It’s not what it’s all cracked up to be unfortunately. I did have an opportunity to do something very good however. One of my employees husband had a stroke. She was 6 weeks away from her leave benefits would kick in. The company allowed us to gift vacation time. I gave her mine. I did it quietly but people found out and many people followed suit. She ended up being able to take more than enough time to take care of her husband. It was great to help her. I had one of the best years of my career at that company. Great review bonus. I was fired because I did one very big thing wrong: I outshined the master. I made my manager look bad because I was a a high performer. Some people just want to tear people down. It was horrible.
