Could someone advise me what the first step is to take or if anyone else has been in a similar situation?
Been working in a salon for several months, honestly have not been enjoying it at all and neither do the other staff. Clients are lovely and my other colleagues keep us all going, full of support & have created a great friendship.
I have felt like I have been personally picked on since day 1 by the salon owner, they do not do any treatments nor hold any qualifications themselves. I don't believe they carry out things very professionally or even In A safe practical matter. If I question why they prefer something a certain way I'm the problem when I'm just trying to understand why and not just because they said so, I have the experience I am the employee!
I have given countless ideas to help the salon grow and become better for the staff and clients who come in, majority are all judged negatively or disagreed too without even consideration.
If something has went wrong in the salon I wouldn't be automatically blamed even if I wasn't in the day it happened, I have been at blame for other staff faults when I was the one who had tried to help them, explain & partly train them in salon ways.. if they are qualified already why is this my fault if they do not carry out basic skills of training?
There has been a great turnover of staff over the years, speaking to current staff that are very honest but also very welcoming and supportive through everything as salon owner behaviour has been the same for many years. However it has progressed and has got worse with the lack of communication, extremely poor management and the fact they are open to discuss to reps & other people that they do not care about the place.
As I carry myself as a very professional worker, I believe you should follow everything by the book for legal, issuance reasons and of course the welfare of staff & customers! Becos of this I believe the salon owner sees that I'm challenging them, questioning why they do not have basic salon needs; correct updated client records for facial/body treatments, salon safety (loose cables & leads, which I have tripped over many of times) the list could go on and on!
Recently I was unfairly cut set hours in less than 24hours notice due to quiet spell in salon, I therefore tried to make up those cut hours the following week and upset the salon owner. From this they wanted to leave but wanted me to leave at my own terms not that they were firing me for me making up my hours that had been unfairly taken away.
I did not resign. But been sent A TEXT MESSAGE saying they believe I'm not suitable for the salon & letting me go.
I have not replied, but now wondering what step to take first of all.
Sorry it's lengthy but best to describe situation
Thanks x
