I think I might have posted anything about my employee woes a bazillion light years ago. I stopped venting about them here when I decided this is a platform mainly for things that make me happy but sometimes, also a venue to vent the occasional and inevitable and worth telling bad experiences and/or misadventures. I thought my shop and employee woes are too frequent to write here and it's actually been awhile since we've had major drama. That was when Jenetalia went on "leave."
Leave my arse. I had a hunch that this was not due to personal reasons as she had claimed and I was right- she worked for another spa. I knew she was only playing it safe. If her new spa does well, she'll stay there and won't come back. But if it doesn't, she'll haul her sorry ass back to me-which was what happened. But you see, the one-month leave became five months and I think I don't want to be treated like a doormat. I treated them well and never, ever, not even once, threw an expletive at them even if very much deserved it and this is what I get? Ingrates. Well, actually, I was thinking of still getting her but not now. In other words, she has to wait for my signal as to when she can come to work. Business was a little slow after the holidays and I don't think I can afford to keep four nail techs everyday. Anyway, what really made me blow my top was when she told this employee who only works on weekends that she'll take her place and that she has spoken to me about it already. HOGWASH. And that was when I decided that I am not letting her sorry ass into my shop again. Yes, maybe you are good at that skill you do but you have the worst case of attitude problem. I don't want anything to do with you anymore. You are not indispensable. No one is indispensable. How dare she threaten me that if I don't take her back she'll work for the other spa. Which she did. And after a week under her new employer, she sends me a text message asking me to take her back. She should have thought about her action first, no? I am no Taylor Swift fan but I am going to quote her on this- we are never ever getting back together. Good riddance.
But guess what- she is now contacting our customers- her customers daw. They are the shop's customers, by the way. I guess I can't please everybody and all customers who still want her, I can't do anything about. Time and again I say that I believe in karma.
What goes around comes around, people.
