This happened to me twice. Probably not uncommon.

Just out of college I was managing one of thirteen pizza joints that was trying to become a franchise chain. I did the hiring, firing, training and worked my dragon jeans off for low-end salary as is usual in low-end restaurants.. Anyways, I’d get the assistant manager operating and the employees functioning and the company would steal my people for a different and usually struggling store.

Nope.

Then, many years later, word eventually got out that I knew what I was doing while working in a cube farm. I was spending half my day problem-solving, training informally and answering questions for the rookies while doing my own job.

Nope, again.

Since then, I’ve consistently relied, as needed, on the most reliable and efficient concept in the pursuit of a happy life that can be distilled down to one word: No.
