Saw the not a follower post. Are you a natural-born leader? Because I think I might be a follower who somehow ended up in this role.

I'd be happy as a follower, if followers were compensated as well. Unfortunately, the world treats followers as lacking ambition, not achieving greatness as leaders do. But we wouldn't be where we are without people who follow and execute flawlessly. Thankfully I am also adept as a leader and sometimes, even enjoy it.

I feel this way a bit at times. I’ve reached the level I am mainly due to technical proficiency and results related to my individual/solo work.
I don’t enjoy, and don’t think I’m particularly good at, leading others, mentoring, teaching and yet I find myself having to do more and more of that.

I definitely am. I have always been very strong-willed and bull headed so to speak so I was never one to follow others. I kind of always paved my own path and set the bar for myself really high.

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?

I’m not naive or fresh out of law school, but I’m at a point where I’m saying to myself “Why can’t I have it all?” I’ve been offered a job for more pay and less hours and I keep thinking to myself, what’s the catch? I know people will say no promotion potential or that’s not how it works…but what if it could? What if you make yourself valuable by still setting your boundaries? Why would we resent someone who has that opportunity?
