So, why did I quit my corporate job?
Let's just say it was the perfect cocktail of toxic work culture and misogyny. Working remotely was supposed to offer freedom and flexibility, but instead, it felt like being tethered to a sinking ship, helmed by a misogynistic captain who delighted in belittling the women in his employ. False promises were his currency, and gaslighting was his game. I've never been one to hide my feelings, and after two years of being taken advantage of, I could no longer "grin and bear it."
So let's get back to the question at hand, why did I finally stand up for myself and quit my corporate job? Because I refuse to be a pawn in someone else's twisted power play. Because I value my sanity more than any paycheck. Because I refuse to let anyone diminish my worth or stomp on my spirit. Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is walk away from a situation that no longer serves you, even if it means stepping into the great unknown.
