Do you think she’s meeting the bar of ambitious and not incompetent? If so then why isn’t she reaping the rewards?
Are the people working under her unambitious and incompetent?

I think corporate sees themselves on another planet from the peasants running the stores and to allow someone outside of the caste system of.. gasp, having a bachelors degrees/mbas in mass communication to work at HQ vs having worked in stores for the last 6 years bringing the company earnings is .. like a sympathy promotion if it ever happens.
I don't think she'll ever wind up at corporate.

Yea sorry for the questions, just bothered by other claims in the thread that hard work pays off within a caste system
She's moving every 1-3 years because they transfer her to a new store, and because she's running the higher profit stores they send her to trash stores to try and fix them. She has no practically no vacation, has to fill in staff shortages, works every weekend. I think she's around 30-40k. So she's doing all this to eventually (6 years in now) break into the corporate world, where she'll then have to move 1000 miles away to I think Georgia.
To... probably make 60k.
I'm really curious where she'll be in 5-10 years, she's managed so many stores I feel like she'd go regional manager route or something. OR training would keep her at corporate instead.
