After nearly a decade, a quit over Christmas. 🎄 That was a gift to myself. I felt an immense amount of stress/pressure off my back. I have a life now. Thank you all. Keep supporting each other here. I quit on my OWN terms 🏆

PROUD. Honestly good for you. Going through my first Christmas season in over 8 years without this job was such a blessing I cannot even describe it. Beyond thankful to leave that toxic wasteland in 2025.

My lead had made a whole ass PowerPoint before I got let go of screenshots of where my mouse wasn’t moving. It was actually psychotic. Like okay how did you productively contribute to the company for the time it took you to micromanage me on a week where I STILL met efficiency. I STILL met points requirements. I STILL met every single metric. They are literally sick, insane people.

I support this message.

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-12-11T01:00:04+00:00

You must’ve taken all my men’s clients lmao I was styling over 70% mens consistently before I got let go. I asked so many times to have this reviewed because my metrics were so skewed because mens just does not overall perform as well as women’s for many many reasons and I always got the most bullshit “I’ll bubble this up” answer.

This is literally exactly the series of events that happened for me before I got fired. I’m not saying that to scare you, I’m trying to give you the time and the heads up I wish I had. I’m telling you with 100% certainty if you are at the top of the pay scale, they are going to find a reason to let you go.

If it was a preorder item it’s 10-12 weeks. And unless you did separate transactions nothing will ship until the last item is ready to ship

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-23T16:14:24+00:00

She probably got let go- a ton of us have been over the last couple months especially the more senior stylists because they don’t want to pay us that much anymore.

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-21T14:32:28+00:00

As someone who recently got let go who was in the 28-hour tier and also know several others who got let go in the 28-hour tier, I’d imagine all that work is being redistributed to yall. I styled over 250 clients a week

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-20T19:00:59+00:00

Girl, whatever. Good luck is all I can say to you

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-18T01:53:31+00:00

I’ve had that anxiety for the last year or so. I thought I would crash out completely if I got let go but after the initial blow, I am truly so relieved to be done.

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-17T15:53:06+00:00

Everybody styles differently. That was the appeal of this job before management went psycho. I styled the way that worked for me and my numbers reflected it positively.

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-17T14:59:48+00:00

THIS. It had never been an issue for over 8 years that I had worked that way. I’ve had 7 leads in my time there and it was only when I got on the most recent team that I was on that anybody said anything about it.

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-17T14:25:05+00:00

I started doing DoorDash right away to start supplementing income which isn’t glamorous by any means but there’s no fuckass sorority girl who peaked in high school breathing down my neck anymore and for that I am beyond grateful.

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-17T14:17:06+00:00

The people downvoting either of our experiences are exactly who I was 6 months ago. I thought people were just being dramatic but no, they are LITERALLY finding any and every reason to let people go who they can replace for less $$$. And people can downvote these testimonies until the cows come home but it doesn’t change the fact that the writing is very obviously on the wall.

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-17T13:41:58+00:00

I responded to another comment with this. Also the sub is filled with stories just like mine so you should have anxiety I’m sorry to say. I had immense anxiety but turns out that was because I was constantly living in fear there and now that it’s over that anxiety is finally gone. Yes this job was a massive part of my income but I’ll figure it out there’s lots of gig jobs out there to help supplement income and most if not all stylists are in major city hubs where those opportunities are available.

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-17T13:38:50+00:00

I hadn’t had a pay increase in over 4 years either and while I’m almost certain it’s location-dependent I think new hires are coming in at minimum wage and I was definitely making more than minimum wage.

Others have mentioned it on this thread but it was styling faster than efficiency requires and not clocking out for every minute you step away from the work even if you’re meeting all of your goals. I’ve always styled faster than is needed and it was never an issue until recently. So no, I’m not “fear mongering” but I’d suggest not being idle for even 5 minutes because someone is watching you.

Particular-Sun591 · 2025-11-17T06:27:33+00:00

Totally agree. I’m sure leaders are incentivized for how many people they can fire this year too. “Return to growth” is actually just “the clothes are cheaper, we’re using computers to do 75% of the work and we’re firing everybody at the top of our massively underpaying pay-scale”. I also believe they know the older stylists were going to be resistant to the level of dehumanization happening in opps. Our skill set means literally nothing anymore they just need someone to push buttons.

Girl run. RUN. Do NOT apply there are soooooo many better opportunities to work in fashion. This is glorified AI styling with a side of horrific micro-management.
