Line in the Sand

“As a speech therapist working in a skilled nursing facility, I’ve encountered my fair share of difficult situations, but one boss in particular stood out for being truly awful. In fact, the entire rehab staff at my previous job had to come together to sign a letter asking for his removal, which eventually happened. I, too, left that place and joined my current job.”

“One day, I happened to visit the rehab gym at my new workplace and was shocked to see that same boss sitting in my current boss’s office. I was taken aback and assumed he was interviewing for a job there. In response, I immediately went to my then-boss and made it clear that if he got hired, I would walk out immediately. She looked stunned but quickly assured me that he wasn’t being employed there. It was the first time I had drawn such a firm line in the sand.”
