It was once an idea that if you got into retail sales, you could work your way to rasises, bonuses, and promotions that would make you a considerable amount of money, as well as being able to stay a while at the job. Now? The pay sucks, the work is nowhere carries no glamour or bonuses, and anybody who can last more than a year or two is in danger of being laid off.
Are there any other jobs that went in that route? What are your experiences?
I wanted a union because of the shit that happened in the marketing companies I worked at, but nobody else i worked with cared. They either went on to “better” tech jobs at the bigger companies, or dropped out and became farmers, printers or cooks. Or a few got lucky as stay at home moms or dads.
