7 years, that’s what I gave up for a family business.
4 years of listening to my boss cheat on his wife while she did all the work.
3 years of my boss’ sister telling me she couldn’t find anyone to help work in my position.
3 years of teaching her children, who were paid employees, how to make videos of themselves on vacation in Mexico with their friends.
I prayed with them at my yearly reviews. They knew I wasn’t a Christian.
I attended the office Xmas party where their children coughed and sneezed all over the food.
I was the only one in my department.
7 years and they pay capped me at $13.
I left a note on the break room table, blocked them on caller ID, and all social networks.
I’m making a whole lot more than $13 now, and you should know you’re worth more too!
