Benefits, salary, perks, work from home

I started out as a Technical Solutions Architect.

Three years into my career, I ended up under a particular manager that, according to multiple sources, was not a great manager. I've told my story, unbiased, to several other managers and co-workers, and they all agree that I was really given a raw deal.

I was never given any solid opportunities to sharpen my Marketing Cloud skill set, and the opportunities I was given (working on Accelerators) I excelled at. Every feedback received from customers (via Accelerators) and co-workers alike was nothing less than extraordinary.

However, none of this mattered for some reason. I've kept a document that noted every piece of feedback received, just in case I had to have something to back my story up with.

I feel, along with others, that my manager had a personal vendetta against me and was working to get me dismissed. I was never given opportunities to work on real Marketing Cloud projects; therefore, I couldn't really get some good feedback going from that perspective. I was given the bare minimum to work with and often, I was left without work to do.

In the end, I got tired of this treatment and began looking for other opportunities that really valued what I brought to the table.

If you don't have a great manager, then there's no opportunity for advancement. No real skill set sharpening opportunities either. Get a good manager.

Be there for your employees.

Give your employees opportunities to prove themselves.

Also, everyone is different. We all have varying opinions and perspectives; it's not just your own. We all work differently, so it's important to adapt yourself to your employees to a point.
