If jobs gave out awards, I’d 100% win “Most Likely to Keep Smiling While Silently Screaming Inside.” There’s always that one customer who tests your patience to Olympic levels, but you still manage the “of course, no problem!” voice like a pro. Some days it feels like we all deserve Oscars for holding it together when everything’s falling apart behind the scenes.

If your job handed out awards, what would yours be?

Lol, you're so right! My award would be "pretending to laugh at someone saying something is free when it doesn't ring up the first time." I have no idea why people keep saying that same joke over and over again, they must know we've all heard it 1 million times!

Haha that fake laugh deserves an Oscar at this point 😂 we’ve all mastered it.

I will get an award called “Octopus Award”… I’m busy everyday. I hope that I have 8 hands to do my task🥲

That’s so real! Some days I swear I need at least three extra arms just to keep up!

If they ever start giving out Oscars for Best Roll of the Eyes I've got a lock on it. And it's because I've got plenty of experience. After a while it's a choice between silently screaming inside or just rolling my eyes, so my eyes get a good workout.

LMAO the silent scream is a daily ritual at this point 😭 you’ve perfected the art!

Mine would be “Fastest at Smiling Through Chaos.” Some days I feel like my face is doing all the work while my brain is running laps. Seriously, we should all get trophies just for surviving the day.

No I would've folded right there.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

Hi how much does a florist get paid per hour? Thanks

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
