Current Events > One thing i notice in all my retail jobs...

(+) Yeah! (+)

All the bosses/supervisors get paid way more yet somehow seem more miserable than the lowers.

At that point they are not stressed about money but the amount of time they spend at work and maybe an impossible workload they have.

It might be that folks who are just wired that way find their way into those positions. The person I'm thinking of is just super high strung in all their social situations too, its never related to how stressed about something they should be. They just come in hot all the time, and feel like everything is supposed to always be on the edge (or pushed over the edge) or it just isn't right. They've got to be fixing a disaster, or narrowly avoiding an imminent disaster, all the time and they can't just let things be fine if they are fine.

Been at Costco for 15 years and i can confirm this is true.

Ive seen managers quit on the spot, break down and cry in front of me due to stress, go outside and drink hard alcohol, many go on stress leave, one was babbling incoherently on a walkie talkie because of the stress, etc. Our managers get texted by the boss on their days off, vacations etc to go and do this or that or plan this or that.

Ive been asked several times if im interested in management. Oh hell to the fuck no. Even for double the money i wouldnt do it, i value my mental health too much.
