I have had new manager for 9 moths, and whatā€™s the biggest different of those two managers. I think itā€™s the attitude to the complain of the clients and the efficiency of the work. The first one also is my mentor I was admired him at first and I thought he was the most generous man on the world. He remember every chance to give his subordinates to get a promotion, and he wants you can earn much more money. At that time I thought I was so lucky to have a boss like him, but after several years I found he was changed and he liked to criticize me. After a terrible experience that he yelled at me in a showroom two years ago. I realized I was just his subordinate and I felt deep disappointed about him. His not as generous as I thought and I realized he didnā€™t have courage to admit his fault. This also makes me realizing that no one is perfect and no one is as strong as you thought, and the only thing I should do is to make myself more and more strong and everything depend on myself.
