The day she decided $250,000 wasn't worth it.
“While it has been several weeks, I still remember sitting in my car, holding the steering wheel, and dreading another day of walking into that office.
My boss had just taken credit for my project - again.”
These were the exact words of one of my clients.
Despite leading a team that delivered record results, she was constantly undermined, second-guessed, and overlooked.
The salary was exceptional, and the benefits were what one would want in life.
But she was becoming someone she didn't recognize.
- She used to check emails at 3 AM with anxiety.
- Rehearse simple conversations before meetings became a habit.
- Apologize for decisions that were actually correct happened almost every day.
Then she realized that no compensation package can offset the cost of working for someone who doesn't value you.
The real expense wasn't visible on her payslip - it was showing up in:
↳ Her physical health
↳ Her relationships
↳ Her self-confidence
When she finally left, a lot of colleagues asked if she’d received a better offer.
The truth was she did not when she switched.
But she found a leader who:
- Advocated for her ideas
- Provided criticism with context and kindness
- Recognized her achievements publicly
The ROI of working with someone who respects your contributions isn't just professional growth - it's reclaiming your sense of worth.
If a job makes you doubt your worth, it’s time to find one that reminds you of it.
