Judy Is Unhappy With Our Site

Judy went and filed a complaint with the Attorney General's office against our website:





I'm a little confused as to how to resolve this complaint. See, she filed a consumer complaint form, a form you'd fill out if you bought something from a business. Something's Happening In Technology isn't a business. I can't offer her a refund, store credit, or anything else of value. I've stated as much to the Attorney General's office. I haven't heard back from them yet, hopefully because they realize that this website isn't selling a product and is protected by the First Amendment (that's freedom of speech for all you salon owners out there). I'll keep you posted if anything ever develops from this.

horrible place!!!!! 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory1
By Martha S. Evolutions Salon & Day Spa

I had an appointment there to get a haircut from a lady named Judy. I get there and I'm already waiting a half hour and she came up to me and asked if i could go do errands for a little until she finishes her other client. I asked how long it would take and she said about another hour! I would have understood her being late a half hour but to send me away when i had an appointment was my last straw. I'm pretty sure that she was the owner too so there is no excuse for what happened. I will never be going back there.

Comments

I have no way to verify who posted these comments, but they are too good to leave hidden behind a link:

I quit Evolutions and i wrote Judy about when she was planning on sending my check. She wrote back and said that she wasnt going to give me my hard earned money that I earned because she held a grudge against me. I had a very good reason to quit. But no matter what the reason was, legally she has to pay me. How can someone be so heartless as to not pay her employees the money she owes. I only got less than minimum wage anyway.

Judy expected her workers to go out and market themselves which everyone should do anyway but heres the thing...she would call us out of work and tell us to go market without pay and if we didnt we got in trouble. But it gets better...She hired 2 "marketers" one full-time and one part-time. So she pays them to market us and not once did the "marketers" go out and market. I was expected to market with no pay but she can pay a "marketer" Full-time to sit inside and not even market. So heres my advice to her...You need service providers before you hire a "marketer". whats there to market if you dont have anybody to even do the service.

I'd really like to thank whoever posted these comments. If you have more stories to tell, be sure to let us know.

I Don't Accept Your Resignation

Time for us to eat a little crow. We aren't above correcting ourselves when we're wrong. Judy doesn't fire all of her employees, some of them quit because of the crazy. We ran into a former employee over the weekend, and her quitting story is too good not to share. According to the former employee, Judy has a nasty habit of firing people for three hours. This employee didn't want to deal with that, so she left a resignation letter on Judy's desk, then walked out. She got a phone call from Judy later on in the weekend, saying she wouldn't accept her resignation. I've never heard of such a thing from an employer before. I mean, what's she going to do, send the mob out to drag employees who have quit in to work?

But, don't let the fact that some people don't get fired fool you about Evolution's astronomical turn over rate. The entire staff has turned over since December '08. That's a whole new staff in about 5 months. Sounds like the employee retention policy of not accepting resignations isn't working out so well.

Mother's Day Gift

This post probably would have been helpful a few weeks ago, but as a male, I do well to remember to get my own wife a Mother's Day gift, let alone remember to post advice on gifts to all the other slacker guys out there.

Anyway, I'm very excited about the gift I got my wife. I got her a massage package from Illusions Day Spa. I had never bought a massage package before, and my wife has never done that for herself, so I had no idea which package to get. The employees there were so helpful. Mrs. ShitAdmin can't wait to get it done. She'll be sure to write a review afterwards.

Now, I know this is too late for Mother's Day, but do you really need a holiday to pamper that special woman in your life? Why not surprise her with a massage, facial, manicure or pedicure from Illusions Day Spa.

Friendly Advice

It has come to my attention that Judy has taken issue with some of the posts on this blog. She's even contacted the Missouri Attorney Generals office in an attempt to get some of them taken down.
Now, we take pride here in giving helpful advice to our loyal readers; so, here is my humble advice to Judy.

1. If you don't like posts about firing employees on Christmas Eve, don't fire employees on Christmas Eve. Fire them before, fire them after, it dosen't matter. That kind of publicity is never good.
2. If you don't like posts about your high turnover rate, you should really try to retain your employees. Maybe give employees more than five weeks to prove themselves before firing them. Most companies give people at least a six month trial. Constantly investing in new employees is an expensive endeavour.
3. Maybe you don't have great managing talent. That's ok, some people don't. Maybe you could try hiring a personell manager. Oh...fail.
5. Finally, if you don't want to have a huge pool of people ready to voice negative opinions of you online, you shouldn't try to lure people away from stable employment to come work for you, then fire them after five weeks. That puts a whole slew of people in a crummy mood.

So, there's my advice offered with the utmost respect.

Another Negative Review

This time from Insider Pages

Quoting the review:

I saw a special for this place on sale at Sam's club. It was a package that included a haircut, facial, manicure and massage. I thought it seemed a bit suspect, so I called the business and asked them about it. They told me not to buy the package, because they no longer have a massage therapist. They said they weren't supposed to be displaying that at Sam's. However, I just looked them up again online and they are still selling it. I wonder how many people bought these and can't get the massage redeemed. It seems like they should have their act together a little more

I just verified this myself. Judy is still advertising a mini massage deal here when she doesn't have a massage therapist on staff. Be vary weary of what you buy for Evolutions.
