I really need some advice. I have recently qualified as a laser technician and immediately found a job at a laser clinic. Before I even started they stressed that they will still send me for laser training that I will have to pay for if I leave before working a year there. All of this seemed pretty reasonable for me as loads of places do this and I didn't mind another certificate. My suspicion began when they stated that I will have to do the training before I can start working (even though the first week would have been shadowing only) so pretty much forced me into the training as soon as they could. Now for the training. What I expected was some sort of accredited course but all it was was a therapist explaining how the machine works in between clients. I didn't even get to use the laser during the so called training as they didn't book models! What came as an even bigger surprise is that they valued this training at 500 pounds! Ignoring all that I was excited to start work. Until I met the manager. A girl two years older than me that thinks she runs the whole thing. Now I have never met someone who is this bad at their job. She has a nasty attitude towards customers, does the bare minimum, changes people's days off according to when she needs a day off, does not answer calls or emails and expects the therapists to do it. Now I've only been at this place a month and I am more than done with her attitude. The days are fully booked with clients back to back yet she still manages to book clients in after work hours! The place is highly sales driven yet she doesn't seem to care if we lose customers due to her nasty attitude. The problem is that I really enjoy the job but can't stand the manager and I think she can feel that as she never includes me in any conversations and even when discussing my own working hours while I'm standing right next to her she won't say a word to me. I feel like she puts herself so high above everyone else. Now I am stuck with this nasty woman as I don't want to pay for the crappy training they have provided me even though I have an offer to go work at a different clinic. Anyone ever been in situations like these? How do you ignore such self centered people?
