Boss refused to give me time off for my daughter's surgery when I begged. He yelled, Your personal problems are not my concern. I quietly resigned the next day, two weeks later. He called me desperate, saying, Please come back. The clients are leaving. I laughed and said, Oh, you have no idea what's coming. I never thought I'd be the type of person to quit a job without warning.

I used to be the kind of employee who would power through anything. Illness, long hours, even missed family events, because I knew my work was important. But then something happened. Something that made me realize how little some people care about you. How easily they can brush you aside when you're just another number on their payroll.
And I reached a point where I knew I couldn't keep pretending that things were okay. It all started with my daughter, Sophia. She was born with a heart condition, one that required multiple surgeries over the years. This particular surgery was going to be one of the big ones, the one that would either give her a fighting chance or leave us with an uncertain future.
Her doctors had been monitoring her for months and the date had finally arrived. It wasn't just another checkup, it was a serious procedure and she needed someone there with her afterward. Someone she trusted. Someone like me, her mother. I work in a small marketing agency in Greenwood, a quiet town in the Midwest.....
