I genuinely felt cared for as a newcomer. I didn’t know anything, yet I had so many opinions—it was a bit embarrassing, to be honest. But all I could do was ask, thick-skinned, because opportunities to learn like this don’t come often. I wasn’t trying to cause trouble—I really just wanted to understand. The questions I had weren’t only about work, but also about life. Like, I had absolutely no idea that as a junior producer, when the boss is present, I’m expected to assist with things like handing out menus, ordering food, pouring tea. If the boss’s boss treats you to a meal, you especially can’t say “no” when they ask if you’re full. It seemed like, every time I was around, someone would get mad, someone would laugh until they couldn’t breathe, and someone else would be too awkward to know what to do— And yet me? I honestly had no idea what I’d done wrong.
