After resigning from a United States company, I received an offer to work for a company owned by a good friend who had worked with me on several projects at the company I had worked for before.

Actually, at that time I had the idea of starting another business related to photography, but in a different form from the business I ran for the first time. But finally I accepted an offer from this good friend of mine while slowly preparing for a photography business in the future.

Small companies, but customers are big companies

My best friend is a career woman who is the same age as me. His company is a tech company that only has 5 employees and is the smallest company I have ever worked for. In my life history until now, I have worked from small companies to large companies and local and foreign companies.

Although this company is small, this good friend of mine is a very intelligent person and has managed to achieve projects from large companies.

Feeling jealous and afraid because I managed to establish a good relationship with customers

In the first 6 months, my relationship with this good friend was very good, and he was satisfied with my work. I can also establish good relationships with customers. But eventually, it started to cause envy, and I was afraid that I would snatch the customer and open my own business in the same field.

He started slandering me in front of other co-workers and customers. But he still needed my energy to work in his company, so he didn't dare to shift me.

When he needed the manpower to follow a project at a customer's company, he would compliment me. When the project was finished, he started saying nasty things in front of me, even in front of all the other co-workers, that my mobile phone number was unlucky and would result in death in the office building. A few days later, when there was a project that needed me, he came back to compliment me and asked me to help him.

From then on, I was determined to speed up the process of starting my photography business and ignored his words until he couldn't stand it anymore to ask me out.

I didn't feel resentment towards him and instead felt sorry for him because he didn't realize he had a mental disorder. Until now, I still have a good relationship with some of the employees in this company.

In the next article, I will tell you about my process of starting my business the second time and getting support from many parties.
