Does anybody else have a best, worst job you've ever had? A job that absolutely crushed you, but looking back you're like "man, that was a really valuable even though I wish it went differently" 😩😩😩 I was an aide while in the Army and worked 15 hour days for a year, but damn I fr got an education on people.

I was a Nextel store manager during the disastrous Sprint acquisition. That was ROUGH, but it taught me so much about finding solutions in difficult sitautions. And how to work with people, especially very angry people.

When a merger results in a $26B write-down, there are a lot of angry people! For example, I had customers come in with their business #'s mistakenly turned off and there was literally nothing I could do. They were incompatible networks (iDEN and CDMA) and the company cultures were completely different. Total nightmare.

That’s wild - really appreciate you sharing. Customers getting screwed and local stores getting caught in the crossfire sounds like a nightmare 😩😮💨
