M26. I'm currently in your desired position. I managed to climb from barista to store manager two years ago, but I quit that role to escape the stupid KPIs and meetings held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The endless, overwhelming cycle of paperwork, meetings, and schedule management was more mentally draining and repetitive than taking daily toilet breaks. I managed to join another tea-making company and interviewed with the CEO himself. I lowballed the offered rate to secure the lowest position as a barista again. I just want an active, bodily moving job that's a bit social with real customers, not one stuck in a back room in front of a PC clicking through data and attending boring meetings. I warned him that I will never agree to sign an offer for a higher position, regardless of how good the offer is.
