Was manager perhaps a non-native English speaker?

I'm going to start using that from now on. 😂

Burning brides is bad. Crossing them is good.

Managers are lazy... They honestly have it made... Be prepared to not receive help. Sucks bc they are supposed to develop ppl, but if they do have to coach you... They will use it against you later on.
