I think it’s important to note that this woman is not a young girl. She is now 32. I’m very pro choice but we are deceiving ourselves in saying she didn’t have options. This was not her only option. And now there’s a child who will suffer for the rest of it’s life.

I can say this because I had the right to choose the candidate that I felt would serve me best. I voted for Hillary because she is more moderate than Bernie and that was what I am comfortable with. I own a small business and his aggressive tax plan and many of his other policies would have an extremely detrimental…

This is godawful. I can’t believe hypnosis is that powerful. Side note- I have a hypnosis appointment to try and stop smoking. I’ve been a little skeptical about whether or not it would be effective and now I think it could be. Wonder if anyone here has experience with that.

I’m a small business owner and the tax plan was threatening to me. I think he is a wonderful champion for people but his plans were too aggressive in my mind.

This. I voted enthusiastically for Hillary but I was really stuck on what to do if Bernie was our candidate. I like him and his passion, but felt his ideas were way to aggressive to be successful or good for the economy. Great in theory but very nerve racking.

Oh so true. That’s a whole different story in itself. You are not a boss, a #girlboss or a CEO if you work at your kitchen table 20 minutes a day in your PJs. Not putting down whatcha doing. You do you. But you aren’t a boss. A boss has to be a boss of some one.

Her harassers? Did you read her rant? Sounds very, very much like she was doing the harassing. Their comment was inappropriate but the vitriol that came out of her mouth in response was jaw dropping. We’re all worked up but you have got to temper yourself in the workplace.

Wow. You sound like someone intent on making the workplace extremely uncomfortable and you are lucky you were only sent home. I spent all of yesterday biting my tongue because there is a time and a place for political outrage and the workplace is not it. If a Trump supporter came into the workplace and ran at the…

Agreed. I’ll give everyone a week of despair but after that it isn’t helping. This is our new reality. We can still vocalize what we want and need in a way that’s productive. I honestly can’t handle one more Facebook lament of the end of days.

I am so tired of the Girlboss term. As a business owner myself I hate to be described that way. First of all we are women, and second of all I’d like to be a boss without the added descriptor. I know some women business owners wear it as a badge of honor but I do not.

I honestly feel like he told his audience what they wanted to hear but he gives zero fucks about it and won’t prioritize it. I’m cautiously optimistic that we don’t need to get too frightened over it.

Card carrying democrat who voted for Hillary here. I do want to make something clear. Obama did not completely crush small business, but he certainly did nothing to help it. And there was more to come with Hillary. As a business owner it wasn’t enough to sway me from voting for her, but it sure made me take pause. If…

I’m curious when you say “lose business” what you do? Do you own a business? Why do you feel the economy is going to tank?

Couldn’t agree more.

You make some good points. I’m a registered Democrat and I voted for Hillary. I feel strongly about social issues and that is why. I felt that was my obligation.

Then OMG don’t shop there.

So, if someone isn’t comfortable smiling and making pleasantries in a customer service job, they should be given a pass? They should be exempt? An employer is being unfair by expecting them to do that?

Literally I don’t know why you bother. Your reasonable expectation of a pleasant customer service representative is not welcome here. There is a community of people here who think that you should be rewarded for minimal to no effort and there should be no expectation of elevated performance at a job. And those same…

Agreed but I was kind of disgusted that she let it all play out reality TV style. I lost a little respect for her on that. I’m glad she finally left him.

She needs to let her face relax. I bet she would look completely different. She’s trying to hard to look sexy and it’s overkill.
