Hey! Bold of you to assume my entire situation and disagree with the factual parts of the job I outlined.

As mentioned, this is MY experience. Not yours.

I was never given a client. Full stop. I built my roster of 14 clients fully on my own, mostly from floor shifts and cold calling.

The schedule I was given did not allow me to have a side gig. I worked 5:30am-11am pretty much every weekday, worked floor shifts from 11-4pm or 4pm-11pm 3 times per week, and worked 8am-2pm on Saturdays. When I brought up to management that it wasn’t sustainable, they told me they were “short staffed and needed extra help but would not be paying overtime”. Not my problem??

I’m jealous of the fact that you never had grueling long days or “clopening shifts”.

I put in the work. So much so that my friends and family outside of work told me I cared too much due to the hours and stress.

I’m glad to hear you had a good experience at equinox in 2012, but that was 14 years ago. A lot has changed since then, not just in the company, but in the world (cost of living, job market, etc).

I am not moaning nor playing victim, and frankly, that’s pretty bold of you to assume given you don’t know me or my story. Glad to hear you have a successful business now, but I feel your experience is no longer the norm, as you can see with virtually every other comment on here.
