I have been working in sally beauty in the long island location (levittown) for 2 years now ? But i am debating on quitting and i genuinely stopped giving a shit about this job. Personally the only reason why i stayed in this job is because i am working in film and it is associated with makeup and hair. I learned a lot of hair products from working here and hair types from every customer. That i apply this to my main job. (I am a full time makeup artist in film). But as of recently my 2 managers have made it difficult for me to stay. I made it clear that i work either 1-2 weeks on a film set. Sometimes i have to travel out of state. For 2 weeks a lot. Or if necessary i will work in a month on 1 feature film. They do make comments on my call outs. But i make more money when im freelancing (debating on my call sheet times). I prefer having a second income or job just so i can have money aside for more projects. But its hard finding a job that is willing to allow you to take days off or time off in a month. I appreciate my manager to have given this time off to focus on my job. Because not a lot of managers give a shit. And most of my colleagues are younger than me in college.. (Im 27female). And they take this job seriously while i dont give a fuck about retail.
But as of recently my care to customer service dropped to me not giving a fuck. I will be straight up with my customers. None of that fake nice customer service voice will be there. I stopped telling customers to sign up for the credit cards. And im not forcing them to buy more things (relating to upt). My managers are present mostly. And i know i give them reasons to fire me or something. But the reason why I’m staying is until something big happens thats when Im quitting. I do hate that one of them plays favourites with other coworkers of mine. Like bro i genuinely don’t care anymore. Even my own coworkers act like they know their shit. Or have better experiences. But im still neck deep in my career that i have my shit together and im ready to walk away or even block all of them.
I respect this job for what i learned and what advice or expertise i offer to customers. I just genuinely hate retail and its boot licking managers and coworkers to meet their standards. It disgusts me. But i respect the people that work in these jobs.
