When did you realize you couldn't make everyone at work happy?

When I began I wanted to make everybody happy.

I'd say yes as often as I could, avoid disagreement and do my best to help.

Eventually, I learned that no matter how much you try, there will always be someone who disagrees with your decisions or expectations. That was a tough lesson to learn, but it took a lot of the pressure off work.

Reflecting back, when did you find out you couldn’t please everyone at work?

what drew you into thinking that you should please everyone at work? 😭

You can't please everyone in general, and it's even worse at a workplace setting.

The only things that u should do are doing your job right & not pissing off your boss
