Embarrassed of where I work?

I work at a grocery store. I am a lead for the stores curbside department. Since I started 2 years ago, I’ve moved up 3 positions and gotten a $7 raise. So to answer the question no! I am not embarrassed of where I work. I got a full time position with great health care benefits and a great discount on most of my groceries.

People have tried to talk bad out my job and it used to really stress me out and bring me down. I’ve worked so hard to move where I am at right now.

I don’t know why people think my job isn’t that great and it’s not their life to be worried about anyways. I’m content with where I’m at in life. I’ve recently bought a house with my fiancé and we’re doing pretty well. Could I move up? Yes. But for now I’m happy and I’m going to live my life not caring about what others think about me and my career.

... Read moreWorking in a grocery store can often be underrated, yet it offers unique benefits and personal growth opportunities. Many individuals, like myself, find satisfaction in retail based roles, providing essential services to the community. Job stability, health insurance, and staff discounts are just some positives that come with this profession. The retail industry is constantly evolving, and numerous people are successfully climbing the corporate ladder. For instance, positions in curbside services have surged in demand due to changes in consumer behavior. Personal fulfillment, such as purchasing a home or building relationships, plays a key role in fostering satisfaction with one's job despite external judgments. The importance of embracing one’s career choice should not be underestimated. Feeling proud of your job can lead to increased self-esteem and motivation. It is vital to remember that each individual's journey is unique and deserves respect. In recent years, public perceptions of jobs in retail have changed, appreciating the hard work that goes into providing excellent customer service and ensuring product availability. Moreover, community engagement through initiatives and programs can elevate the workplace experience. Let's shift the focus to the resilience and adaptability of those in the grocery sector, contributing positively to society every day.

Girl I LOVE HEB. I worked at Kroger for 10 years. I started as a cashier and got 4 promotions, I ended as a bookkeeper. I was always told “you need a big girl job” that grocery store job helped me buy my first car, by myself, and got me through college. People need to stop job shaming. Every job is important

Nobody should be embarrassed of where they work if they’ve worked there for so long and have great benefits and like what they are doing! You’re working and killing it ☺️
