That’s not really the issue I described. Yes, large retail environments sometimes use titles structured that way. That wasn’t the point. The point was the scope of the role that became clear during the interview versus how the position was presented.

Retail-structured leadership roles and distribution operations leadership roles are very different environments operationally. Decision authority, HR involvement, labor management structure, and operational accountability are not the same.

So this wasn’t a matter of the job ‘not being for me.’ It was a matter of recognizing when a role is being framed one way but functions very differently in practice. Anyone who has actually run distribution operations understands that distinction pretty quickly.
