Helping people on their time of need. Colleagues are always very friendly.
Worst thing
Some supervisors and managers can be up very superficial and picky, you’ve got to be in with them to have an easy time.
Sometimes it feels as though the efforts you put in are clouded by pre-judgements.
You can’t make a single mistake.
