    I literally just got promoted 5 months ago with a massive raise and I have dreams at least once a week that my boss hates me and wants to fire me. Why is my brain broken?

      Almost exact situation I have except mine was longer than a few months ago.

      My boss tells me on every annual review we have that I’m too hard on myself. It’s still hard to get out of that mindset.

      But I believe it helps me stay a productive worker so it works itself out in the end, versus someone who is arrogant and never betters themselves or does more to make up for what they think they’re missing.
