I unlock the store before sunrise, coffee in one hand, schedule in the other. By noon I am calming a guest, coaching a new hire, and jumping on the floor myself. Retail and hospitality teach you patience fast. Some days are chaos, some are magic. What keeps you showing up when it gets tough?

What keeps me showing up is the fact that I need to pay my bills, lol. Plus, I like my team, and there are definitely worse jobs I could be doing. But the main thing is the money.

My need to pay rent and buy groceries. I wish I had a more inspirational answer for you, but I'm not working for any reason other than I have to.

What keeps me showing up is knowing that I’ve been through worse, and this is just another hurdle to get over. Sometimes I take a day by day. I do my best to protect my energy and to not let negativity get to me. At the end of the day, when I’ve overcome something, I am always proud of myself. I have nothing to prove to anyone except myself.

Did you do the NIPT? I just had my first prenatal appt and they scheduled me for the NIPT at 10 weeks. I’m a little nervous and anxious. Did anyone get it and got a false positive? Do you not recommend it? I wish I could ask family but we’re not telling anyone until the 12 weeks mark.

Are we getting paid tomorrow since it’s a holiday weekend? I believe Juneteenth weekend we got paid on a Friday even though pay day was Tuesday

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Hi! How’s the growth in the tech department of the company? How are increments and bonuses?

Has anyone just taken a break from work without anything lined up? Every offer I’ve gotten wants me to start in a month and with 2 weeks notice that leaves me only 2 weeks to recharge. For my mental health I really think I need an extended break (like 3 months). I have about 60k liquid to sustain myself and pay about $1500 a month in rent.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
