Never believe you need something so badly that you must put up with disrespect.
As many of you know I've been an entrepreneur my entire life and recently closed my therapy practice to study web design. I decided to get a 'regular' job to cover my bills while doing so and boy have my eyes been opened to how corporations treat their employees now-a-days! I will spare you the long sorted details of my recent experience, suffice to say, I walked right out the door with that song, "You can take this job and shove it..." playing in my head.
Please never-ever believe you need something so badly that you must allow yourself to be disrespected by another. Not by a family member, a friend, a partner and certainly not an employer. Just exit. No amount of money is ever worth being dishonored.
Remember we're always teaching people how to treat us and I for one am not much for second chances anymore because I learned long ago, when someone shows you who they are, it's best to believe 'em the first time and simply move on.
Love yourself baby, and don't take no shit!
