There is something I cannot overcome easily. It really bothers me even if some years have passed already.
It is that my ex employee who I basically thought him everything about my work, a guy with zero education, no even he completed his high school, I took him and raised like a young brother... at the end this motherfucker tried stealing my customers, opened his company secretly, and start to compete with me in a way that resemble a beggar.
Whenever I see him promoting food on his instagram, copying what I do, I feel a mix of disgust and a wish to rewind to the past and cancel what I did.
How can people be so ungrateful?
I should have left him washing the dishes in that fucking Italian pizzeria where I met while I was having lunch.
It is the first time I regret being empathic!

not easy, but if i was in your situation i would try to reframe it from a positive perspective: now he will push you to execute at your best, and his success means your success as a teacher
Yes you are right. Most of the time I felt that way but his attitude to just sell cheap to get more customers is what makes that difficult to appreciate. If he could do his work with value without just going low, then it would be different. In the past I tried collaborating with him and sold his stuff but then his behavior made me angry again and we stop talking. Not easy but will try it… thank you 🙏
