I'm glad your job is going well. That's fantastic. My poor manager is a wreck right now. Her higher bosses came and told her that if we don't meet our quota this week, she gets written up, and if we don't meet our quota next week, she's fired. She's been with the company for 15 years and has worked hard and is one of their best employees. She doesn't handle stress very well and she is terrified of losing her job. It really isn't fair because she does do very well most weeks. We've basically been told that if people aren't buying, it isn't the economy, it's OUR fault that we aren't selling! We were also told that 70% of all studio managers are being let go after the new year. Only the ones that are doing the very best will be kept. I told my manager that I won't stay if she goes, cause they will want me to take over her position, and I refuse. They torment the studio managers. I now have to work murderously hard today to make somewhere in the vicinity of $800 TODAY, cause Saturdays end our week, so that she doesn't get written up, and I only have two customer's lined up all day. I worry about my manager. Her name is Kathy. We've become good friends since I started this job and I pray A LOT for her. Please, if everyone doesn't mind, please say some prayers that we hit goal this week, and every week after this if it's not asking too much! so that she doesn't get written up and fired. She has a mortgage, a car payment, and a child to raise, and she does NOT handle stress well at all. She had me scared Thursday night as she was talking suicide because another mean studio manager told her that if she gets fired it will be because she isn't performing up to her manager's responsibilities, and therefore the company doesn't have to give her unemployement! I printed out the job description for her position and tried to ease her with it because it clearly says the manager is suppose to assist with reaching goals, it does not say the manager is soley responsible for it. Please say prayers that she does not lose her job. Help her make it through the new year and the coming job replacements that are impending. I didn't want to bring anyone down, I just know I'll never make that much money by myself today on only 2 customers. Not going to happen. I'm good, but I'm not THAT good! So, if anyone wants wonderful portraits today, stop in to the Danville
Walmart. We seriously need the money! I'll be offering nice bonuses to my customers today cause I have to make the money. I am more worried about Kathy than I am about making the company's goal. Please, add her into your prayers. I will be praying constantly for her, and I will add her into our prayers at church too. Congrats Shultz, I really am happy for you. I will see how to get to you to get my roo. I hope Rob gets his job back, or a new one soon too. I'll be saying prayers for both of you. I added your family into our prayers at church last week too by the way.
Wonderful, caring people such as yourself need prayers too!
