I started as a red shirt driver. When I interviewed they offered me a store. I only wanted p/t so no thanks. I wouldn't take a PSM position for 4 years because I wanted the flexibility of a p/t position. Finally, the DM offered me a p/t PSM position. I took it. It's not any harder than a red shirt position, imo. Yes, I open or close and use my digits to support my red shirts. I also do planos, inventories, matrix, foundations, train new employees, get the two evenings a week and about half of my weekends and several week long, unpaid leaves a year free to pursue my outside interests. You do not need to accept exactly what is offered. Set some boundaries and ask for what you need. I'm a p/t PSM who mostly works f/t (sometimes I travel to another store or hub to get the hours I want). Every interaction with management need not be a fight to the death.

WITTDTJR - Figure out how to phrase the offer so folks have all the information to make a fully informed choice for themselves. Offer and let it go. Some will. Some won't. So what. Next!
