In 2010 I was a senior manager in a nice firm ,My future was bright in the company and I was highly recommended for head of my department .There was a rising star as well ,his name is Jacob . I tutored him and tried to manage his Excesses because he was exceptionally brilliant . But he was lazy and care free .Hardly would he take corrections and rarely would he apologize . My other colleagues wondered what I saw in him ,But they weren't working directly with him .i knew his type : he hated structure and wouldn't last under a corporate environment. Still he was a brilliant strategist I handled him very well and our results together with others on my team was highly commendable . There came a time I was having marital issues and for this reason I had little patience with Jacob and his shenanigans . I was short tempered with him but he has gotten to me managing his Excesses ,he didn't take my anger seriously . In two weeks ,I had given him 3 queries . This meant dismissal and when I was asked by HR to let him go ,I could not care less . I had my own problems and wasn't ready to baby sit anyone .
