Straw? Meet Camel. Camel? Meet ground.

I have officially been used as an excuse.

Turned in my two weeks' notice last Saturday. Came to the conclusion that life's too short to spend three days a week trying to be something you aren't and the other four bitching about it. So I respectfully tendered my resignation. Can we keep this quiet? I want to minimise the opportunity for drama. And says The Man, "Sure. We've got to be professional, after all."

Today I get a text message from the other MT in the place: they've fired her, saying she's the reason I jumped ship.
.....
...
.
Um.
No.
She was one of the reasons I lasted as long as I did.
You fired her because you wanted to; we'd have had more respect for you if you'd SAID it like that.
Thanks.
Bye.

Please, someone tell me a story about an AVEDA salon/spa that is actually a rejuvenating place to be. Give me good stories. I don't want to form my whole idea of a corporation based on just this collection of passive aggressive queens.

Please tell me they're not all like this.

Sounds like you're well shut of this place.

Small business ecosystems can sometimes develop such weird power structures.

"Ecosystem" is the perfect word for it, too. It's like walking into a greenhouse where none of the plants have ever seen actual full spectrum light, only green through violet, and the gravity's a little heavy and coming from the corner where one wall meets the floor. None of the plants think they're twisted and strange, but you know something's off, and after a day or two in there, you start to wonder if it's YOU.

Oh, I'm done. They can find two more MTs to play with in their strange little world; there are other places to work in my zip code.
