I was working as an advertising copywriter for a Montreal radio station when I took my very first ballroom dance class. Back then, I never would have believed that I would one day be teaching ballroom myself, but life is full of surprises! Just four years after my first class as a student, I was offered a position to teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What I liked about working for the dance studio<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There was a lot that I liked about working for the dance studio that hired me. First, they offered me ongoing training. Second, I developed good friendships with some of the other teachers. But what I enjoyed most was sharing my love of dance with students who were equally excited about learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The deal breaker that made me quit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite everything I liked about working for the studio, there were a couple of drawbacks. For one, I was not paid well. At times I was even expected to do some administration work for free. However, because I loved the training and the teaching so much, I was willing to overlook this. The deal breaker, for me, was that I often felt that the owners treated me with disrespect. After three years of working for them, I couldn&#8217;t tolerate it anymore. The deal breaker was the disrespect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What would be a deal breaker for you at work?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever quit a job, said &#8220;no&#8221; to a job offer, or fired an employee?
