Ok I work for Regis SmartStyle... some of you may remember that... anyway...

Our manager left (again) she is always in and out... So they offered the job to another stylist there... I personally have always thought that this one would make an awesome manager, she just has this personality that would serve her well in that position... When another of the stylists found out about this she decided she wanted the job, which is understandable, I myself wanted to put in for it but didnt because they offered it to the one girl. I figured if she decided that she was interested great and if not then I would tell them I was or if she tried it and didnt like it and wanted to step back down I would go for it ya know. ANYWAY... They tested both of them and then said that they both did badly on the test. So I called and they refused to even test me, said that they were just going to go with someone outside of the shop. I think maybe they were afraid of it causing conflict between the stylists, but honestly what they have done has caused more. The one they offered it to is hurt, the other one they tested has made many comments that since we dont have a boss she is just gonna act like she is, (her personality sucks, and she does try to boss us all around which isnt going over so well) and Im hurt that they wouldnt even test me. LOL Its all a big mess and everyone is short with each other right now. I have always been the one to just say ok whatever and get runover while others act like total bitches and get everything they want, so while it isnt really my personality I am going to start being more demanding. I have been there since sept and was there for a year before I got my divorce, and I still to this day do not have a set schedule. You cant build a clientele when you have no clue when you will work next. All the other girls have set days. With the exception of the one part timer. I am full time and I think I deserve a set schedule as well. Is that wrong???  I mean I know when vacations and time off come about you have to move around a lil to help out and that is totally cool with me but its ALWAYS this way. Maybe the new manager coming from the outside will be the best thing for this shop.
