Working for an owner that is a Corp thief (stealing inventory from vendors,)heavy drug user, compulsive liar, mega kickback scheme with two large company reps and continually requests I do unethical business practices. He's involved with another individual, on this and one minute, he loves me (that's just when he needs something) and the next minute he's raging, literally.

I'm a director, yet find it impossible to do my job. The stress and toll this has taken on me is off the charts. You literally feel like you are alone. While you know you need out, you know you need a roof over your head as well. He knows that, as well and is taking advantage of the fact he knows I need my job.

Legally, I know I have him, but it's taking that step and pulling the plug. Being without any income.

I do have a virtual Business Development company that I've had on partial hold. This was always my love. In seeing all of your stories, I'm wondering if some of us don't just work, as a team, together, referring each other's service and support ourselves. No more relying on these crooks. Anyone interested? Just tossing out ideas, because I know there are some incredibly talented, strong women here. We've just given everything, we're exhausted and need a reboot. A rewarding career working for ourselves would be the ticket.

Msg me. I'm definitely on board! Where there is a will, there is a way!

    I'm so sorry to hear you're in this situation. Are you thinking of leaving to go to your business development company? Now seems like the time!

    Thank you so much! I'm definitely wanting to transition to my own company. Rely on myself. Reading these stories reinforces that desire to create change.

    I'm determined to create a business that becomes a hub supporting other female entrepreneurs. No employee should be forced to stay in an abusive work situation, simply to survive. We can, as women, come together, support and and do better for one another.

    This site is tremendous in doing just that.

    Thank you so much.
