Oh God. I used to work with someone like Becca. Unfortunately she was my boss so there was nowhere to run!😕

Sometimes patience has to be let go of. Some people don’t deserve the patience Jessica showed. I might have done the same thing and I’m mostly a patient person 😉 . Thanks for contributing Jeanne
