[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you single out certain clients, you get retribution. Bad reviews, lies told about you -- people find a way to get even when they think you are uppity or acting above your station. It's a lose-lose. Set it as standard practice and people may leave, but it isn't personal in the same way. It's one thing to say it's a shame that stylists are doing this, and you'll have to change. Or unfortunate that they are trying to address the problem this way. But many of you are making it personal here, too -- not just that you acknowledge it's probably a bad business decision. Instead, there's an edge of "how dare she!" Even "she should know her place, or we'll have to show it to her." Am I wrong in reading it that way?[/quote] Because if you follow the thread, the contract is very poorly worded, and there is actually a big problem with one of the clauses, such that you really shouldn't be signing that. Clearly it's something the hairdresser doesn't understand and just pulled from somewhere, so the educated people here, who can actually read and understand contracts, aren't happy at being told to sign a ridiculous one. If the contract is reasonable, I'm sure no one would have trouble signing it. [/quote] Fair enough, but I'll ask again: It's one thing to say it's a shame that stylists are doing this, and you'll have to change. Or unfortunate that they are trying to address the problem this way. But many of you are making it personal here, too -- not just that you acknowledge it's probably a bad business decision. Instead, there's an edge of "how dare she!" Even "she should know her place, or we'll have to show it to her." Am I wrong in reading it that way? If someone less educated is making an error when backed into a corner, why is that anger the response? Shouldn't it be pity, or sorrow, or regret, or something? [/quote]
