Career Horror Stories with SheSays ATX

Join us as our speakers reveal some of their weirdest professional horror stories. Why? Because as Jon Maxwell cleverly stated, “Some days you win, some days you learn.”

When we look at successful professionals, we often focus on major wins but behind every win there are countless failures. From management ‘DON’T’s to ‘REPLY-ALL’s from hell, three accomplished tech startup professionals will have an honest conversation about how to better manage your career, deal with difficult colleagues, and more.
