So this is a kinda long rant but any input/advice would be appreciated. Am I being too princessy?!
OK, so, Im really not happy at this place. The manager really doesnt like me. I love the owner, shes a doll but the manager dislikes me for some reason. When I was hired I was told I could have Sundays off - I wanted at least 1 day a week to spend with the family. These next 2 weeks Im working both Sat and Sun. I also let them change around my schedule already because others were bitching about certain days. I wanted to seem cooperative, ya know? Today I asked if I could get a Sunday off in the next 6-8 weeks and Im told I work every weekend and Ill get 1 Saturday (not Sunday) off every 1-2 months.Im sorry, so I was lied to when the owner hired me or the manager just hates me and is making me work every single weekend shift. I already know this is not going to work.
We were asked if we would like our 2 days off together or seperate. I said "together please"One of the other girls, Rayna, said she doesnt care. So why do I get mine apart and she gets hers together. And on top of that WHY does the part time person get PRIME shifts. Weekday opening shifts and every other Saturday. I, personally, think the full timers should get the better shifts and part-timers are used as kind of a fill in for shifts. In that case shit, Id rather work 20 hrs instead of 30 so I can get the best shifts and still be able to dance on the weekends!
So Im not very happy - not to mention the clientel is not what Im looking for. Everyone came in for the $8.95 haircuts. Then they were rude on top of that. I heard one girl say about her dads haircut (who I did exactly what HE wanted) "I guess you get what you pay for". Well, I guess you DO!Go pay $30 and get a better haircut!
So, I got off at 4pm and went back to American Male. If anyone remembers, thats the salon thats a higher end place for men only that I was hired at in October. Well, I went, groveled a lil bit (ok, kidding) but I went and the owner, Mimi, was there and when I walked in she was like "I remember you!" so I gave her a rundown of the last few months (cept for the job I have now) and said I really would like to be able to meet with her about a job again. So, I have an interview/meeting on Thursday.
And thats my day. I really hope Mimi offers me a job again or at least keeps me in mind if one of her girls leaves. I really liked her and I think that position would be better than this one.
My hopes are up - Im not mad, just a little confused as to why Im getting screwed on shifts. Im being positive about this whole thing tho.
Am I being bitchy about the Sundays thing? Or do I have a right to be since when I was hired I was told Sundays off is ok?!
