I get your point. Its not that I completely ignored it. I did a lot of things proactively. But he doesn't seem to be interested at all. That's when I realized, I would rather focus on my own career.
Great bosses are interested and nurture.
Ok bosses are overwhelmed and trying to stay afloat.
Bad bosses are negative forces.
It’s really nice to have a great boss, but usually I have an ok boss. So I don’t fixate if they aren’t interested, so what can I do. I can be more interesting.
Bosses aren’t parents, and they aren’t gods or shepherds. They are people too and it’s important to not build up mental fantasies where they need to be interested or there’s some exclusive choice between focusing on your own career and focusing on your bosses career.
