I worked here as a Budtender and want to share my experience. At the start of the year, my hours were cut without notice, no conversation, no explanation. I ranked 3rd in Frequent Flyer signups (costing $99–$125 each), signed up 6 in a day, and even won the peer-voted Zone GOAT award. Still, I was overlooked for advancement. I requested interviews for supervisor and brand ambassador roles, but was either ignored or repeatedly pushed off. Turnover is high because people don’t feel seen or supported. I stayed as long as I could, but had to choose myself. This isn’t bitterness, it’s my truth. I hope they start valuing those who care. — Elijah Dove
