When I first faced this drawn-out challenge with my employer, I was overwhelmed and exhausted. Like many men, I’d spent years just absorbing pressure, keeping things in, and convincing myself that asking for help was a weakness. But reaching out to Margin Leaders turned out to be the most strategic move I could have made. From the start, they helped me reset what I’d been accepting for far too long. Their support gave me the clarity to see what was unacceptable, and the strength to stand up for myself. I began to take myself more seriously, and so did my employer. Having someone in my corner meant I didn’t have to carry the emotional weight alone. Each letter, each meeting, each decision became less about survival and more about reclaiming my dignity. Rather than defensively responding whilst stressed, I started responding with confidence. Margin Leaders is like a team around me - the kind of strategic support you’d expect the big players in business to have. They didn’t just help me stay in the fight; they helped me fight well. To be fair, I’m proud of how far I’ve come, and I know I wouldn’t have made it through without them. They gave me more than guidance - they gave me back my self-respect.
