I am writing a new book for women who are ready to kick ass. It's not far enough along to have a release date yet, but I'm really proud of it so far. This is one of the passages from my first draft. You're very welcome to comment and let me know whether this resonates...
I've always had amazing employers throughout my career. Until I didn't. Most of my managers were flexible and cared about their employees. They always tried to do the right things for them, even if it was difficult. I'd watch other people in other industries slog...
