Salon Woes....

So the salon I have been working at got sold. The new owners already own another salon here in Logan so they thought, hey we will close down the Salon Essentials location (mine) and move everyone over to ours (Hair Studio 170). They thought, we will have enough room for everyone (some 20 plus stylists) to be able to have them still work their original days. So I thought, okay this will be a pain, but they are trying to make everything all fine and dandy for everyone. So last night I got all my stuff that I had packed up, put it in my car and drove over to the new salon to move it all in. So I get there and they are like, oh, so when are you working again? I was thinking are you kidding me? I have told you tonz of times, I work Saturdays and I want to start on commission here for a while, heck I even filled out their stupid little paper that told them what days I want to work and whether or not I wanted to do booth rent or commission. So, I told them AGAIN.
On Saturday they had moved over our cabinets that we used to store all of color and products like that, so that we would have a place for them when we moved. So I asked where they were and he was like, "oh, yeah, we should get one for you (mind you there were like 5 empty ones), so he goes in the room where they are and looks around and then says well, lets see, I think you can use this one...". It is the most inconvenient one, it is behind the door... Why???? But I was like whatever, I'll take it. So then I asked which station would be mine and he paused and hesitated and proceeded to tell me... "well, see we are really busy on Saturdays and all of our stations are full, so we are just going to have you station hop".... I'm thinking WHAT????? Then he said "we might be able to scrounge up a couple of drawers for you in one of the stations that you can put some stuff in..." So, what, every time I need something I have to run across the salon and get it out of the drawer they had to "find" for me? What happens if I have an appointment and all the stations are full, do I just take my client out to the parking lot and say sorry, they don't have room for us so lets cut your hair out here, NO, that is ridiculous! So I had to completely reorganize my rollabout so that I can fit all of my styling products and everything I need, I had to shove other things that I should have on the station into my color cabinet because, I don't have a station. So needless to say, I am really angry and I will probably be looking for another job in the near future, which is too bad because I really liked all the girls I worked with at Salon Essentials, and everyone is moving over to Hair Studio 170. So that is my vent session... Hope your day is going good!
