Know Your Worth at Work
Shitty people will always treat you like shit. There’s no two ways around it. We can give them excuse after excuse and often people won’t be able to see the woods for the trees (pardon the metaphor, how old-wives-tale of me) which is fair but any good manager, boss, entrepreneur should be a bigger picture kind of person, no?
