Anyone else have the problem of constantly being pressured to get into management? I work for a large grocery store chain and they're constantly pushing for managers in my department which is Floral. It sounds like a good deal, but it's one person in the floral department at all times with almost zero help even during holidays and proms. They may throw a buck or two more at you, but the work is overwhelming and one person takes all of the responsibilities. It just isn't a deal for me at my age. Everything is beyond your control

The big P?

I have not been pressured recently but Im 55. I have seen in some areas where they pressure people to roi then a few years later those people are quitting or stepping way down

I think most people think that management is giving them a promotion. They throw a few bucks at you and throw you into the hell pit. It's my personal feeling pressuring people into management positions is for them not you.

@Kojaksmom Or in the case of those up front, they give them a title and let them wear their own clothes but no extra money and call it a step up

@Lucy_Fehr lol reminds me of woody on cheers. Instead of giving him a raise they give him a big name.
