Christmas Eve was wild today. I spent the whole day bouncing between stressed out customers, packed lines, and nonstop questions from people who waited until the last possible minute. It felt chaotic from open to close, but once it was over there was this quiet relief like we actually made it through. Hope everyone had a decent day and gets some rest now. Anyone else feel that moment when you finally clock out and think we survived another season?

It wasn’t as crazy as I thought it was going to be for me. I remember going to a Target on Christmas Eve a few years ago and it was one of the most crowded days I’ve seen!

Merry Christmas! Hope the day was good!

Christmas eve shoppers are a nightmare. Even worse than black Friday shoppers. I was so, so happy when we locked the doors at the end of our shift. People, this whole Christmas thing happens EVERY year. Sort yourselves out and plan better 😂

They are the worse for real! Merry Christmas!

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a reporter with more than 32 years of experience and I feel that, lately, local television news has been kind of dead, but I am pleased to fight for it from my local newspaper. Locals love to see someone from their own town succeeding or finding out something inspiring.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.

Any thoughts on what to expect?

How will this look for my career development? Curious about the standard perception of Sales Executive from a seniority perspective. Where does this land on the sales roles hierarchy? For context, it’s a professional services firm, I’ve been there 3+years, and they gave a Sales Executive title to someone who just started 5mo ago.
