Things are that bad in this business ?
A few of you may know that story, how a guy took my old job so I just
went and took his. No hard feelings, business is business, plus we collectively are saving about 50 miles of driving per workday. Now I get a phone call from the old boss, he is quitting. Now we are talking about 35 hours a week at $25 per hour. I had to ask what great carreer choices this guy made, c'mon, he makes almost twice as much as some engineers. I got my answer, he is going to go be the manager of a hardware store. Now I got nothing against hardware store managers, but how many of them make fifty grand a year ? I just don't know. JURB |

Store managers often work 60 hour weeks. |

Store managers often work 60 hour weeks. Sometimes it is better to settle for something less stressfull. |

I worked as an assistant manager once at a retail store and it was quite stressful and unfufilling. I never felt like I accomplished anything. |
