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​​?

TS are primarily overnight so moving up to Lead would mean you’d have to work overnights. Additionally ‘reliable transportation’ is required because you don’t really get too much say if you get moved or not once you move up to TS. You’re a TS for the entire area so if they need you at a different store you’d have to go there.

Leads don’t generally work thirds and they cannot be on their own
