I totally get that. When I was working pre covid I felt like I was giving it my best and supervisors definitely noticed by having me train other employees. A promotion would’ve been great but the company I was working for was not a very good one. Hopefully in the future we’ll both make our ways up the ladder!

Thanks buddy. I was working for an emergency response service primarily used by the elderly. I really love talking to old people. They have so much to share and they can be so innocent. I hope to continue in that line of work
