I always knew that I was not or would never be an intelligent and lively person in that extrovert group. It's not something complicated, it was another truth like all the other, so I didn't regret thinking about it. My colleagues in the company know me as a hardworking person who will complete all assignments timely, who will never talk nonsense, will not waste time chatting, and who will never make lame excuses.
They loved me for it, and I loved myself for being a silent and reserved person. But, let me tell you - this does not mean that a reserved person can never enjoy a warm relationship. Sometimes it can be because they can't find anyone in a group whose wavelengths match theirs. But, on the other hand, it could be just that. However, this group is not so inconsistent that I'm not too fond of the company. On the contrary, as a lousy extrovert, I enjoy spending time with them.
The company made significant progress. I am one of the project managers, a small reflection of which was also visible on my paychecks but not large enough, especially when my efforts for the company's profit were taken into account. They offered me double the salary I received. My resignation letter was accepted after several discussions with a managing director who was a woman.
She was a strong-headed and attractive woman; her age would be around 40, I guess. He promised me a pay rise, but the offer I accepted was nowhere to be found. Not only was it a common topic of discussion between us, as she was the managing director, I was a little lower than her in the organizational tree, but it didn't stop me from saying my points clearly - my efforts were in every successful project; they took advantage of the company and peanuts, which I was fed.
I never acted but just told the truth - I needed a salary that supports my sweat and pain, And the new job got me what I wanted. I knew the truth would not affect her or anyone else. But my job was not to impress anyone but to explain myself. Everyone in the company respected or feared the woman because of her position and ability, and skill, but I didn't care; as I said before, I was not as everyone thinks.
She was a strong pillar of the company who had a positive outlook about its future. But knowing or caring for these details about her was not my business. The next thing was a party, yes, a farewell party. I wanted to give them so that they could go to better positions, and they arranged this event to thank me for my service and friendship.
