I don’t know whether that would help as much as you think it will. I just got out of the military, and there are definitely certain people who started out taking a lot of shit from people just like you did at that rank, but their motivation to rank up was because they couldn’t wait to become the people giving people shit.
We’d put them into cust-supp after they’ve done their mandatory gap-year service. Waiting tables or trying to hear bubba over the dimestore drive-thru[sic] gear and his argl-bargle diesel F350 garage queen will DEFINITELY work the stick out from where it got lodged.
I never worked in one of these positions, but I respect the hell out of people who do. I did do a house cleaning job for a bit that was pretty bad and maybe that’s where it’s from, but I think I’ve always had that. I just respect people who do things for others, no matter what it is. I don’t think it needs to be required, but maybe have a system to report people and enough reports forces you to do “community service” in one of these positions.
And that’s why mandatory customer service or retail job should be required for every 18 year old for like 6 months.
It really doesn’t take long working as a waiter, cashier, phone operator to learn respect for the role.

Hardest part about being a leader is being better than the shit leadership you had
If the leadership you had was shitty shouldn’t the easy part be being better than them?
Why would being a good leader be easy?
Nah, common decency isn’t that hard, it just requires not wanting to be a leader.

Are you me? Because I say that all of the time.
Doesn’t everyone? That sentiment is kind of meme level these days

Okay but does it count if dairy queen fires you before 6 months, asking for a friend
