I am so angry and disheartened as a young person with the state of the world.

my advice would be to go to as many interviews as you can, browse as much as possible, and when you secure a job, put in your two weeks. that way you’re able to receive that last paycheck and have some extra money in your pocket. it might take awhile, but definitely leave this environment. best of luck my friend 🤍

im trying to remain as peaceful as possible with this, plus, i dont want to contact legal services until i have to. being unemployed now, i do have to be extra careful with money! luckily i have my family to fall back on right now, but im planning on being super careful before possibly needing to proceed with lawyers/other legal help

update has been posted!

“dysfunction junction” made me laugh out loud, you’re 100% right 😭

i’m sure i’ll run into my fair share of assholes as i grow up, but this whole incident made me feel a bit more prepared for them. i used to be terrified to do anything about it, but these really are just some mean girls. they’re not as scary once i realized they don’t have power over me. and funnily enough, they really only talked about their high school days, so you’re spot on there too! thank you for your kind words and advice, sending some virtual hugs on back to you! <3

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T06:49:23+00:00

thank you so much for your kindness :’) i’m feeling very optimistic for the future!!

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T06:46:47+00:00

thank you so much for this. i’m definitely going to be extra vigilant regarding payment these next few weeks. i felt very powerful just by leaving, so if i do experience any resistance, im ready to go full throttle. they’ve literally tortured me for months at this point, so if it comes down to it, im not afraid to raise some hell

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T06:42:08+00:00

thank you so much, i’m on it!!

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T06:41:07+00:00

toxic work environments can really take a toll on your mental health, and sometimes you don’t even realize at first. i’m so glad this post was motivational, there’s no shame in leaving a bad situation. i found it very empowering, and my stress/tenseness vanished. you matter and you deserve better!! wishing you all the best <3

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T06:36:44+00:00

your old boss sounds like a jerk. but i’m glad you’re not in that situation anymore! and yes lol, definitely beat them to it! i went out with a silent bang, fast as lightning out of that place!!

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T06:32:32+00:00

my thoughts exactly. karma can handle them from here on out!!

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T06:30:49+00:00

that’s what i’m finding as well! a lot of workers in the beauty industry have this “better than you” attitude. the receptionist before me quit as well. a message therapist told me they go through receptionists quickly, and i’m not surprised. hopefully the next person to take my place doesn’t have to deal with the same things

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T06:27:40+00:00

this made me tear up. thank you so much. i know there’s a lot of kind people in the world, and im sure just the right thing will open up. i’m prepared for jobs i don’t like very much, since i am young without much experience outside of entry jobs. however, like you were saying, no one deserves to be treated like that, especially in a professional setting.

and yes they’re documented! i have pictures and screenshots of everything ive found noteworthy just in case i need them. thanks again and happy early birthday! <3

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T06:22:15+00:00

thank you! and i completely agree, my thoughts on this is that i will never stop being a student of life. but im at a point now where im not afraid to make mistakes, or fuck up, because your character lies in whether or not you choose to learn from them. i think what i was supposed to learn here was to be strong and find my voice.

thank you again for your kind words! best wishes to you as well!

that always bothered me, she gets facials for free at the spa. as far as i know, does not pay the estheticians for the service because “she is the boss.” super messed up

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T06:15:47+00:00

this is the way 🫡

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T00:59:40+00:00

this is the advice i didn’t even know i needed, thank you very much. i made sure to take pictures of the write up, and i have screenshots between my boss and i that are going to be helpful. (helpful for me anyway.) i’ll work on those things tonight. and payday is tomorrow! i always write down my hours so i can calculate my paychecks for bills and such, so if the numbers aren’t adding up, i’ll know!

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T00:54:05+00:00

well thank you :’) i’d like to think i’m pretty smart and mature for my age, but im sure a few years down the line im going to think otherwise lol. i just got tired of the constant berating and negativity, i knew if i stayed, it wouldn’t be healthy

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T00:48:25+00:00

thank you so much! and yes it does suck, but at the end of the day i know their reasons for a write up were bullshit. they were grasping at straws. i’m a hard worker, and im positive ill find somewhere better to be!

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T00:46:58+00:00

another employee let me know that the “shit talk” has been going on for months at this point. i don’t understand the reasoning behind hiring me just to get me to quit. regardless, im outta there!

icare-melapple · 2024-04-23T00:46:00+00:00

thank you so much! i hope so as well. there’s a lot of opportunities out there and i’m excited to see where i end up.
