Hi All,
I told on last night’s thread about my issues with the women who I work for in the subdivision, how they were coming in to gang up on me today and, as they put it, see if I am WORTH the trouble they perceive me to be….well. The meeting went very, very badly, it was actually quite bizarre, and they said things to me that would never have been said in front of anyone. I gave my notice, which of course is what they were after. They acted shocked that I would not give in to their demands (work for them on days that I am already booked for Lancome.) I should mention that I have worked for many months, since June 10 actually, and made $800 total commission. I am owed about $2800 on two contracts coming in, which is why they want me to leave. Lancome pays me for a day’s work and treats me well. They have kept me from going under with this bad market. Anyway, I had to call the broker about what happened. She said that we all needed to meet under her supervision to work out a fair and equitable “exit.” When the message reached those two that I went to the broker, they became enraged, since there is nothing that irks a bully more than when you call on someone more powerful than them. One of them came to the subdivision at 5:45 to fire me. Unfortunately for her, buyers were in the subdivision and I was showing them around and getting their info, so she had to stand around and cool her heels till I was done, which I’m sure is not how she envisioned it. She told me to leave and never come back and not to work the month’s notice. I remained calm and showed her all of the client files and notes, and where I had kept things. She was forced to stand there and say “thank you.” I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders as I breezed out the door…and after working 7 days a week all summer and six days a week the past 3 weeks, I am OFF TOMORROW!!! I work for Lancome Thursday and Friday and am OFF ON SATURDAY!!! Also, at today’s team meeting I won tickets to see REO Speedwagon at Chastain on Saturday, and instead of rushing there after leaving the subdivision at 6, I will have all afternoon to prepare! WOOHOO!!!
