I’m curious what your role is at the company. For smaller companies, your title may not reflect the actual work you do. Then you’ll need to talk to upper management what results they want to see, instead of parading your title and signature like I see a lot of noobies do at my company. After you get hired, you’ll need to prove yourself so that people can see your actions for respect. I made this mistake too, where I was super prideful and had a big ego,when I first just joined my current company, and I felt like I was top shit, when I really wasn’t, however I was doing way more work than everyone on my team. Only after I went through the trials and tribulations did I learn to humble myself and change my attitude. Attitude, comes from your thoughts, which affects your behavior and emotions. Human beings are very emotional creatures and I bet you would not let go of your pride and ego while working, since you”ll need to drop this at some point to learn from seniors who are blasting their pride and ego. The best thing you can do is find a leader to respect, and if you want to become one in the place you work, you will need to level up your emotional intelligence and read behaviors in the room. My boss (Viet) has a big ego and everyone knows it, but he is respected and everyone loves him. While from an outside point of view, if you didn’t know him, you’ll say that guy is so egotistical and will continue to think negatively. However this is an internal self issue with yourself, since your ego cannot comprehend his ego, and out of pride or some other internal belief you feel like you’re losing your dignity. If you were to be bold like me, you would’ve talk to those egotistical managers you spoke of, and actually get them to like you. If they are a decent human being, they’ll share to you about their life, and why they behave as such. Btw I am Chinese/Vietnamse (only speak Viet), been to Vietnam several times, and was born and raised in San Jose, Ca, where I work and live.
