One time, her child got sick right when she had to work on a project, so the progress was delayed and her bonus for that month was cut. She told her boss with tears in her eyes, but he still coldly told her to know how to organize her work properly, and not let personal matters affect the common work.
In return, she learned many things from her old boss such as the ability to look at things and phenomena from multiple perspectives and analyze and dissect them to make decisions, how to handle problems thoroughly from the root, not the tip... and most importantly, the characteristic of daring to do and take responsibility, not blaming anyone. But she still had to resign because she could not stand the pressure and increasing work intensity of the company.
Moving to a new place, with lower salary and more leisurely work, it seems like an ideal environment, but the new boss likes to scold and belittle employees, sometimes for just a few small reasons, with words that would make someone with high self-esteem say "give me back my shoes".
She felt that he couldn't stand anyone in the company who dressed better or lived a happier life than him. So whoever met him would often have to put on a sad face and complain about his life with many sufferings that no one would know about. More importantly, he couldn't teach her anything good.
So many times, while working, she would reminisce about the years working at her old company and regret. In the past, her friends used to say that wherever she went, she would just stay in this world, "wandering around makes life tiring". Everyone in life has this or that dream, wanting tomorrow to be better than today. But she herself does not want or is afraid to change herself to be better.
She thought about it and found it was true and felt much more at peace. Suddenly her phone rang, her boss wanted to see her right away, his voice sounded happy. It turned out that he wanted to promote her. He said that she worked professionally, was hard-working, diligent, and had a lot of patience, and that when her superiors scolded her, she didn't argue, just kept quiet and did better. She wondered: Am I really patient or am I bored, treating my boss like a husband at home, who can scold her however he wants!
