As you get a bit older, you realise the importance of being kinder to others. It's your choice whether you'll be nice rather than mean, but generally people can't help whether they are smart or not.

CW1 is early 30’s. CW2 is late 50’s. Age doesn’t equal maturity. Maturity happens when concern for others outweighs one’s own. I believe both kindness and smarts are learned traits.

I don’t know what went wrong, but I don’t think I’m the only one to have felt this. Sorry for the sads!

Your teammate with the same title and pay as you is at your desk all the time for help.

The teammate has been with the company for longer than me.
