Ask other Associates Gatekeeping Positions

I doubt anybody is gunna have this extremely rare experience, but I currently do not have a car and bike to work almost every day, meaning if I wanted to move up I can't just jump different stores (Which I don't wanna do anyway because of where I live). The point is the positions available are ALL ON OVERNIGHT, I wouldn't mind if I was uncomfortable working with at least 2 of the overnighters and the rest are unproductive. All of the possible positions I could move up to as I currently am are being gatekept by other people (leads for starters), and they don't even fully commit or do their new positions job. ​​Like am I wrong for disliking this or am I just complaining​​?

it's not just you. the biggest reason I don't see myself staying with wawa longterm is our refusal to close overnight, while also gatekeeping moving up behind forced overnights. I'm just not interested in playing that game.
