They are giving you the gift of showing you their true colors. Don’t waste any time on it, and if you must hear it, remember what they said. Write it down even. Use it to light a fire under your ass to blast through any walls until you make it
Success is not a straight line. Remember who believed in you before that, it will help a lot after
My first real job was at a huge company that amongst other things was one of the big 4 accounting firms from the US. Almost 200K employees at the time. They had gone through the Enron scandal and rebranded the whole company and branched out into a bunch of non-accounting things pretty succsessfully
The CEO came to my country for an event. Said he had been with the company for over 30 years, from very early on. He said he was not the smartest man in the room in most of his meetings, he didn’t go to an ivy league college, and his family wasn’t crazy rich or anything like that. He said that he kept trying to deliver even when things were bad and even as people were leaving the company, and that as far as he understood he was given the job because he was the last man standing: the only way to fail is to give up
