Writing exercise

I changed my manager for 2 months, and I liked this change. Before I got a lot of stress on my work and I had thought about resigning. Before I didn’t like a colleague’s behavior, but my manager treated him very good and gave him high position and good pay. I felt it was unfair, and I didn’t know why. Why I didn’t like the colleague could get more. But now, my new manager and I have same standards, and she also doesn’t like the colleague who I don’t like.
