Hi everyone,
So I'm in a bit of a sticky situation, I moved to New Zealand 6 months ago with the intention to travel, however last month I landed myself an amazing job as 'senior therapist' in a beauty salon which is a sub-business to a hair salon (but in a different building) so I decided I would stay here and work my dream job. When I got this job my boss & I said if all goes well she will help me get my work visa.
Now the situation is a little different- my boss is driving me bloody crazy & the job is nothing like I thought. I was under the impression I would be here with 2 other girls yet I am working by myself, I am not managing anything, I am receiving no support from my boss in promoting the salon (which has only been open 1 year and yet people still come in saying 'oh I didn't know you were here'), and she wants to run the beauty salon the same way you run a hair salon.
My boss is a hairdresser and I'm not wanting to insult and hairdressers out there because you're all amazing and I admire you- but I feel as my boss is not a beauty therapist she should not be trying to run a beauty salon. The treatment menu is so limited & she wants everything to be 'express', I want to change some things yet she doesn't understand why. I was told I'd be on minimum wage + commission however I only earn commission if i make over a certain amount, which has not yet happened and is not going to happen.
She is now wanting to cut my hours due to the lack of business & I'm reaching the end of my tether. I don't want to leave as it makes me start all over again in regards of my visa etc but how do I put this across to her without sounding like a b*tch?? Or am I the one in the wrong??
Needed a rant, thanks in advance.
