re: Question for managers and bosses of OT

I worked for a major retailer for 25 years, most of which were in supervisory/management. Do yourself a favor before you are too far in....make a path out of retail. I went back to school at age 41 as a result of hitting the retail "wall".

You can make a decent living after many years, but the ceiling is pretty low for most employees...salaried management included. The store/general managers make 6 figures, but the assistants cap out in the low 70's. If you are willing to relocate, chances are you can move up quickly, but very few get out what they put in....it's usually much less.

Never be seen as the guy who doesn't respect the managers. Always be a team player. If you don't like the way things age going, remember...there are right ways and places to handle your issues. Once you are on the wrong side, forget about going anywhere with the company.
