What do you do that you earn six figures?

It seems like a lot of people make a lot of money and it seems like I’m missing out on something. So those of you that do, whats your occupation that pays so well?

I wish I knew more ops managers to talk shop with. No one understands what’s a total shitshow everything is all of the time and some how it all gets done.

Who are you to speak such words to unlock my heart? But for real, it's a shitshow and anytime someone from an "office" visits, they can't wait to leave but still demand it all gets done.

This. I’m in operations management. One of our office guys came to visit our location and had to leave after 40 minutes because there was “too much chaos.” Kind of made me giggle because everything was actually pretty well controlled that day!

I laughed pretty hard when someone from HQ asked "where's the coffee?"
