Banana Republic.
She cut her losses.
Folks full bore into capitalism know that sometimes you have to do that to move ahead. Her magazine people were bright. They worked well without her. When she returned to work there it was ~ even better, and she was much more relaxed than she would have been.
Freepers here advised her to "take it like a man and get it overwith" and she did. Ain't no thang.
Your two word post hit me days later like a ton of bricks. When did this happen?
