Yes, I got one which affected me a lot.

It was a story about my last manager. 2 years ago, I transferred to Cloud team internally from blockchain. Yeah, both of them were so hot and even today. I had to make this transfer because I have to relocated to another city where my family resides. And my mom was so sick, I had to consider to take care of her. This is the background.

At the first few weeks, I tried to learn the new knowgede of cloud native and it was so depressed. I was so new and I was not an open man. Because my mother's health condition always makes me so gloomy. I could not be open. So it was not efficient. Well, I love opensource and I have some experiences. So I was assigned to do some open source projects for our products. Now here we have the them:

1. My manager called me to out of the opensource team for something else that I did not listened and not interested at that time. 2. He said this was his team and he was the only man can decide that no one could change.

I was a little shocked at first. And hated this then. But I could not change this. I knew the only way I changed this that I argued with him or leave. I knew at that time every body in our team had quarrelled with him. But I felt down at that time I could spare the energy to fight.

I made my mistakes. Not sure this was a mistake. I have no idea who things would went if I had a different choice. I chose to accept it even though I felt so bad. I could have choosen another blockchan startups.

So I had a bad 1.5 years work experience in my career. One interesting story:

My manager wants us to show our minds about team. Guys had their voices out and the summary sent to him, which were all agaist him. Can you image what he looked like?

He denied all the comments from guys. And continued to do as his will. Then 8 months later, our team was laid off, all but me. I had a health condition at that time.

It was a bad experience. I should not have hesitated. I should have called out my thoughts. Or just leave.

Life is short. Please stay happy and focus on the lovable things.
