What is the one profitable thing you learned in your career? I would say one valuable thing I learned while working in retail is teamwork and problem solving. Retail work often requires quick thinking to resolve unexpected situations and address customer complaints.

People skills and time management. I'm naturally introverted and working retail has forced me to get out of that shell and learn how to effectively communicate, both with my coworkers and with customers. Time management is another huge skill it's helped me develop. I have a lot on my plate every single day and have had to learn to be a great planner to get it all done, which has been very helpful in all walks of life, not just work.

Time management especially when working independently and critical thinking. A lot of the time it takes a little digging for me to find the answer and think outside the box.

I learned, and I know this isn’t very positive in the grand scheme of things, but I’ve learned you can’t trust anyone. Even if you think you’ve made a true friend at work, they will toss you under the bus if the right opportunity comes along.

HR opinion: Do I have any leverage as a hospital nurse case manager in negotiating earned time?

Now HR is restarting my ET as a new employee. I realize I left, but not on bad terms and I am an exemplar and respected employee. I thought I’d have the upper hand with the nursing shortage but I’m getting the “rules are rules” response. Help!?!
