SunLife, Financial

In 2013 I was working at distility along with my then boyfriend, husband, Alex Banman, who I’m divorced from later. One day we had a conference at sun life financial. It was really successful. I recorded the meeting notes in my notebook. And I went to get coffee for the business owners, coworkers and clients who were flying from England. Later Alex Banman became really jealous of my talents and contributions at the company. He pushed me grabbing the sweater I was wearing by the collar in the public in the MaRS discovery district building. Years later after we already broke up and divorced, I mentioned to him he could try applying jobs at sun life financial. I got a feeling he could get it. But he didn’t. It was very disappointing to me. I thought we could be friends. And all he could feel was jealousy. Etc.
