Not all bosses are as understanding as you are or actually care about their employees :(

[asthaagrawal]

You really helped me find the right words. I'll surely talk to my boss in coming days. Am little relaxed to see that it's not only me who is going through all this. Thank you so much!

[aimeementzer]

God - I really needed to hear this today. I'm so tired of having panic attacks when I think about work. I think I'll talk to my boss on Monday.

[etaylorw]

Thank you so so much. I’m a female in a male dominated position and I work for an amazing company however I have been dealing with such backlash about how I’m not strong enough and I’m not fast enough compared to others in my field. I am literally anxiety ridden every morning and night and I have stepped into closets and bathrooms to cry or even just regroup but the only “help” I’ve been given is to not call in and work through it and tough it out. I cannot work like that and on top of everything I’m in the middle of a separation with my husband and we have a young son whom happens to be autistic so it’s been extremely difficult. I’m going on to work today to have this conversation. I am scheduled today so that may look bad but they’ve cut my hours back to one day a week :(

[Bluesnakes]

I am blown away by your communication skills. I’ve come across many great speakers, but you are one of the best I’ve heard in my life in person and online. Your message is clear, delivered precisely, and the content is immensely helpful and insightful. I followed along peacefully and gladly, you had my full attention... I am so impressed and in awe of your skill... Thank you SO much for this message. 🙏

[amyaguirre]

So very helpful and I get on that first thing Monday. I just started a new roll on Tuesday last week and it is courage to allow our voice to be heard after so many years of suffering in silence. Thank you, thank you. 🙏

[emlouis]

Thank you so much! This was exactly what I needed to hear. ‘I want to be successful, but I am not sure I can get that here unless things change’ 👏🏻

[walboyfredo]

Very good but some Supervisors are not understanding, some Supervisors would prefer you to resign rather then allow you to transfer if they found out that you are unhappy. Some Supervisors feel that they don't need that change and they tried to make you feel that YOU are the problem.

I tried to talk to my supervisor and she shut me down. She never even made an effort to have a professional relationship with me. I just told her I've accepted a job offer and she is PISSED. She even started micromanaging me and undermining me in front of my co-workers. She did not even share the departure news with the team. This is why managers are blindsided with resignations.

[poilkification]

Thank you, Jennifer! This video is spot on for what I'm going through. I dread waking up because of my job and talk myself out of quitting every single day. Now I know how to share my feelings with my manager.

[eapirir]

Sometimes I wonder what my boss does to earn her paycheck. Thank you

[HelloKim]

I want to switch to a completely different position and I am afraid they will fire me for being unhappy with my current position. It’s not that I can’t handle it .. it’s mainly because it’s not what I wanted to do from the beginning. This has been very overwhelming and I don’t know what are the right words to say...

[yml]

Fantastic video. Plan to have this conversation with my boss tomorrow, your video really made me feel empowered!

[lauracopney]

I told my boss 2 weeks ago that I felt I could not succeed in this position and wanted to have a conversation with her. I ask again yesterday, we are expected to meet today. I am going to HR today as well wether we meet or not. I don’t want to leave the company, however I am making myself sick working in this position on this team.

[keitha.neubert]

A teacher with very good perspective and a kind tone.
Very helpful!

[StarDedee]

I really appreciate this video, it's clear and educative. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us 🥰

[asdf]

I have a meeting tomorrow, because I said "we need to have a serious 1 on 1" because of a coworker situation that I faced yesterday that is ongoing.

[dayanrocha]

Thank you for this information. I have a meeting scheduled with my supervisor about me not being completely happy. This video help answer questions about my situation. Wish me luck. And hope we have some changes in my team.

[britegrl]

This video has been very helpful. I guess my concern is that if I specify that I love my company and I am just voicing my concerns, could they fire me ? Not that they should or could .

[Scenicvidz]

Thanks this is perfect for the conversation I am going to have tomorrow, my boss has been good enough to set up a meeting to resolve issues, so I will follow your advice!
