But I will talk not about great people...

A little bit about the assistant's environment. And, probably, not in a very pleasant aspect about those people who will always meet you on your way. I mean those who consider you a servant, an empty place, that you're unable to manage projects and hereinafter. Let's go right away - such people will always be on your way. Not confident enough, but completely convinced that their own worthlessness can be saved by their position. Because only a person who is not confident will prove to everyone that he is one step higher. Lord, I'm the elite! How to live on! I have the same position! Something like, look everyone, I'm in a high school! How is it? Assistant - and leader? What nonsense! You can not do it this way! I am also a leader, and here they put a secretary on a one stair with me ?!
I just want to ask - seriously, is everything so bad? I have nothing to do with such colleagues except for a feeling of pity, a desire to pat the head and give a candy. Alas. Yes, I must be a heartless bastard. And I also break the rules, break someone's wretched reality. And, in all likelihood, I am causing irreparable damage to someone's life. Well, damn it, you have a shitty life, I mean. If one assistant managed to piss you off. I know company presidents, I know business owners who do not behave like this. And they are my guide and my motivation whom I want to be. Their upbringing does not allow their inner self-sufficiency, which does not require humiliating everyone around with their arrogance in order to rise and feel better. Therefore, here's a tip. Leave each person his or her own swamp. And go on your way. I do like this. And my (your) colleagues do the same. The good news is that it becomes easier to ignore as you get older! But this is definitely worth learning. Well, if it becomes completely offensive, call your colleagues. After 10 minutes of discussion and laugh, you will be released. Verified! ))))
