The company I worked for the past 7 years closed very unexpectantly last Wednesday. I was told at 2pm on Wed I would no longer have a job and I had to go back at 9:30 that night and fire 12 of my very good friends. A lot of girls had been with me for 3-4 years. We closed our doors that night to never re-open. As you can imagine our customers are very mad too, as many people had packages they had just bought. It has been very overwhelming. The owner is allowing me to get a fraction of my hours in Kingsport and Bristol stores. Although when I work the calls are overwhelming with customers yelling, cussing, etc. They think as the manager I knew we were closing, and I had no idea. The owner is saying she will re-open somewhere else in JC, but will the customers come back...this is our busy season now? Please pray for strength for me, and to make a decision as to whether or not to stay. It is hard because I have always made my own schedule and work days when my boys are in school and nights during the summer. That kind of schedule is hard to find, plus having a job I loved going to everyday.

I would be mad too, the not knowing is the hard part. I dont know if I would be able to stick with working for this woman. If she was honest she would have given you a heads up on the closing. she could do this again anytime. Being a customer.. she will be losing alot because of the way she does business. Maybe you can get on at another tanning place as a manager and be able to make the hours you want to. I understand if you want to keep working with her to keep the same benefits with making your own hours though. Hey more time for camping and eating out with the girls.......
We need to go out soon and get a drink this time.. you and Kristi need it!!
