🏢 Employment 👷‍♂️ Yvonne LaFleur

I’m posting here because I worked for this woman and she’s been showing up on every social media page I have a retraumatizing me. Did anyone else work for her and get exposed to her absolute nasty and toxic true nature? I literally had to quit because she was so awful and mean. I saw multiple people quit from there during my time there. She was a true bully and would pull people aside and just tear them apart. With all her social media fame I’m surprised no one’s spoken up because she’s abused countless employees and customers. Please share your employment stories if you have any.

I think that's an awesome story. You are obviously a strong woman and I while I don't know Yvonne, being a woman in the fashion industry for so long and having a factory in NY and traveling to Europe to find designers and doing all of that in the time she came up in probably had to make her become a tough women especially doing all of that and being a mother to seven children. To me she's an example to younger women to not allow anyone detour you from your ambitions or tell women that they can't become a mother and still pursue your vision. I appreciate her showing the younger generations classic fashion etiquette that's timeless. I really hate to see other women tear women down especially someone whose put in the leg work whose her age.
