There's a lot of passion and a lot of wisdom in this. I loved reading it, but it also made me uncomfortable, and I mean that as a compliment. One that stays with the reader.

Wonderful, Jane! How I wish I'd had the guts to do that to some of my old bosses, with the support of that mischief-making spirit. A really enjoyable read.
