Years, A Moment ago, I remember stressing, what I would never ever do…
I worked with a young acquaintance who came in to work one Monday morning, met with management, turned in her keys and quit.I recall saying to our other colleagues nothing or no-one would never ever make me quit…Yes, she had a sexual relationship with one of the members of the said management team and he was making the work environment a living hell, toxic, demoralizing, threatening and unbearable to say the least, after she broke it off…
He would drive by her home where she lived with her daughter and yes she got all of the orders pertinent to protecting her peace but to no avail. (Took off many days in the court system).
She came in one Monday morning, Quit, rented out her house and moved to another state. (Forfeited her benefits and final paycheck)
Yes I was one of the naysayer in my ignorance I had a lot to say why she should not have resigned.
I continue to work at said job.. and I began to fell my share of harassment, It was a Misogynistic work environment.
It was unbelievable, unbelievable… I was working in a toxic, demeaning woman hating environment.I remember getting soooooo sick… The headaches, heart palpitation… Everyday when it was time to go to work.. I would sweat profusely. Anxiety took over.
Every other week I was going to the doctor and being given pills for one diagnosis or another.
I remember thinking, I was tooooo young to die. I did not want to die. I visited several doctors and was told take a leave of absence and rest if I valued my life…
When I sent in my doctor papers… I was ORDERED to come to work since this was a critical time for the company. If I didn’t, I was ordered to resign or I would be fired. Yes… Fired… I remember calling my husband at work, discussing the matter and we decided, my health and well being was most supreme and paramount.
That said day… My husband came to the house, collected their keys and my resignation letter….
It was the best decision for my health, my family, my relationship my environment… my overall everything that I made.
None of us…. None of you… yes you…. The judgers, want to live, work, participate in a toxic, threatening, cut throat environment… whether private or political..

Anthony Smith, Jr. Is a son of the soil. I DO NOT KNOW HIM.. I HAVE NEVER EVER met him.. But he could be my son. Yes I do have a son in a leadership position and I am proud and would be proud if he stood up and did something… Anything that put a radiant smile on his face as I saw today.
This is a young man with a family… a young family.. can you imagine what strain this was in that household???… just knowing he was suffering.
.Instead of bashing him and berating him.. Lets lift him up in prayers. Let us recognize that if he was your son, brother, uncle cousin and you realize the tip of the iceberg he was living/working in you would want him to be INDEPENDENT and VOID of the cancer that he has left behind.Sometimes it takes a divorce or a lost of a limb to realize that the unhealthy horse manure that you have been accepting day after day, once its released.. there is a better lightning system and sigh of relief that some may not understand but you’ll sleep better, become more productive and self reliant…
Proud of you ANTHONY SMITH JR. Do whats best for your constituents and your country…
