April 16, 2019 Negative Post-28

April 16, 2019: Worked with my grandfather today, and my whole mindset exploded. I followed my grandfather's instructions, but there were constant complaints. Whether it was about using tools or moving C-shaped steel, there were many things to be criticized. Being scolded and complained about is fine, but the continuous fault-finding really gets on my nerves. This has been going on for three years. When working with my grandfather, I tend to stay silent. I'm well aware of what will happen if I say something – it will be met with rebuttals. So, I choose to keep my mouth shut and endure silently.

Just when I think, "This is the right way," my grandfather would respond angrily, saying, "What's right about this?" After continuing the work, he might change his tune, saying, "What you said is right." Even after working for nearly a month, the job is still not finished. I started on March 22. My grandfather pays me less than 500NT for a day's work, 2000NT for two weeks, and only 4000NT for a month. The only reason he asks me to work is that he can't find anyone else, and I'm the only one who can help him. To put it bluntly, it's about saving money. I feel I need to finish this job at least before I can start looking for another one. If I tell my grandfather that I want to quit and find a different job, he would only react with anger and annoyance.
