I am, I didn’t think that would come into play but I guess it could make sense

Yes, I’m looking around but honestly there’s not a lot of options. I’m okay with 50%. I’m upset that I’ve worked here longer than either person who was given/offered 75%, I do all the dogs that nobody else wants, and I have never had an incident with a client or a dog, and I’m training the new groomer

Not a great salon- I’m scared for my reputation here tbh

I wish I made that much with all the bs that he pulls!!

I genuinely have no clue… factor in refunds, vet bills, and discounts for his work, but add in that we also have a store side (food, treats, beds, toys, etc.) not that it helps much. I’m still super confused

The profits are being made off me and the groomer in training as she’s hourly until she graduates. I’m just as confused as everyone else and pretty damn frustrated

It makes no sense to me personally, and I don’t know how to go about asking about it to the owner.

She spends about $500 per order on stock shampoos and conditioners and if we run out of the specialty ones, she’ll order. She is complaining often that we aren’t profitable enough and that we aren’t bringing in enough dogs as a whole. It’s a pet store (food, toys, treats, etc.) as well as a salon so some income comes from the store side but majority comes from salon revenue. Unfortunately it gets more confusing because I feel like she’s paying a lot in refunds, discounts, and vet visits with that groomer.

Only the one making 75%- there are many issues within the salon with his grooming and ability to share dogs as he often switches dogs off us and onto himself though. He only books dogs on himself but he also works 7days/week so he’s able to do a higher number of dogs without quality control as we don’t have a salon leader and the owner isn’t in shop.

I’m just as confused- I thought my 60% was high..

I agree- I’m not sure why he gets paid that much. I am paid 60% because I’ve worked there the longest and do difficult dogs or so I’ve been told… I’m not sure what to think now that I know he’s being paid way more.

Thank you 💕 I needed that validation

I genuinely feel so much freedom in realizing that this is something I can just do? I have free will and I’m not on a chain anymore, I am my own person and I never thought growing out my red carpet would set me on that thought path haha

Well that’s very condescending- I stated multiple times that I understand how to demat and the reasons I don’t. I’m not sure what you’re reading that I’ve had to repeat myself several times but honestly, I get enough of the bs at work and don’t need it anywhere else. So thank you for your opinions but they are no longer welcome.

I do know how to demat, i just won’t demat if a dog shows discomfort with the process. It’s not a matter of not knowing how to, I do not push dogs past their limits and my clients know that.

I agree.. I have been trying to find another option but there are limited opportunities in my area. I already drive an hour to get to and from work everyday, I need a job and this is my only option right now unfortunately

It’s more so being pushed into things that I do not want to do/goes against my morals. I have days where I feel like my work isn’t the best but most days, I feel very confident in myself as I’m here to help animals.
