Every time another position comes up, I'm pestered by coworkers about applying for it. Yes, it's a promotion. No, I don't want it right now. I'm quite happy where I am.
I guess I'm an anomaly. My current position is more entry level and no one stays for much longer than a year before they move up. I've been there 2 1/2 years and don't plan to move up for a while yet.

I just want to be a worker bee, too. Do my work, go home and don't have to think about the shipment I need to order, or finish processing the shipment that came in, or go to a trade fair or a supplier on my day off, etc.
Yesterday to men came in from the neighbourhood newspaper (one of the free ones) and basically demanded that I tell them why I chose not to take over the store, because they wanted to write an article about it. I told them that since I've been getting enough angry reactions already that I wasn't going to tell them. Just the way they approached me, demanding as if they had every right to know and write about it (not asking me if that was okay with me) just rubbed me the wrong way. If they would have asked nicely I might have, but not this way.
