Things are Getting Ugly at the Gym.....

  1. Friday the other front desk woman told me a trainer friend of New Weird Boss Guy was bringing in peopl for a boot camp on Saturday morning.
    Saturday mornin te guy showed up with a total of 7 people. One of the people came in with WNBG and was talking to him, but I said hello eventhough she seemed pretty stand-offish. Big Boss saw me check the other new ones in, welcome them, give out towels etc. I had everyone fill out their information sheets before the class started.
    At one point WNBG came up to check a sign in sheet and only saw one sign in (he's looking for email addresses). I told him I had their email addresses on the papers they have to fill out before working out.

    Anyway, yesterday I got in and the other front desk lady said she had something to show me. She had a print out of an email WNBG had sent EBL and BB. In it, he totally slams both of us. He tells them he asked his ex her impression of me on Saturday morning and she told him she thought I was unfriendly and didn't offer her a towel or a locker. I was busy with othes, she'd been there before and knows where the towels are, plus she was talking to WNBG!!
    Then he complains that I didn't get anyone's email address when I specifically told him I had infor on everyone in the class in a folder I made up!!!
    He also tells the bosses that the other front desk lady and I had 14 days to promote the boot camp and we didn't!!!!
    He ended the letter telling EBL and BB that we need to be replaced FAST and that the gym can't afford having such terrible people working at the front desk!!!
    Of course he just so happens to have some friends who would be perfect for the front desk as our replacements!

    I'm SO mad as is the other lady!
    I told EBL (who doesn't like WNBG and wants us to stay) tat I got everyone's infor on their sign up papers. Then she asked both of us if we'd been told to promote the boot camp and we both said no. I told her I actually didn't know about it til Friday and that I thought it was an independent trainer thing and that it didn't include our clients.
    She confronted WNBG who lied to her face and insisted he'd told us to promote it!

    To make matters worse he had a new "customer service liaison" lady there yesterday. She sat with me at the front desk and I was getting her contact infor for old clients. She jumped in and was very aggressive toward any customers who cam in. A few of them asked me afterwards who in the world she was and what her problem was.
    I closed the gym and was telling GG all of this. He says he'd love to coplain about the new lady and sing my praises - I told him to go for it!

    EBL wants the new guy and his buddies - including the new lady - to fail. She even suggested I have some friends come in and then call and complain about the new service lady while complementing me
    Whether I end up chosing to stay at the gym (if I don't get fired in the next week) or not, it upsets me to read something like what WNBG wrote about me. (Of course we weren't intended to see it, but EBL printed it for us).

    We'll see what happens today.....

  3. Oh GD, that's awful! You are a wonderful person who seems to have a very genuine heart. I can't imagine someone saying something like that bout you! I will go with GG to compliment you! I hate that you have to go thru this! Sending you lots of white light and some hugs from me and headbonks from the girls! Know you are better than them! (((GD)))

  4. Thanks Lynn and MC!
    I'm so upset I don't know how I'm going to stand working with WNBG! He's got 4 weeks left of his non-paid trail. After that, he hopes to have to the gym turned around and to get paid 6k a month for his services!! He's been there 4 weeks and hasn't turned anything around, so maybe I need to just hang in there and wait til his time is up, because tey certainly arent't making enough money to pay him what he asks.

  5. One good thing is that GG and his family have come to the gym forever and what they say will not be taken likely. I'm friendly with both sons and their dad so that should help.

  6. *passes GD a turbo-charged, nuclear warheaded whack-bonk stick to hit WNBG with*

    That's rotten GD, sorry to hear you've been upset. I'm a little of of the loop here, what about the other job you were doing? Is that going OK? Are you nearly at the stage where you can tell the gym lot to sod off anyway?

    ((hugs}}

  7. GD, that WNBG has given them a crock of poopy stuff. Sounds like he is panicking because he hasn't turned anything around and is trying to show what a big efficient brilliant harda** new guy he is so he can demand his money out of them.

    EBL's suggestion is DEFINITELY worth considering for you and other front desk lady too, this guy doesn't deserve to get away unchallenged with what he's done. Anyone who knows you (and even though I only know you from TDK) knows what a fantastic, considerate, kind, welcoming person you are. Big {{{HUGS}}} and I hope Bobby and Mi help you forget about horrible work today!

  8. ((GD)) wow what a crock of well, you know...that just stinks. I hope you can get out of there soon and put all the crap behind you!

  9. Speaking of crap, I have to get back to work...laters!

  10. GD, that's awful to put up with someone who will lie to get ahead. It's good that you have some people on your side who know that you are a good worker and customer-oriented. I so hope that this man gets exposed for the cheat he is!

  11. Thanks, everone!
    MCW, the new job is okay, but I'm afraid I'm not very good at it. I haven't set any appointments in over a week while the other two are setting 2-4 a day. I like the people I work with there but I don't know how long they'll keep me around if I don't produce :(

    WNBG comes in Monday, Wednesday and Friday usually, so at least today he won't be around. We'll see what happens when I get in.

    It just makes me really angry because if this idiot took some time to observe, he'd realize the customers and I get along really well and that I'm the LAST person to blame for the gym not doing well.

  12. GD, do you have anything in writing from customers? Emails, thank you cards, anything? Might be an idea to gather what you can...what a jerk!

    Posted 3 months ago by MadcatwomanintheUK #

  13. You have good reason to be angry and hurt, GD! I hope all this can get resolved and that your clients will stand up for YOU!

  14. Well at least I know GG will. And one of the trainers was so upset he emailed BB and EBL to tell them how wrong WNBG is.

    Posted 3 months ago by GreatDane #

  15. Glad that there are now emails in your favor. If WNBG lied about you in writing then that is libel.

  16. wow, sorry you are going through this GD. Sounds like you and I can commiserate on our jobs being a bit hellish at the moment. I agree with getting any compliments in writing. Always good to have a recommendation in writing from your customers or coworkers.

    Hope things work out for you and WNBG gets the boot soon. Bobby and Mi, please be extra good for your momma tonight.

    What a mess, GD. I hope things get better for you soon, either at the gym or the new job or both.

  18. If WNBG has lied about you front desk girls promoting the boot camp what else has he lied about to EBL. Wonder where he worked last. What a creep!

    Posted 3 months ago by Moonshadow_NZ #

  19. Yep - he's definitely lying to save himself or to save face because only 7 people came to attend the boot camp.
    He sent me an email reminding me to tell people about the classes. He also reminds me to ask people if they want a towel and a locker before they can ask for it. Stupid! Unlike him, I know our customers and I know who wants a locker and which locker number they prefer! Arrrrgh!

    My tennis team practices don't start til September, so I was really starting to hope I could keep both jobs til then and make some money and get some things taken care of :(

    Is the weekend here yet?

    Posted 3 months ago by GreatDane #

  20. GD keep asking about the weekend for another 3 days and it will be here.

    Posted 3 months ago by Moonshadow_NZ #

  21. Yay, weekend!!!!! :)

    Posted 3 months ago by GreatDane #

  22. Anticipation can be sweet.

    Posted 3 months ago by Moonshadow_NZ #

  23. wow...that's really something else...i have a person who likes to be a hypocrite and stalker creep who we could lock him up with!
