I started where many of those posts come from. Long shifts, small pay, big doubts. I spent years in retail and hospitality wondering if growth was even real or just a buzzword managers used. What changed wasn’t luck. It was noticing gaps, training new hires, fixing small problems before anyone asked. One day I wasn’t just working the floor, I was leading it. Growth didn’t arrive loud. It showed up quietly, shift by shift, until I finally believed I was worth more.

This is a great way to move your way up the career path! It is definitely important to notice gaps and help fill them. Thank you for sharing this.

Believing in yourself really makes a difference!

Indeed! Most of the time, you grow and ease into a position and more responsibility. It’s not handed to you, you work hard for it!

Love this! Growth really does come from the small, consistent efforts, not just luck or buzzwords.

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
