(11,370 posts)She worked up to being a junior manager and employer found major mistake manager caused costing thousands and fired her on the spot leaving my daughter to take over not having learned everything.
I watched her confidence go up and up over the years until now she doesn't think twice about any of it.
I remember first time she had to fire someone. First time for reports she wasn't shown how to do, etc.
What she did was try her hardest, found ways to learn what was needed, from asking other managers, to taking a few classes, to hiring specialized training for herself when needed and going to some. She worked hard, put in extra hours with support from whole family she demanded raises over and over through the years from owner who tried to pay less because she was younger.
Now she is very well paid and has bought into part of large business as her retirement for the future.
And yes mom is very proud of her
