Is this guy fucking serious, I’ve been leading this building for 10 years, in the company for almost 14, I do more work than him or anyone else in the building. I decided to sit down with the owner of the company and resign my position, upon discussing my reasons for resigning he was extremely supportive. My supervisor is quite the shit talker and he’s now running his mouth of how I quit bc I’m a bitch, it’s ok, I feel amazing and free.
