What would you do if an employer took advantage of you?

I have worked for several florists and have a associates degree in floriculture. When I came to town, I got a job as a florist. I was new %26amp; they wouldn't listen to any of my background training, opting to use the advice of girls that "learned on the job".





I was given a chance to move to another shop in town. The entire group of girls quit that florist and moved along with me. The nice thing, was that here, I was given more respect %26amp; was often the first consulted on problems. I was the wedding %26amp; funeral specialist %26amp; the only one that could tie a pretty bow (not trying to brag...just being realistic).





Well, I had problems with one of the women who I have found out was a back stabber, %26amp; I let the employer know that i was going to quit if it didn't stop. She gave everyone all of the ____ work to do %26amp; sat around talking on the phone. Come to find out, she was a long time friend of the employer. I quit. Now they are talking badly about me. How can I save my reputation?

If you found on your own that this woman is a back stabber, then I'm sure everyone else knows her true nature. It's always best to leave people like that alone because they ultimately hang themselves in the end. They are the products of their own undoing and they always get their just penalty.





Do not concern yourself about what this kind of trash says about you. You have moved on. Eventually, the owner may come to realize that her business has suffered due to the loss of your expertise and hopefully will assign the blame where it belongs. Just remember one thing, many long lasting friendships have died due to money. Don't be surprised if the employer gives the longtime friend the boot.
Reply:nothing cuz i was in my own personal h*ll at the time
Reply:If they've done this to you, they've done it to other people. Just get a job somewhere else and don't worry about what they say. If you're asked what happened, be honest. I'm sure you're not the only one who knows that this employer plays favorites with her lazy friend.





The next time a situation like this comes up, however, think twice about quitting...I did the same thing last summer and regret leaving that job now because the employee who was causing me grief isn't there anymore.
