You are ambitious, hard working, and intelligent..... Get the hell out of here when you can!
My (former) Overnight Manager, told me this about 7 months ago.
He disappeared shortly after telling me that.
7 months later, after everything that's been happening, i took his advice.
I walked-out today.
Best advice i've ever gotten, sadly it was 9 years overdue.
amen
It is what it is and not what it was. Lol
Years ago, I walked into a random Subway, somewhere, and ordered some random sandwich. I asked for onions, olives, and yellow peppers on it. The energetic “sandwich artist” (their term, not mine) shook his head.
“No, no,” he said, with a friendly sincerity, “that’s not a good combination for this sandwich. You should go with olives, yes, but also the green peppers and spinach, with the sweet onion sauce. Much more balanced that way.”
I let him make it his way. I couldn’t even object, because I was struck speechless by this man, making probably minimum wage at the c-appiest sandwich chain in America, caring so deeply about his work and my lunch. This man and his pride in his work, his determination to actually care, helped me see my own work in a new light, and honestly helped me climb out of the burnout I’d been suffering at the time.
Whatever you do, do it the best you can; thanks for the reminder, Subway dude.
Do good work no matter you've been asked to do.
This served me well over last 20 years
