I was a groomer at this location developing a good clientele. My Father just passed away and I had to go out of town to handle personal matters and assured the owners that I would be back within a few weeks to a month.
My clients were VERY understanding but the owners, Kelly and Jeff decided they rather close the salon temporarily and PART WAYS instead of wait for me to come back. They felt that I was being indecisive with my timeframe and immediate plans, wanting answers on the day before I was leaving and then announcing they were parting ways, instead of giving me a moment to catch my breath and start my grieving process. I mean who does this?
There is a time and place for everything and this was certainly not the time.
Never have I experienced such a lack of empathy and understanding from another human being!
In just a short period of time working for them I had proven to be a loyal and reliable employee, even helping them get through a rough patch and assured them my plan was to return, even if it was in a part-time capacity.
People need to stop and realize the world doesn't revolve around them and show some empathy and compassion towards others, especially during their time of loss! read more
