So I took this job a few months back at this salon..and it's..not that great. :\ My fellow groomers hate me because I "groom too fast and hog all the dogs" even though I always offer them the last couple dogs to make it even and they say no. The receptionist tries to sabotage me by writing their names on the grooming sheets (big dogs and ones worth big money or tip well) as if they're requests for the other groomers. The owner/our boss is on my side, so I WON'T lose my job if they say anything to her about me (AKA lie), but still..it's such a stressful environment.
To top it off, I'm lucky if I get in there 2 out of the 5 days I'm supposed to be in because there aren't enough dogs coming in.. The place is unsanitary, looks horrible, they smoke there and simply don't care about the business. It's NOTHING like what I thought I would be doing coming out of school.
My own business is on hold as I got turned down for a loan. I may be getting help from the same organization that gave me my RV for my rig, but that will still be a while. And I've already looked for a second grooming or bathing job. No bites, lol.
I guess my question is how can I resolve some of the issues and cure the tension? I'm stuck there, if I want to groom.. and I do, of course. For the time being I'd just like to smooth things out. I have a feeling if I just sit the two down, they're just going to talk more to one another about me later... Sooo..is there a "covert" way to ease everything? Lmao.
Sorry about the ranting.
