I've officially had enough at work. I shouldn't even be posting this online because I probably have a creepy stalker for a co-worker. But I'm past the point of caring. Annnd I don't even care that I'm complaining about things I maybe shouldn't complain about. But I need to vent. Aren't you lucky!
So I knew today was going to suck. Negative? Maybe. But I knew it. Fast forward to when I arrived at work (it was all fine and dandy before hand) and I looked at the appointment book and saw that I (again, happens ALL the time) had not a single 5 minute break from 10am right up until 6pm. Old news, I can deal with that. Who REALLY needs to pee anyways? Not me. So I went on with my day, client after client. Actually. Not just any clients..I had to give my boss's husband a friggin pedicure to start my lovely day off. THEN I had to spend two agonizing hours giving my boss a facial & a pedicure..while she so kindly sat there and critiqued me. Fast forward through having to clean up everyone else's crap who used my room while I was on holidays annnd we end up at a meeting I had with my boss at 5pm. Yay. So I sit down and she goes "this is a serious meeting, read this letter." She friggin wrote me a letter, describing how I don't work hard enough and am basically a crappy employee. It was down right mean. I'm still crying over the bloody thing. I work harder than anyone in that messed up place. I NEVER complain about not getting breaks, not having the proper time in between clients, not getting a raise after almost working there for 2 whole years!! The woman will really dig up and make up anything she can think of to not give me a raise. I feel so stuck there and I hate it! So now I'm more confused than ever. I don't want to screw anyone over, but I don't want to keep letting people walk all over me. UGH.
I'm typing up a new resume right now.
Then I'm going to bed before my head explodes.

It's time...
you know what I am talking about...
so do it!
Poor thing. I think I'll get you a gift certificate to the spa to cheer you up.
Oh, wait a minute --
Arrrrrrr. I want to slap those ladies across the face. Andrea's probably really mad, I remember she wanted to go in and talk to them when she found out you couldn't get a break. Let Andrea go in and slap them. Quit!!!!!!
Ahhh Tamara,
I feel for you...I know what you're going through. The "beauty" biz is so far from being beautiful!! Its got to be one of the hardest places to work and you've done so well! I didn't last more than six weeks in a salon...I was too "sensitive"...I wasn't fired, but I quite and didn't bother going back to a salon. I'm so proud of you for sticking it out for this long...but there comes a time when enough is enough and I think you've had enough. They don't deserve you!! They really don't. You don't deserve to be put down and run through the mill everytime you go to work. Do they think that criticizing you all the time is motivating? I know you're good at what you do...they obviously can't see that. I hope you do what's right for you and nobody else...don't worry about what everyone else thinks or feels...you need to take care of yourself and of your spirit...don't let it be crushed any longer. You're worth so much more!!!
Keep looking up...He'll get you through anything...even this!!
Yeah Tamara, time to write a letter of your own. But don't be nasty. Instead practice the kind of graciousness that you wish you could have recieved from them. Somehow work into that letter of resignation that you feel they have done all the help that they possibly could. You've plateaud and are ready to move to another level of self enhancement. Well maybe thats overdoing it, but you know what I mean.
You can't let people walk all over you. You need to be assertive, and in a kind, dignified matter. Don't stoop to her level, just grace her with your kindness.
All will work out well!
Go Tamara go! Go Tamara go!!!!!
Thanks for the words guys! I really appreciate them!
You don't have to take it!! You didn't go to school for nothing. I've noticed a few placed around town that you could at least talk to :) You can do it!!!
