I was recently let go after a year and a half as EA to the President and COO. They said I lacked interpersonal skills—I often kept to myself due to anxiety/bullying. The co. was family owned, and the president’s daughter disliked my role and improvements, making life miserable. Reporting to her dad left me stuck, and despite HR meetings, the bullying never stopped. I’m relieved to be out, but now struggling with imposter syndrome. Has anyone else faced similar nepotism—and how did you handle it?
