Honestly, that's one of the reasons I left retail when I did. I loved my job, but it seemed like I became the de facto manager without the manager pay. The manager would give me such glowing praise and kudos when really all I wanted was money.

Totally get that. Praise is nice but it doesn’t pay rent🙄
Yuuuuuuup I feel this to my core lol. I'm expected to do a million different jobs even though I'm only getting paid for one. And it's not because I'm some genius, super dedicated employee, there just literally is no one else who I can count on to get things done other than myself.

Being the go to person sounds great until you realize it just means more work for the same pay!
Don't blink.Never give in. And try not to implode.
Chief
Appreciate the reminder. Staying strong with you
I don't know why this is viewed as such a bad thing. I mean, sure... it would be great to be compensated for it, but it's a huge compliment to have coworkers and supervisors naturally gravitate toward you. I love being known as the reliable one, and not because I'm paid to be.
Chief
That’s a great perspective. Being dependable is a strength but yeah recognition and fair oay should go hand in hand.
Oh, I can definitely relate. My manager used to have me act as a team lead or shadow new hires all the time, saying it would look good on my résumé. Honestly, it just felt like extra work without any extra pay.
Chief
That’s so frustrating! They always seem to “promote” you without the pay or title. Hope you get the credit you deserve soon. 🌟
