At the moment I explain to my clients that after the pandemic there was an increase in prices in all areas, so the supplies have increased in price and that unfortunately it is a chain where the prices have increased.

Unfortunately product costs are up right now. I manage an entertainment center and costs of certain items are up 300%. Whenever I have a customer complain I simply state that like them, we are effected by inflation too. Try to make up for it in customer service, that is all we can do.

How does one most effectively make the transition into management from an Individual Contributor?

I've been an individual contributor for 4 years in Tech, have 8 years of experience total. I'm finding it difficult to make the management transition despite having management experience, performing beyond expectations, and having a genuine passion for enablement and development.

I'd appreciate any success stories or pointers you can offer in regards to this transition.

If there is a case that we have to quarantine again. Do you all think it is possible for store associates to work remotely? If so, what are some ways this could work?

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
