If you were talked into applying for a position by a good person/someone you admire as a leader. This would be a said “Opportunity of a life a time”, work life balance, more money and all. You ended getting the position and within 3 month you feel you’re living hell on earth. The boss is not good to work with (I’m being very generous), not understanding of the business. The workload is far superior than promised and you just sent go quit. Would you talk with who led you into the job?What to say?
