1. "Regardless of what potential others see in you, the most important thing is you want to make a move. You know yourself; if you don't like the things you do, you won't have results."
It was supportive words from a former superior from a company I left for my career break.
2. "Don't worry, go with your gut; if you work hard, you'll do fine with either choice. Don't feel bad; it's all okay. Think for yourself to grow your career."
These are the words of a former superior from a company where it became my first interview after the 6 months career break. It was my first experience working in a commercial team.
3. "If people around you don't speak up, it's a good opportunity for you in the future. But if you want to stay longer, speak up but remember to be aligned with the management."
It was from a former leader that left the organization I'm currently working with. I only work with this lead for a month.
4. "If you are not feeling well, I will advise you to see a doctor and apply for MC. If you are taking care of your care and not getting enough sleep, I can give you my approval or exception."
And these are the words of my current manager.
Having an empathetic manager is undoubtedly a +1 for me.
Because you know that they actually want the best for you.
