These days I suddenly felt a little disappointed in my boss. Before I came into this company, I thought my boss was a pretty good boss who definitely knew work-life balance. After I’ve been worked for 3 months, I finally noticed that sometimes I couldn’t be able to meet his expectations, for example, he would work even though in after hours. It’s so typical that he wanted me to finished the project which he thought it was too complicated. It’s obvious that I was not be able to understand the process if my boss didn’t tell me. Also he had his own expectations but he never told. It’s another stress for me.
