Meenal Goel, a chartered accountant based in Bengaluru, shared her experience of workplace harassment in a LinkedIn post that resonated widely. For six months, she faced relentless criticism from her boss, who claimed her work was 'subpar' despite her putting in 14-hour days and working on weekends. This constant barrage of negative feedback led her to doubt her abilities and ultimately quit her job. Upon leaving, she discovered that her boss's true intention was to force her resignation so that a friend could take her position. Instead of returning to the corporate world, Meenal took charge of her career by establishing her own business, which is now valued at ₹1 crore (approximately $120,000 USD). Her journey illustrates the power of resilience and the ability to turn adversity into opportunity, as she now embraces her independence and success.
