Next week will be the last week for this tedious education project.
This project makes feel exhausted not because itā€™s work time ā€” as an overseas project, itā€™s work time is less stressed than most local cases. However, working with the manager of this project puts a lot of pressure on me. This project manager is known for his harsh working style in our firm. During the last few weeks I worked with him, Iā€™ve been criticized strictly by him every day. I am generally a personwho is willing to devote my time and effort to my work, and I have built my image of ā€œa smart and diligent fresh manā€ in my firm through my past 2 projects, but my confidence has been challenged in this project, and I feel bad for it. I understand that i canā€™t change his way of expression and all I can do is getting used to it and be responsible for the quality of my work. My friend told me that I should feel lucky for that this is not my first project otherwise my confidence might be destroyed for this projectĀ 🙁
