I Have Taken A Leap Of Faith

I was thinking about life and what was the worst thing I encountered. Death, yes. But being stuck was another horrible issue.

I am not one to take chances. I have always had 2 very sick children to take care and when my mom passed, I raised my youngest brother as my own.

I got stuck in dead end jobs because i feared that I would lose my benefits but also, I am in a specialty position and I worried I would not find another job that I was qualified to do.

With that being said, I had a job where the boss always had a whipping post. He chose single women because he was not accountable to anyone. He was completely abusive, yelling at me in the aisles and isolating me from the entire company.

One day I was helping a coworker with a problem. This boss came to me and told me that I had better keep my butt in my chair and then proceeded to throw an email in my face.

That did it. I was possessed. I had the presence of mind to copy the email and I marched across the office and literally threw it back in his face.

I told him that he would have my letter of resignation the next morning and left for home.

I laid on the bed in shock. What had I done? I only had 65 cents in my purse. Was I crazy?

The next morning, I marched my letter of resignation in. He was more shocked than I. Upper management begged me to stay. They knew the whole time he was abusing me and allowed it to happen. I was not the first by the way. I just had enough.

within the week, i had 2 interviews and ended up in the position I am in now. Happy as can be and paid well.
