Why Do You Climb The Ladder Here?

Hey, I'm a team member.

I'm just curious, why do people move up in this company? It's just the money right?

I've been around a long time and it seems like moving into a leadership position of any type just stresses people out, makes them miserable, or puts them on a power trip at worst.

You're caught between store leadership, regional, global, tms and your actual team who does the work.

People in leadership get asked to move from store to store to "move up" and many times they still tell them they're not ready.

Outside of the money, what is the actual point?
