Think About Your Life Decisions
“I left a job at a reputable company to join a start-up with one of my customers. I didn’t realize that he was – in his words – a “sociopath.” Business trips to foreign countries were really just attempting to woo me. I know you’re thinking “lawsuit,” but this gem told me at the very beginning that, “lawsuits aren’t about who is right or who is wrong – they are about who has the most money to fight the longest.”
“The final straw was a trip to Amsterdam for a “customer meeting” that turned out to be another attempt to get me “to stop fighting it and just spend the night.” I told him that “I would rather die” and escaped to my room. I woke up to a note under my door the next morning saying that he had left the country and I needed to seriously think about my life decisions. I changed my flight and went back to the US that afternoon and never looked back. The kicker? He closed up shop and didn’t even send me a W-2 at tax time, leaving me to clean up the mess with the IRS. Lesson learned.”
