You are awake till late night. You answer your boss’s call early morning still, miss going out with your kids that day. Your boss tells you you are great, you are awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then your boss starts his preparation to impress his boss. Takes your work, adds a layer of complexity by combining with a larger vision, and even smaller time for family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all this, you reach the appraisal time. You are looking for that promotion. You spend your days thinking about what will happen if you don’t get it. Why your colleague doesn’t deserve. You have worked harder. Sacrificed more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then you get it. You are on top of the world. You feel invincible. You feel like you can do nothing wrong. You are destined for greatness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then day 2 happens. Then Day 7. Then it becomes another day. Then you are putting that late night call again. You are now someone’s boss. But you still have a boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All this for a line in your CV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
