Never Let A Toxic Boss Run Your Life

Summary

I applied for the $1,500 client hospitality budget three separate times.

The first two times, Brenda, the Head of Administration, kicked it back citing "tightening fiscal constraints."

For the third attempt, I went overboard. I attached the project prospectus, the formal letter of intent from the client, the guest list of their C-suite executives, and a granular breakdown of every anticipated expense. I made it impossible to misunderstand the stakes.

Finally, the notification popped up on my screen. Brenda had approved it.

Approved Amount: $15.00.
