Being the boss can really suck.

I've done it a few times.

One of the worst things is terminating people.

It might sound glamorous and it can be a slight power trip.

There are few feelings more frustrating and disappointing than realizing that a job simply isn't a good fit.

To some people, a job is a job, so they'll force themselves to go to work to earn the paycheck until a better job comes along.

Others however will come to the decision that the pay, be it big or small, simply isn't worth the monotonous, soul-sucking, or downright toxic atmosphere they need to report to, and quit with no prospects in sight.

Most people do this after a few months, or even a year, giving ample notice so as not to burn bridges or potentially harm their reputation.

Yes, we need to make money to survive, but some work opportunities will only ever lead to toxic drama.

Listen to your instincts.

Then run. I promise there are other jobs.

"What happened during an interview that immediately made you realize you wouldn’t take the job no matter how much they offered you?"

Nobody is better than anybody else. Why is that such a difficult concept for so many people? One person doesn't get a pass for certain things that another person would be scolded for "just because."

Even in family dynamics, double standards are at play. Why should sons get a later curfew than daughters? Why can't a man vacuum? HOW are we still having these conversations?

It's time to break down the constructed hierarchies that have been imposed upon society. Let's get it all out there, so that we're all aware, so we can do better.
