Black women made the career switch from corporate America to entrepreneurship during Covid-19. While it appears entrepreneurship was deemed a necessity, Black women were the largest group of new business owners closely followed by Latina women. These businesses have high growth potential but why is access to finding still a barrier?

I’m just not sure this is the right bowl?
(Contd) may have had the wrong resident’s name on the check.” She got frustrated when I told her my supervisor was out of the office and that her situation would need to be escalated to our Director. I emailed my Director about this and she said “can you check on this and please call the leasing office? This is the check you emailed about where it may have had the wrong resident’s name on the check.” I was surprised and baffled that she asked me to do this when SHE is the one who sends all of the checks in the mail to our clients!! I was even more aggravated because this is something that my Supervisor should have been taking care of but OF COURSE, she was nowhere to be found!! I feel very OVERWHELMED, OVERWORKED, and UNDERPAID!!! I thought that this was going to be less stressful job that is remote with a work/life balance–but instead, it is the OPPOSITE!! My supervisor has an excuse as to why she constantly cannot attend events and this is a pattern that I have noticed with her for the past 6 and a half months I have been working at this job!!! We were actually sponsoring the last event my job held. I thought that my supervisor was going to be attending the event and assisting with Checking people in and working at the table that my Director had setup. WRONG. I already was not feeling that great when she texted me & said "im just checking to see if you will be there to help the Director tonight. I completely forgot i took PTO to be w/my family that came in on Friday. They leave tonight. The Director said she will be okay as long as you are there." Um wtf?! I just feel like she is just taking advantage of me at this point. She made it sound as though she was going to be at the event a few days ago & NEVER mentioned anything about taking PTO & having family in town. I told her I wasnt feeling well & that I may need tl leave early because im not feeling that well. Its ONLY 3 OF US ALTOGETHER. We dont have any other staff members to help. This is not the first time my supervisor has pulled this crap either. If she does not feel like going to an event, then she will say "are you gonna go to the event?" In front of my Director or tell me "I think this will be a great event for you to go to" just so she won't have to go. I know I was told that there would be events to go to when I first started my job, but this is starting to be extreme now. Yesterday, my Director asked, “are either of you able to help out? I plan on being there.” There was no response from my supervisor because she is out of the state right now (I had no idea she was going to be out of the state for the next few days because she never told me!) The funny thing is I looked on the calendar for next week and my Supervisor ALREADY has an out of state event planned with her family on the EXACT SAME DAY we are supposed to have our event next Saturday!! (I doubt if that is a COINCIDENCE) People will say “You should be bothered by this because that is her business if she is out of the office and it should not affect you”--WRONG!! It actually does because anything that she is not available to do (ESPECIALLY REGARDING HER CLIENTS) falls back on me just like it did today!! Also, we have NO STAFF so I feel very pressured to attend all of these events, meetings, and conferences especially if my supervisor does not respond to an email the director sent out about it or does not "feel" like going. I'm so tired of working in toxic ass work environments and being constantly lied to on these crappy jobs. My supervisor me I would be "the gatekeeper" in the beginning and that she would be in the "field." This is supposed to be a REMOTE job. Sounds like a bunch of lies and bs to me. How would you handle this? Because at this point everything is just out of control and I feel like I am being used and abused. My mom suggested for me to send an email to my supervisor that says “I am forwarding the work or issues I have to you because I am not familiar with this line of work. I am beginning to feel overwhelmed with questions and issues I do not have knowledge of.” PLEASE HELP!!!! I NEED SOME HELPFUL FEEDBACK AND ADVICE—Hold off on the snarky, nasty comments for once!!
@CreativeDirector-i understand where you are coming from, but I think its deeper than that. She expressed to me a few months ago how she was burnt out from going to events from last year. Also, just as I suspected--she said she wont be available to help with the event my Director asked either she or myself to attend next Saturday because she said she has birthday plans for her son's birthday. Ive been attending EVERY EVENT we have had so far and she has skipped out on at least 2 or 3 since I started working here in February.
Trust me--I have been applying for jobs every chance I get. Im trying my hardest to get out of this toxic place. Its very overwhelming dealing with someone toxic like her.
