Even after years in this industry, I still have moments where I wonder if I’m truly qualified to lead the room. Nobody talks enough about imposter syndrome in retail and hospitality, especially when you’ve worked your way up from the floor. Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong in the role you earned? How did you push through it?

I once had a role of sales floor manager and I quit it after a month and went to my old role because it felt like I did not belong to the role. It was mainly because of the workload and expectations.

Every once in a while. It's usually when we've got a DM or GM in town and I get face time with them. They have a way of making me feel inferior and insecure, which is foolish because I know I'm good at my job. Luckily I have a terrible memory and tend to forget about those feelings immediately. You should too. Trust me, in this market, you would not have your job if you weren't good at it.

I feel this way now lowkey. Even though yes I did the hard work to get here and im only 25....compared to others in my position who've been with the company longer I have doubts if i even wanna be working there anymore

It's easy to feel overwhelmed. Long ago, I realised that upper management has to justify their job, and if they couldn't find anything wrong with your store, they wouldn't be needed.

But they (most likely) hired you. They believe in you. THEY know you can do the job. So, you just have to ignore the nagging voices, both internal and external, and remember why you are there in the first place.

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
