I continue to be baffled by my manager’s approach to product packaging and advertisement design. He has such a narrow focus, that if it doesn’t meet what he thinks it should look like, he immediately dismisses it. Often to the point of ridicule. I am in no way saying that what I come up with is perfect or correct, but his constant criticism towards everything I do is destroying my confidence and making me question every instinct that I’ve acquired during my entire career so far.

And to think, just six months ago I was so elated to get this job.
