I worked retail all my life. I was so embarrassed. I swore that once I get “a real job” (read: Corporate) I would love it and it would be so much more respected.

Been working Corporate for 20yrs now and I hate it. Soul sucking, dream crushing, energy draining. At least with retail I’d get a little discount. Now all I get is an occasional pizza party 😭😭😭

LOL, I worked corporate for 20 and went into retail for the first time. Loving it, except for the pay. I work hard, and it's noticed, keep getting better and better opportunities.

Do you at least get better pay?
