he was still the CEO and had (I thought) my career in his hands. He had always seemed popular and powerful in the industry, and I feared he could get me blackballed.
The experience left me with a great deal of doubt about my place in the industry and my skills, and left me dreading and avoiding professional events in case he would be there.
When Alexis left the company, he asked for reconciliation, stating that he 'didn't want to do anything out of hurt or spite'. I took this to be a threat against my person or my career, and decided to protect both by keeping quiet.
I'm speaking now to support all the other women who have been through similar, and much worse. This is not ok.

I was in a relationship with Alexis Kennedy for nearly two years. He was my line manager the entire time. It was kept a secret from the whole company, including the board.
During our relationship he cheated on me with people brought to company events, and who were wanting to work with the company. He broke up with me by messaging me that he'd cheated on me with a colleague (also his direct report) at the office Halloween party.
I had to request he stop being my line-manager afterwards, though even then he was my manager's manager, and CEO.

His attitude towards me and my work changed the moment I was no longer his partner.

"Did you ever sit down and plan your #career?"

If I ever did, it didn’t go to plan. I did well at school and university because I didn’t realise not doing well was an option. After university there was a moment - when you’re meant to use your degree to get a serious #job ...
with a big company - and I just didn’t. I did a masters in political philosophy, went to New York, moved to Paris, got a taste for not living in England and then moved to Berlin. I was doing odd jobs along the way to pay rent. I worked in shops selling bacon
sandwiches. I worked for a Royal silversmith in London. As a student I studied politics but worked as a classical singer for the BBC. Arriving in Berlin, I did English interviews for German publications and was writing, translating and working for magazines. I left Berlin

Alright fuckers, it's go time.
Let me just put a shout out to all the illiterates, the fucktards and the absolute morons who are completely poleaxed by the most recent episode and are presently screaming on Twitter that it makes no sense and 'Danaerys would never do this. Character ruined, etc.'

Leia 7 histórias de terror em inglês com apenas duas frases

Sabia que é possível você escrever um conto de terror com, no máximo, duas frases. É um desafio que muitos fóruns de ficção científica promovem, para despertar o nosso Edgar Alan Poe interior.
Apague a luz que é thread!
1 - “My daughter won’t stop crying and screaming in the middle of the night. I visit her grave and ask her to stop, but it doesn’t help”

- Minha filha não para de chorar e gritar no meio da noite. Eu visito o seu túmulo e peço pra ela parar, mas não adianta.
2 - “The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock at the door.”

- O último homem na Terra sentou-se solitariamente numa sala. Houve uma batida na porta.

Left-wingers who hijack the story of Christmas and turn it into a parable about immigration by describing Mary and Joseph as "migrants" are doing the same thing Xi Jinping does when he requires churches to include communist propaganda in their sermons.
Totalitarians require all stories to serve their political agenda. They can tolerate no source of authority that contradicts their edicts. They know propaganda must be pervasive in order to be effective. Their message must be inescapable.
The "War on Christmas" has always been about co-opting the last valuable piece of cultural real estate that is not suffused with left-wing messages. The crude caricature accuses the Left of wanting to "outlaw" Christmas, but the goal has always been subverting and diluting it.

Always level up your dress-code when traveling out-of-state via airplanes.
Countless conversations which lead to deals & opportunities are sparked in transit simply because “you look like someone on the way to do important”
Service industry subconscious treats you better too.
Never step foot in an airport without shining your shoes first.
Your shoes are what people see first as you approach
Shoes possess the superpower of subconsciously communicating how you feel about yourself
Ask any lady in your life who loves you, they will explain on my behalf.

Treat all who serve you like Gold. Remember their names. Thank them for serving you. Compliment them.
This is powerful in Las Vegas & will open Up doors to an entirely different experience during your stay.
