Great post that soooooo many of us can identify with. My last bout with this type of thing-not the verbal abuse- but just being treated unfairly for one reason or another and dared to notice. Trying to negotiate with my boss was impossible so I did the next best thing, in my mind, and started my own business using my expertise that was carefully ignored and did a similar business with a twist. It was very hard and I had to have a job, my boss knew my circumstance, I managed to juggle the two "jobs" until
my business attracted investors which made things really begin to happen. Looking back, it was a true miracle that saved me from drowning after the big plunge! I never look back to those days only to gain respect for all that are in this type situation and make it "out"!
