A mentor in Denver told me to never take a promotion without a raise, and I think that's bad advice.

He said it over coffee after a project meeting, insisting it devalues your work. But I took a lead role without extra pay for six months, and it directly led to a 20% salary bump later. Has anyone else moved up first and gotten paid later?

Switched from a weekly flower order to a twice-weekly delivery and it changed my whole cooler

For years, I got my main shipment every Monday, but by Friday, the stock was always looking tired, especially the delicate stuff like ranunculus. Last month, I split the order to come Monday and Thursday, keeping the same total spend of about $800 a week. The difference is huge. Everything stays fresher, I have way less waste, and I can actually promise customers Friday wedding flowers that won't wilt by the evening. Has anyone else made a switch like this and found a better delivery schedule that works for a small shop?
