No matter how long you studied for, youll definitely still be learning some things on the job.
The media designer was excited when she landed her first job in the industry.
She embraced each task with the utmost enthusiasm.

After that company let me go I started doing a lot of freelance work.
It helped that I had all of the equipment I could possibly need, she said.
I happened to get the job and work my way up organically, she told us.
So I went back to school to finish my degree not long after they let me go.
Dont expect a thank you, she said of the experience.
The employee added that she now approaches work differently.
Its a people pleasing mentality that Ive been trying to shake.
I know I needed the reality check to realize how terrible I was being treated.
The former employee revealed that there had been serious trouble brewing long before she was let go.
And in retrospect she now realizes just how toxic the environment was.
She came to realize it was a roundabout way of saying no.
So she would make magic happen on her own.
Which basically translates into her spending more of her own money, for the benefit of the company.
It was never giant things either, it was just smaller things that over time added up.

Well need a new one before the next event.
My boss was RICH rich.
