So I talked with Reiner about directly assigning tasks to me, saying that it was a assignment from HR, which I said:”Hr told me that Management trainees need to hand over a report on the rotation in a form of independent project. ”My boss felt angry (which I could tell from his face) because he thought I wanted to have my own small projects and separated from the present one. Then my boss answered: ”Nicole, that is not the right way to develop a management trainee, we are doing an end-to end strategic priority, in which you are playing a major role on every stage, and fully support us…..”Mission failed
