When I was watching “9 to 5”, all my memories of working a corporate job flooded back. It stirred up all kinds of feelings—mostly painful, because I don’t think I’m cut out for the 9-to-5 life. Don’t get me wrong, I will always cherish the moments when my colleagues stepped up for me or gave me moral and practical support when times were tough. We went through the highs and lows of our careers together and stuck by each other despite occasional squabbles. They’ve seen my tears, and they even watched me laugh so hard that I literally fell off my wobbly office chair once.
I always try to remember only the good things and block out the sad memories, but while watching the movie, I had a flashback to a rather unpleasant interaction with my boss that prompted me to hand in my resignation letter and leave. At one point, I held two positions and had a substantial workload. Sometimes, I felt torn between my responsibilities, desperately trying to catch up as I juggled two separate jobs. I still don’t know how I got roped into that. Sometimes I was given deadlines I couldn’t meet, no matter how hard I tried. I was constantly bombarded with requests and questions I didn’t have time to answer, even if I had worked 24/7. I felt like I was about to crack under the pressure.
Even now, a few years later, I still remember how overwhelmed and confused I was, and it makes my skin crawl. Not to be a total martyr, I did share some of my responsibilities with a coworker and asked if she could take on one of my projects. She refused and said that if I couldn’t do my job, it wasn’t her problem. Fair enough. I decided to take it up with my boss, but he neither provided a solution nor acknowledged that I was being stretched too thin. That was the last straw—10 minutes later, I poked my head into his office again to hand in my notice.
-Judy. Ok, we’re on the 12th floor. Above us is the executive suite where the president is and the chairman of the board. Come on, -12.
-It sounds so big.
- It is. I’ve been here 12 years, I’ve never seen the chairman of the board.
-12 years? All I’ve done is be a housewife. I wanted to ask you about my salary. I don’t think I …
-That’s a very touchy subject around here. You’ll have to take it up with our boss, Mr. Hart.
-I’m sorry. It’s all so new.
-Don’t worry. You’ll get the hang of it. Then you’ll be really sorry. Come on. Well, welcome to the frontlines.

But I said, “Don’t you think, Steve, that she could take it up with her coach?” If you don’t want to swim, take it up with your coach”. She comes come the next day, and she said, “Coach Jason says I’m in. A hundred yards breaststroke. I’m doing it.
