Dear Lemon Tree:

“Just an update… To my surprise, my coworkers on the main team are actually really supportive… I am beginning to trust my manager… I’m so relieved that I’m not alone, and the fact that I might have the other meerkats now, makes me feel that I have not wasted my time. With that, I am happy to not delve into what happened with the money that is gone“- I wonder (I don’t know) if your work colleagues are, in your perception, meerkats= good, honest people, one day (that’s when they function well and the wolves in your brain are quiet), and wolves= bad, dishonest people, the next day (that’s when they make mistakes and wolves in your brain are howling loudly)?

“I know someone in our company about same age as me, who has worked here for about 3 years before she got promoted to one level higher, where she can have more ‘power’ in implementing the strategies to increase sales. I think if I stay here for long enough, I will have a chance to do the same. Today an hour before we closed, the amount of sales I made were 3 times more than average… I prefer having a team meeting at least once every 2-3 days, even it is only for 5-10 minutes. A good time will be in the morning before everyone starts. So we discuss the plans of what we’re going to do over the next few days“- it seems like you are very, very motivated and excited about the prospect of getting promoted and becoming a manager of the store, aren’t you?
