Realizations

Has a couple of realizations today. I was talking to a friend about my problems at work. I have a hard time getting along with my boss and it's really been getting to me. I've had trouble eating, had nightmares, and just generally been pretty stressed out. I've been terrified to make a mistake at work because I'm afraid I will get yelled at more and it already happens so often just because of little mistakes! I kept asking myself how someone can get to be in a supervisor position when they treat their employees like that. I kept feeling like a failure because it seems like I just kept messing up and he didn't approve of me or my work and it was all just pretty horrible. But I had some wise advice given to me by my friend:


1: Perhaps my boss just thinks I can take it because when I do get yelled out I always keep my cool and act professionally.
2: Bosses are critical of their employees when the know they are capable of more. Perhaps the reason I feel like my boss has been singling me out and being so hard on me is because I have more potential. Bosses push the people who can do more.

Of course then again my boss could just be a jerk. But I'm gonna be optimistic and just hope that it is one of the above reasons.

I'm quitting so it doesn't really matter anyways. But I want to remember this advice in the future.
