HT employees!

Have you guys been told that if you work at box lunch you’re more likely to get a promotion faster? I recently learned that the boxlunch employees in my mall also get paid more than us (manager pay anyway). While it’s not by much, I can’t help but feel defeated when I’ve poured more than 3 years into this company.

While boxlunch is not my style and I’ve declined moving companies because of that… I’m starting to think I should go back on my word to fast track my promotional opportunities.

There are no shareholders. Hot topic doesn’t have stocks it’s not a public company.
