We was craving people to show us what you had to do

to be successful.

And I do believe that.

I do believe that being successful comes with sacrifice.

And I do believe that you really have to push yourself in your workplace.

Do I believe you have to do that at the expense of your mental health?

Do I believe you have to do that and be shit to other people?

No.

Those things are not mutually exclusive.

So what I see now as this next iteration of hashtag Girlboss 2.0 is taking all the good stuff from that era and showing people what you can do in your job

But also showing them that you do not have to work to 10 p.m.

And maybe this is also very specific to the industry that I'm in.

But you do not have to kill yourself for the job or for the fucking corporate ladder to be successful.

You and I have had this conversation so many times.

We have had to unlearn so much of what was imposed on us by our bosses.

And we were told that is what is going to get you a promotion.

That is a,

I will hand on my heart say that was said to me.

If you are not seen as the last person leaving this office, if you are seen taking a doctor's appointment in the middle of the day, you will be questioned.

And that is fucked.
