????桑迪?雷納與萊納德?博薩克

????1984年，桑迪?雷納與前夫萊納德?博薩克共同創立了科技巨頭思科公司。不過就在二人設計出突破性的重大發明，也就是能夠連結計算機網絡的路由器之后，雷納卻于1990年被公司的董事會開除了，此時她已經在公司辛苦經營了六年。同年，思科正式上市。博薩卡也與桑迪一起辭職了，但此事帶來的情感傷害顯然已經鑄成。后來這對夫妻也宣告離婚。

????當事人說：在2013年的一次演講中，雷納向在座的女性建議道：“你不是公司，公司也不是你。”在思科的經歷“毀掉了我的婚姻，損害了我的健康。我在感情上已經成了一個空心人。”

????結局：他們離開公司后，雷納與博薩克以1.7億美元賣掉了他們的三分之二的公司股份。后來雷納創立了一個名叫Urban Decay的美甲品牌，后來她將公司賣給路易威登集團。目前該公司為歐萊雅所有。萊納德據說已經退休了。

????Sandy Lerner and Leonard Bosack

????Sandy Lerner co-founded technology giant Cisco Systems in 1984 with her then-husband Leonard Bosack. After the two designed their breakthrough invention — a router that connects computer networks — and spent six years building the company, Lerner was fired by its board of directors in 1990, the same year Cisco went public. Bosack resigned alongside her, but the emotional damage, apparently, had been done. The couple later divorced.

????Telling quote:In a 2013 speech, Lerner advised the women in the audience, "You are not the company, and the company is not you.” Her experience with Cisco "broke up my marriage and broke up my health. I was an emotional basket case."

????Upshot:When they left the company, Lerner and Bosack sold their two-thirds stake for $170 million. Lerner went on to create the nail polish brand Urban Decay, which she then sold to LVMH LVMUY . It is now owned by L'Oreal LRLCY . Leonard is reportedly retired.
