I worked at this store for a little over 3 years, and one of the wildest parts was watching some of the regulars’ babies literally grow up in front of me.
Like, I remember one mom coming in with a newborn in a carrier and by the time I left, that same kid was walking, talking, and helping her pick stuff out.
When you stay in one place long enough, you really do start to feel like a tiny part of people’s everyday lives.

Anyone else ever had that weird little full-circle moment at work?

I have EMPLOYED people who first came into my store as babies. And I have changed careers, and run into people in my new career, and we have that "where do I know you from?" moment, until I mention where I worked. Only downside is, too many of them talk about how I caught them shoplifting ;)

That’s such a wild full-circle moment! Watching those little ones grow up while you switch careers is amazing

I actually got emotional leaving a job because of that. Not just the customers, but the people I worked with. I sat with coworkers through tough times, amazing times, everything in between. I had regular customers that I was genuinely happy to see and make a little small talk with. Those little moments make up a lot of life.

Leaving a job isn’t just about the work, it’s the people you connect with, the ups and downs you share, and those little moments. :)

Absolutely! The longer you work at the same place, the more you see the same people again and again.

Exactly! It’s like a little community forming, familiar faces, stories that pick up where they left off.

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?

Just got a job offer with CVS. To say the least I’m super excited to work for an Fortune 5 company. However, the job offer 1k less than my current company, but I thought this will be boost my growth and experience. Was my choices a smart move? Has anyone took a job that the pay was less than your current company ? Also, any insight with CVS and how I can advance my career there will be greatly appreciate.

He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
