It may not be safe for you to leave because you might be punished. But it might be safe for you to agree with what everybody's saying and go along with it and that will keep your job safe and potentially line up a promotion.” – Sara Slattery And let's not forget the powerful exploration of personal fulfillment, especially for women juggling myriad responsibilities.
