@AD1 no but that’s an oddly specific example!

@Manager1 the difference between a Manager and a Director is the level of snark. Keep up the hard work at low pay and maybe you’ll get the there someday. Good luck!

Sour grapes, baby. Just take the mentality that’ll help you sleep at night

Even the most self-confident person needs some occasional external validation. Totally normal, just don’t dwell on it.
