I was managing 9 staff and 250 rental cars with next to no experience, and I was shit at it. I was working ridiculous hours, running myself into the ground and hating life.
I didn't seek out feedback early in my career and certainly didn't welcome it if it was given freely. I thought I knew everything and couldn’t see that you never really do.
The constant frustration that I wasn’t offered the tasks I felt best suited to. Despite being in the company for years, I felt like I was on the outside.
