Career Guideliness:
1.) Be shady and non-transparent with customers
2.) Get accolades for sales
3.) Get promoted to assistant store manager, make less than you did as a shady rep and get worse shifts/more responsibility
4.) Convince yourself that being a retail cell phone and dying subscription television service sales manager in a dead shopping plaza is something that anyone would have said they wanted to be “when they grew up” and that you are a legitimate businessman with a posh operation.
5.) Gloat about your pay (sub 100K/year lol).
6.) Actually make about the same as you did as a rep with more hours, worse hours and salary, be on-call or be seen as non-commited. Develop a need for anxiety meds and laxatives.
7.) Get continually passed up on ARSM positions because you don’t make for a good diversity story
8.) Eventually become ARSM (maybe) or love laterally through the various channels
9.) Hit ceiling for most part
10.) 15 years later, look back on a life lived of half truths and a-- kissing
11.) Congrats?
