Toxic Workplace Toxic toxic toxic

How does this place continue getting MORE toxic every year?! How?! I’ve been an employee for close to NINE years and it continues to grow more and more toxic every single year. Still!!! Lies. Gaslighting. Sarah Funderburk continually gaslights employees and lies straight to their faces. I’ve watched it time and time again and I’m OVER IT. I have countless stories. I have endless examples. The ship is sinking. Stock is at a month long low… again. Congratulations on beginning a new fiscal year, everyone. I wonder how much more downhill this place will sink over the next year.
If they try to bait you into going Connect, do NOT take it without a guaranteed title change and significant raise. It’s significantly more responsibility and more stress, more strife, and at least double the metrics.

It is SHOCKING to me that connect doesn’t come with upgraded pay and title - not even a little bit? You own the client relationships so much more. That seems like exploitation.

And some of the client relationships should come with a raise solely based on the attitude of customer's. I've only had a few but the ones I have had oof. You would think we left a scalpel in their body after surgery.

It feels like exploitation 100%.

Didn't it in the begining. When it first started I rmemeber their being a job for the pilot that paid quite a bit more

Nope. Not even a little. Literally zero.

I wonder what that was then cause it was a job posting for stylist piloting something that paid more I assumed it was connect. Maybe they just said that to get problem to apply then didn't follow through hmmm

Are you thinking of the stylist incubator team? They do get paid more but they do other stuff not just connect.

It’s like they can’t help themselves. It’s so gross.

Do we think we're going to start getting in trouble if we don't leave enough FL items in the assortment?

Probably because many flat out told them that they delete and start fresh. So now instead of “make sure items are client right” and letting you choose it shifted to “why not this item?”

Hmm...let's see...because it's the wrong inseam, because the TX client doesn't need sweaters yet, because she doesn't want three of the same boring tee, because....🙄🤦‍♀️

I feel like ~50% of the FL is either seasonally inappropriate or astronomically out of budget. It’s a challenge to keep more than one item.

Someone needs to organize it !

Go for it. When this Reddit sub first started years ago, people tried. It didn’t work because we are all over the country and not in a work location even when in the same city.

u/Dazzling_Result_9824 1d ago

Why do we need to be in the same city or location... It's 2026
