hey everyone been debating on weather to post this or not
Bit of a long rant sorry, i have been in my new work place now for 6 months first 2 months were great but after that everything has gone down hill, i work for a well known hotel and have 2 managers bit confusing i know, well where to begin i feel that me and my collegues are being treated unfairly but would like anyones advice!
every month we have a set rota so i like to plan the days that i have off around these hours although my assistant managers likes to change to rota at least 3 times a month and tweaks hours so she can go home early or go into a treatment room and do her makeup, i feel like i dont have a life as eveytime i write my hours down i go back in and there changed again without any notice, now being on a part time contract i feel i am entitled to look for other work on the days i have off as they cant provide me with full time hours, i went to my manger and said that this was a problem and he said that he understands and that i should have been given notice!! (sure he does)
second thing is in my contract it states i need to be given 1 months written notice to any significant changes which is the next part my manager has now decided that he wants to close wednesdayswhich was decided yesterday and has been put into action from next week and has now also changed this months rota half way through the month, after saying to me that he understands about it changing all the time! me and the other therapists was looking through the rota to write the new hours down to find that we have clients booked in and they have left it to us to cancel appointments and let ppl down
3rd thing is we had a rough patch in december where there wasnt much clientele comin through the door and we all had a meeting and my manager turned round and said that its basically its all of our faults that were not making buisness And bringin in revenue and that if we dont start then he will have to send us home unpaid! which didnt go down well with all of us girls after giving him a million ideas to increase revenue which was sitting in his office he had the cheek to say it was our faults and we would get in trouble by the hotel! the thing with being ina hotel we cant go out and advertise ourself as were not allowed to it has to go through our manager then above through to his manager to make sure it has all the brand standards so this was our argument!and the fact that surely its illegal as were all on contracts that he cant just decide to send us home unpaid, as he wasnt going to loose a days pay for the mistakes hes made! annd his words were well if you dont like it you know where the door is
4th thing my manager had this brainy idea to make us go stand on the main high street and hand out passes for 25% treatments to passing trade which hasnt worked at all and asolutley freezing outside i might add and when one of the girls said its snowing today can i give it a miss he said well dont you own a coat i feel like were being treated and spoken to like crap he doesnt own this salon he works in the hotel and runs that department although he hasnt got the first clue about beauty he made one of the girls scrub the sauna and when he came to look at it he turned round and said its not good enough do it again!
i looked at the rota today and they have put me down as a holiday day although i havent agreed to take holiday and they have done this with the other girls aswel are they allowed to do this?
i came up with an idea to put special leaflets in the rooms so i designed them all ect they worked really well and brought ppl in( not rocket science really) i have now been given the job as promoter/marketing and a beauty therapist to oh and also we have to clean the salon aswel although my contract clearly states job role Beauty therapist amd doesnt say i have to do any other job than this!
my manger comes to us and tells us to do jobs then my assistant manager says your not doin that, then we get told off by our other manager omg its awful here!!!
my assistant manger uses us girls to do treatments on her in our work hours and puts her name in the diary as someone else she uses products from the shelves on herself shes also really miserable and slams things about and ignores us girsl when we ask for her advice and that she just huffs at us and tslks to us like crap, whenever we no shes going to be working we always say to eachother oh hows so and so today so we can tiptoe around her its not a very nice atmosphere to be honest me and the girsl are seriously working in a stressfull environment although when they both arent there on a sunday we have such a good day thats another thing by the way neither of them work sundays!
im just a bit confused on what to do as me and the girls are so frustrated theres so much more i could rant about but ill leave it at that for now should i go above and say something or am i suppose to do all this stuff and just get on with it this is my first job in a salon and i have never known something to be such a sham in all my life!
Thanks for reading:sad:
