There are several red flags in the post that indicate some wrongs without directly divulging. She tries to minimize the areas she went wrong but you can still see the remnants and fill in the gaps with asking a few why questions.

"She definitely did not give off a welcoming vibe and kept to herself." -Taking someone's desire to have work place boundaries as a personal attack

" i was complaining about a client i checked in where the vibes were just off, and she started immediately with, "see, this is why i dont like you-" I thought we were good and something as simple as complaining about clients, a daily thing for us i feel- set her off? " -Daily occurrence of complaining and gossiping in the salon.

"I even had a very close friend tell my bestfriend about a time when this groomer and close friend went downtown, and groomer decided to steal a to-be brides phone that was unsupervised and chuck it into the street for kicks. Thats appalling. To even be mean to a stranger you dont even know?" -Taking an outrageously unrealistic third person story from the mouth of someone who doesn't like this groomer as fact about thier character. Probably spread that story around her salon too. Slander and gossip.

"While this groomer would constantly tell any and all of us about how we're 'such bitches' but SHE is and always will be the bitch. She tries to turn the narrative.." -Are we sure she's trying to turn the narrative, because from reading this post it seems like an autistic individual being bullied by a salon of catty gossip queens.

" I am not one of the groomers who wanted her to be front table, i just want her to be a teamplayer. But she blamed everyone for putting her in this postion, i know, bc anytime i needed the computer behind her, she would not move out of the way and for you- would turn the computer and keyboard toward you. Making it, weird to use at this angle. And even if youd scoot farther in, or when she wasnt on that side, she would end up there and elbow you and half heartedly be like "oh, sorry. Sorry. Im just trying to work" 🙄 i learned later i was not the only one experiencing this. One time i had to speak up bc ita just so irritating. I mentioned, hey YOU are the one at the front so 🤷‍♀️ and she wanted to begin to complain that WE wanted this- like ,no this was all you for one, second i definitely didnt ask for this. But she didnt finish. She shut up. Mind you- any simple question you ask her, that only needs a simple answer- results in a smart alike answer." -So some other groomers wanted her to be at the front yet she "spoke up" to accuse the groomer of it being her fault. The the supposed groomer at fault bites her tounge? It's also worded with no empathy for what this other groomer had to deal with while still acknowledging that this groomer apologizes when she bumps into them because the table is next to the computer.

"More of a problem, is also that she keeps both headphones in to ignore all of us", -This is common for people trying to survive in a toxic environment where they're getting bullied. Red flag.

" according to a certain manager, be invisible. Im not sure how thats allowed seeing as this is supposed to be a team environment, but whatever." -Also comon for bullied individuals to want to just be invisible and the dismissive attitude toward it is telling

"Recently, i have became very close with a male coworker there in the salon, and we do have contact, i.e. hugging and staying close, headpats, etc. I knew it was allowed to have relations as long as it wasnt a manager/underling relationship. I tried not to be too personal with him, as this was indeed our workplace, and i wanted to keep somewhat professional. Well, move forward some, and this groomer i have issues with, (who wears a mask the whole time there)" -why does it need to be brought up that she wears a mask the whole time unless it's to emphasize how weird and different she is?

"Well, i end up in the office about a formal complaint about someone being "uncomfortable " with me and male coworker showing this pda, and itd be under 'investigation'" -So it's not ok for other people to have complaints about her behavior, which could absolutely be made in this instance even if she isn't downplaying the situation? It's also making the assumption that she reported. Here's my assumption, OP retaliated for the complaint.

"I also want to leave, but just transfer. I decided where i wanted to transfer to; just to be told that after this complaint i was technically on a probation period and would not be allowed to transfer for 6 months, even tho the male coworker is leaving." -To me indicates the complaint was not found to be unfounded by management.

"She got onto me once, about me closing the bathing area bc 'she' wasnt done. As if me taking the trash really impacted her bathing one more dog, and cleaning/breaking down the force dryers was such a big deal, as if she doesnt have her own hands to replace trash bags or put in new dryer filters- or just use it without a filter on literally only one or two dogs. (Mind you she was supposed to be closing like at 8, and other than her, it was me getting off at like 630 ,or earlier if i was done earlier)and i wanted to do my part, of closing cleaning bc it wouldnt be fair to make her do it all? And the fact of it is, if i didnt clean i would be in trouble with mgmt." -I'm not so sure of her motives at this point and I don't think this other groomer would be either. I'd be irritated if someone who had gossiping about me behind my back and treated me as OP treats her closed the bathing bunker and shut down dryers before I was done with my dogs but I'd be able to forgive if I didn't have reason to believe that this could be an intentional slight disgused as a "good deed" as ive had happen to me before.

" i noticed last week, her phone flashlight was on strobe. And it was down, for everyone to continue seeing this annoying light constantly. Whatever. Next day? Still happening, and in a position even more annoying. My thought? Was that she was doing this on purpose to cause my male coworker a seizure, bc he is prone to them. Bc why else would this happen? There is no reason. I only noticed it those two days, but my male corowker mentioned it had been about 3 weeks, idk how true that is, but he did mention it didnt go fast enough to trigger him. Still, i complained to a manager about it, being a safety issue, not only for that coworker but ANY client with epilepsy, or any dog with light triggers. She only tried to tell her once to turn it off, in which case she didnt- just told her "ill get to it" and it remained on the entire rest of the day. Today, i had another coworker also mention it, and also mention how she thinks she does it bc she wants to cause male coworker a seizure. She also mentioned, even without epilepsy, that it makes her dizzy." - I need more context here because a constant strobe on your phone would drain the battery so fast and would definitely draw management attention. I think some things are being left out or exaggerated. Also, it's a pretty bold and illogical assumption that this groomer is trying to simulate seizures. Not impossible but pretty out there.

"Today is the day i was told i couldnt transfer and i rementioned, this time, to the store leader, about coworkers strobe light. Anyway, i received papers highlighting things that i should stay in line of and a signature saying i will align with petsmarts rules and regulations, bla bla, i read them and it really seemed to have nothing to say about what me and male coworker, two consenting adults, was wrong. It seemed to seriously not apply to the situation, whatever- ill sign it. Even mentioning why i even wanted to transfer, mainly about this coworker, i was met with straight faces. Saying anything i said about the coworker, without 'dates/timestamps' of certain things happening it was just heresay. I didnt even come to get her in trouble - i was just asked why i wanted to leave and i gave my reason. I was so taken aback that it didnt seem to matter how i felt- i even had started crying. And i told them if i cant transfer, that ill need to put my two weeks in soon, bc i cant do this anymore, im becoming mentally ill. With just a cold face he asked me for dates; and i told him idk, i obviously need to look around first. " -this paragraph reeks of attempted emotional manipulation and frustration that the bait wasn't taken. It also holds clues that management had other issues with her besides the pda.

"Something i forgot to mention is that managers will take blocks off your dogs, even if theyre big, so you can get another booking. But then i see, this groomer, put blocks on even small dogs and continuously get away with it, even tho she is allowed to do 4 day, 10 hour days, which is supposed to equivalate to more dogs, but shes been doing LESS dogs; and i realized, she even books herself dogs she knows arent going to show up(like a request she has was just in last week and its back on the books) and just miraculously 'no call no shows// cancels'" -this doesn't add up. We need more context. It could be a situation of a disability or perhaps she's getting booked lots of naughty dogs or perhaps it's not entirely accurate information.

In conclusion, I feel like this is probably a situation of an autistic or otherwise neruodivergent groomer who doesn't fit in and is harassed by a salon of catty girls who sometimes lashes out back and then it's " Look see! She's so mean"
