She knows what her next step will be but but NOW while she is still a QVC employee is NOT the time to disclose or discuss anything about her future. As for the GILI line, well big duhhhhhh to that. LR said a million times that she does not own the GILI. It's QVC line and even if QVC wanted to discontinue it, they could not. There millions of dollars of product and factory oders in the pipeline. Plus, it's a successful line. So, it will be continued at least for a while. People leave jobs all the time, it's not exactly uncommon. I love LR and I look forward to seeing what she does next and I'm willing to wait to see how it unfolds. I think a lot of professional women can relate to working hard, becoming a huge success, reaping the financial rewards of that success but doing so at the expense of everything else. Your work consumes you. I had a job like that once, I loved that job. I was making boodles of money, the work was important, I was respected in the industry but between the job and my family; I was sleeping 5 hours of night if I was lucky and I never had even a moment for myself. I was younger than LR and it dawned on me that I needed a change....I remember the exact moment. We were on vacation in Hawaii, my husband and the girls and my mom. I was sitting on that gorgeous beach in that heavenly weather in a chaise lounge.....with a pile of professional manuals.....rewriting a training manual. I'd found a day tour for my family. Not to have fun, I wanted them away so I could work in peace. That was my epiphany moment.
Chrystal, that sounds just like what the DH went through. Money was great and with our combined income we wanted for nothing, but we were miserable. He was working 6-7 days a week. When we were together I still felt like I was "solo-ing it" because he was always grumpy, exhausted, and work was always on his mind.
4 weeks ago a series of things pushed his plans to resign up by a few years, but now I can say that this unplanned resignation was the best thing for him and us.
He just started a part time job and is very excited and happy about it. This a huge adjustment but in the end this change will be for the best.
When your life becomes the job, something must change or it will eventually break.
