I wish there was a person with whom I can totally be real with. I’m tired of pretending. No, I’m not as confident as you may think. A lot of times, I doubt my own capabilities as well. Some people intimidate me, and at times, I fear about being and staying alone. I am tired […]

2.5 weeks. That’s the amount of time that I gave my assistant before calling him into a conference room, and telling him that unfortunately, he isn’t a good fit for the job. My company has never let a temporary employee go before, and my case should be the first time. I feel like crap bringing […]
