- In my first job out of college, I had a boss who made me question my value.
- Since then, I've been filled with self-doubt in the workplace.
- But the experience has taught me that bosses are just people and that some aren't good leaders.
"You really should get a different kind of bag," my boss said, eyeing the plain black one next to me. "Adults don't wear backpacks to work."
I was taken aback. I became painfully conscious of my attire. Suddenly I felt like a little kid dressing up in her mom's clothes, mimicking adulthood.
