Hey Candy,
GIRL YOUR NOT ALONE CAN I JUST SAY THAT!!???
I work in a similar situation... the former manager who jus stepped down does that very same thing... our new manager has told him about that ... NO SMOKING IN THE SALON It just gets ingored and aww well he not listening ...
He also smokes in the bathroom WHICH IS REALLY BAD!!!! Cause it hard to breathe in there jus to go pee sometimes!!!! But he seems to have no remorse or morale at all.... There not much I can do either cause I am not in mangagement.... and honestly I think my current manager is sort of a push over a lil bit.. she just lets people off the hook... I think cause she is afraid if she writes them up or something it will cause tension and she does'nt want to do that... but like I told her... IF YOUR TAKING CHARGE OF THIS SALON AND YOU PLAN ON DOING NE THING ABOUT BOOSTING THE BUSINESS HERE YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO EVEN THOUGH U DON'T WANNA....
We have even had several clients complain about the heavy smoke smell in our salon... IT BAD!! Although I gotta say it has improved some... But they still do their own thing if she not there... WHICH SUCKS!!!
Anyhow... I agree with you 100% it not fun to work with ppl like that!

Hope things get better for you~
