Lookback: This summer

Got demoted from manager to lifeguard

I felt incompetent and worried about my future after being demoted

What I wish I knew
"Maybe I was trying too hard and not doing it my own way"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't be too hard on yourself, it's a learning experience"

Clear regret.
The downsides outweighed what was gained.
