Yes. Was demoted (and bullied) when I returned from maternity leave. I tuned out all the politics and noise and just remained focused. The bullying boss left after about a year, I got a new boss who gave me tremendous opportunity and a lot of exposure to upper management. My confidence soared and I eventually left to start my own business, and the upper management of this company is a large client. I am making great money, work mostly from home and have a lot of time for my kids. [ Reply | More

How much time do you have? Every job I’ve ever had has had major setbacks. The win is that I’m still here. From awful bosses to awful Co workers to awful projects. And I still am here! [ Reply | More

Yes. I made what initially was a terrible decision to change jobs just one year shy of turning 50. Less than a month I got a new boss I could not stand at all, and the job was nothing like what I expected it to be. I tried but wasn’t able to make a change, and I’m a single mother so I couldn’t just walk away. Let me tell you, I had to dig very, very deep to get to a place where I could lean into it, and I kissed my boss’ ass a TON to turn that relationship around, but now 18 months later I’m in a pretty good place with it. I think my point is that we have it in ourselves to do what we have to do. [ Reply | More
