About a week and a half ago I made a tiktok explaining my situation. Never bad mouthed the company, actually I didn’t say anything about the company. And I explicitly started the video with “if you’re my client just know this isn’t about you and I love you… stay golden” I stated that I make $10/ hr, here’s so background Info (I’m a waxer/esthetician and I work 3days at 9hr and 1day at 7hr. So that’s a total of 340 a week. Which is a whopping $1,360 a month before taxes.) I said in the video “I’d like to have the LUXURIES of getting my hair done, my nails done, but some clothes. But I go broke buying the little things, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, food and gas. So I got a second job serving. I work 7 DAYS A WEEK. I’m tired. I thought that getting a license after HS meant I would be a professional in a field and be paid as a professional in a field. Not saying I should make $30/hr but $10?? I can’t make ends meet!… the entire video was about how our economic climate right now if almost unlivable. It’s definitely not comfortable. SO I received a phone call from a coworker that doesn’t like me and I don’t like her, she tells me she’s seen the video, that I’m wearing a company shirt in the video and that I need to take it down for badmouthing the company. (Which is very small at 10 stores total) I had cut all communications with this woman because she would set me up as a bad person over and over again when I would stand my ground. I decided that if I needed to communicate with her, I’d do it through our boss so, I asked her if our boss asked her to call me and she won’t say anything more that “that’s why we’re talking right now” I told her “I will talk to our boss about it. It’s between employee and manager.” She tells me with a smirk and evil little laugh “oh I am your manager now actually, I over see all hires, fires and suspension.” <- She’s threatening me there. Also we don’t do suspension in the beauty world. We have appointments we need to keep up with. She tells me to take it down and I said that’s fine with me, and then tells me SHES CUTTING MY HOURS BY A WHOLE 9hr DAY!! Now I’ll be making $1,000 a MONTH. That’s my entire rent. She’s pushing me to quit, but I’ve been with the company since they opened, all of my clientele is there. All of my business is there. I feel trapped.
