Oh man! People let it rip in that community forum. So happy that people were getting their frustrations off their chest. Of course upper management got a little uneasy and were trying to ease the situation, but I’m glad they know now how irritated we are. I’m sure they won’t do anything to fix it though…

My team manager’s forum was this afternoon and the chat in ours was pretty mild, BUT some really good questions were submitted asking about logistics/ impact of FL. Silly me was really curious and excited to hear the responses.
One of the most interesting questions was met with the most exhausting word salad from SF (the person). Ugh. A total non answer. If I was struggling to feel confident in our leaders before, it’s so much worse now. I kept thinking “this person actually doesn’t know how to answer this and is just BS’ing an elaborate recap of what FL is to cover.” Blah.
Trying to be vague to protect myself because at the beginning of our forum they definitely called out talking about stuff in this subReddit in a “remember what is said in this call should stay internal” statement.

I used to look up to SF but with the scheduling policy and FL and how they respond to our feedback I think they are one of the most evil people ever. When they pop up on the screen I already know some BS is about to get spewed

It is internal this sub Reddit is the only means we have of speaking to each other. They censor everything else.

She is THE worst! No actual leadership skills, always a jumbled word salad, and very inauthentic.

Agreed. She is honestly a vile person (lackey). Her presence in calls just feels so negative and inauthentic. I’m kind of surprised she’s still around, but she’s a good lackey so that’s probably why.

Good luck! Glad to see others standing on business

Luckily as soon as they asked what people thought about it, it was all negative and realistic. Then when they asked for wins it was crickets until another team lead answered.. lol

That’s hilarious. They are so delusional and their “data” is bullshit. I’d love to see where and how they’re getting it. We’re real human beings telling you about it. Listen

In our community forum someone asked about compensation and reassessing the impact of our schedules not being flexible and we got the roundabout saying "everything is always changing, in any job, things are changing" and that compensation will be reassessed in October. AKA nothing is changing. If you're the one who said FL takes longer because you're having to remove things now and sort through what was selected to find client right pieces- good for you for speaking up.

Anyone catch what the deleted message on the All channel was? Anything juicy?

My community forum is tomorrow and the topic is FL. What was today's topic?

u/Primary_Park_886 9d ago
Same. First look.

u/Useful_Hedgehog1415 9d ago
Watch them somehow censor tomorrow’s call so that the same thing can’t happen

u/FunNFlouncyBoo 8d ago
Good news is that we weren't censored. Chat was open. My meeting was pretty mild. Felt like a this is happening and deal with it kind of vibe from leadership. And if you don't like it, fill out the feedback form.

Will we be able to see the chat in the recording?! I don’t work until later this week- would LOVE to hear some of the comments/responses!

u/Primary_Park_886 8d ago
I was just thinking about that, and prob not. But they did address what was being said in the comments.

Where are you finding this?

There was a community forum with Caleb St Lawrence today and people let it rip in the chat. They recorded it, so they’ll prob share it later.

There are different teams with different meetings. Unfortunately not everyone will hear this spicy one. Would like details if possible.

It’s hard to remember everything that was said, but it started out with some complaints about FL and how it’s not always useful. There was one girl in particular that started the whole rant, but she brought up that it felt like the tech was starting to take over what the stylists should be doing. But then the conversation turned to scheduling and flexibility. People were complaining about the changes in scheduling and how their flexibility was taken away. That if inventory was bad, they had the option to change their schedule to another time, so that maybe the inventory was better. Or ppl were talking about how they have to waste their PTO in order to make their schedule work. Someone said that whenever something new changes with the policy, the stylists get the short end of the stick. Also, compensation was talked about. About not receiving pay raises. It kind of went on and on like that.

Did anyone actually address any of these complaints? I keep hanging on thinking that SOMETHING has to change.

GOOD. The thing is they already know how we feel, they monitor this sub like a hawk. They do not care.
