My career in agencies ended when I was hired to be assertive and help shake up a culture that had become too safe. “We know what you’re like”, he (a previous boss) said “we want you to question everything”. A year later I was paid off for doing just that. The lawyer that signed my agreement wanted me to take them to court for gender discrimination said I had a strong case and would make an excellent witness. I didn’t because I was afraid of the emotional cost and thought it would affect my future employment prospects. As it turned out I left the industry a year later anyway. But anyway, I relate thank you for all you do xx
Quiet courage and quiet confidence for Quiet Visionaries.
Love it.
Sound like you?
Yes absolutely 😁

Sounds like a classic case of the Glass Cliff theory?
Maybe, it was a buoyant economy at the time. I think it was a case of me being too trusting and unwilling to play the dysfunctional politics.
