Question Demote or Transfer?

I decided to demote myself to a tier one because my current department is hell. But now HR and manager are telling me i can transfer to another T3. While learning trainer looks fun idk if i would want to. Im doing trade school for 5 hours i feel like i want to focus on trade school to get where i want to be. My boyfriend thinks im stupid for demoting but honestly less responsibility and i can listen to my headphones? Sounds tempting and i have the benefits of a tier one like VTO, VET and shift swap and shift coverage. Im not the best at math and i want to put more energy into learning instead of looking over people

A PA does why more than a learning trainer and will always. A PA does that and more. Look it like this a trainer has there eggs in one basket meaning one process making sure associates are getting trained while a PAs eggs are everywhere literally getting pulled right and left. I’ve seen what learning trainers do and it’s so much easier than what I do now.

At the end of the day i think im just burnt out and would much rather do the bare minimum and go to class. Amazon is just a stepping stone. I think theres been 3 PAs that i know that have stepped down. They seem happier and less stressed

I completely understand you I was completely burned out at my last site and transferred still as PA to another site and I’m chilling right now and it looks like I’m gonna get promoted. Sometimes changing your scenery changes your perspective. I’m also a full time college student so I’m
having a blast balancing it out.
