My boss
A few years ago I worked as an accountant in a small company. I was a student then and I didn’t have a lot of professional skills. But it was okay for my boss. He thought that it is better to hire a “green” specialist and the company will “grow” him (1)them as it needs(2), than to find a good professional at once (3)from the beginning. There’s no necessary to explain that I can’t be in time with all of my job tasks. But my boss thought it is okay and it’s just a training period. (4.1)As I was still training, I found myself not completing my daily tasks in a timely manner, which is typical and expected as a new hire. Regardless, I was not satisfied with my accomplishments during my shift, so I would stay after work to complete the tasks that were given to me. When I started to stay at work after working hours, my boss thought up that if he gives me a bit more tasks I will hurry up and my things will go faster (actually these tasks were not even very important for company or anybody else, it were just some stupid tasks really). (4.2)When my boss picked up on my habits of staying later in the day, I feel as though he began to start taking advantage of me, piling mundane tasks on top of an already backlogged employee. Obviously this caused a chain reaction of events, and not only were things not getting done. My boss decided to penalize me, instead of pay me, for working overtime.Things were not getting done. Then my boss decided to penalize me for my after-work-staying. (4.3) It became the last drop in my dissatisfaction of him.(5)My boss had finally pulled the last straw, and I willfully left the company. But now (6) In hindsight, I think it was a great experience for me, and I’m thankful to (7) of my boss for this blessing in disguise, which has enabled me to grow as a person(8). It made me search an (9)seek information about time management, which is very useful in every sphere of our (10) an admirable trait to excel in, which will carry on throughout all aspects of life such as; maotherhood, housekeeping, studying something new, and personal care.

A few years ago, I worked as an accountant for/in a small company. I was a student then, and I didn’t have a lot of professional skills. But it was okay for my boss. He thought that it was better to hire greenhorns and let them develop their skills within the company than find experienced professionals straight away.It is not necessary to say that I couldn't coup with most of tasks then, since it was a pretty obvious fact. But my boss thought that it was okay, since I was still under training/ it was just a training period. When I started to stay back at work after working hours, my boss thought up/figured that if he gave me a bit more tasks, I would hurry up and my things would get done faster (actually these tasks were not even very important for the company or anybody else; they were just some stupid tasks really). Things were still not getting done. Then my boss decided to penalize me for my staying back at work.
It became the last drop in my dissatisfaction of him. > That was the last straw. I quitted my job.
But, now I think it was a great experience for me, and I’m thankful to my boss for that. It made me search for information about time management, which is something that is very useful and applicable to every aspect of our lives, such as during motherhood, for housekeeping, when studying something new, and the time for personal care. I say “Thank you! Thank you, Vova”
