This week I had to fire an employee for breaking their contract with my employer. Now we will call this employee Andy...and Andy has been a complete mess, emotional -perhaps bi polar..and this person always caused problems within the spa. This should be easy, it will definately make my life easier. However this is no easy task, Andy is working right down the road and has signed a no compete contract. This contract states he cannot work within a 5 mile radius for 12 months after working with the spa. Now he is less than a mile down the road and working both places! ah!
I scheduled my appointment with Andy in his "new" spa. It is a nice Hotel Spa and thank goodness for the "calming" environment, my nerves were shot! I pre paid my treatment and relaxed with a wonderful white tea with coconut. Boy I miss Hawaii. However, my inner voice and backgound music paid Tom Petty's~ I Won't Back Down..and when Andy shows to pick up his client I say "Oh I hoped it wasn't you" and ask for his resignation due to his obvious breach of contract. Pass him his documentation and copy of contract, shake his hand and hold my head up high.
What a beautiful day. Sun shining...a new day. I made the choice to not fire a person on hearsay. I did make the choice to fire someone on someone else's home turf. Guess that's one for the books. (betcha that's not the last time we hear from Andy) Now onward ~ I have to hire a new therapist and assistant!
