INGLOT unveiled

Hmmm now this one might not be a popular opinion but this is MY opinion on the whole INGLOT unveiled type scandal going around Instagram at the moment.

on the one side I can completely sympathise with a lot of the girls who feel victimised or bullied or who feel that the working conditions weren't good (and if it was as you say there is a better way to deal with it that on social media!) But the other side I'm looking at it from my eyes. A business owner and a past shop worker.

Things like this come up every now and again and it actually makes my blood boil, the way some people use social media to put their views across which is totally fine but when it gets to the stage where it is also really harming someone else's reputation that they've worked very hard to get, not to mention paved the way for smaller bloggers or influencers thats when I think you should draw the line and just stop.

I've watched Jane avidly over the years from I discovered INGLOT as a brand and I truly admire her, she is in fact a Boss lady everyone could take some inspiration from daily! now this isn't me sucking up to anyone because I very much doubt Jane knows who I am. and I'm actually quite shocked to see this all come about because any other scandal has been kept hush hush as I think it should be in any company. Especially when I imagine INGLOT in Ireland possibly has hundreds of employees therefore has hundreds of egos! There’s bound to be disputes and we all know just how bitchy a bunch of girls can get! And I know for a fact there is no way I could cope with that! 

I've seen Jane push makeup artists and see they're very well looked after, I've seen her promote her artists on social media, help them grow a following and then seen it be thrown back I her face when they leave with a good clientele or following that she helped them get!

Someone mentioned that INGLOT girls were not allowed to promote other brands, well doesn't that make sense? I'd be pretty cross if any of our employees were promoting another hair salon or a different brand! To me if you're representing a brand or company that would be a given.

Bullying in the work place! well this is a good one. I think now a days (gosh don't I sound old) the word bully or bulling gets thrown around and is used waaay to much, the same as anxiety, and I sincerely apologise if you do genuinely feel bullied or do genuinely have anxiety. But it seem now you aint anybody if you've got through life without having experienced either. It seems like if you don't do well somewhere you couldn't dare own up and say my bad I didn't work hard enough or I got reprimanded, no you claim you get bullied! And to throw that into the mix now, what you're doing by starting a hate campaign against someone is in fact bullying!!

I read on one of the posts about someone being reported by a friend of the owner for chatting and not working....ummm its called work for a reason! its not called hanging out with my mates time! It actually really annoys me when I'm in a shop or eating out somewhere and feel like I'm invisible because the three or four staff that are on their shift just want to giggle and gossip among each other. so if I knew who to report that to every time I was out you think I wouldn't?? And if my friend owned a makeup empire and I noticed her staff slacking I’d be letting her know! 

Also the same goes for the girl who claimed she ONLY got an hour break on a Saturday! girl wana switch places with me? want to know what I done last Saturday on my lunch?? I cleaned the toiled and washed the dishes while trying to eat a wrap and down a cup of luke warm coffee, in between my clients. Some girls wouldn't know a full days work if it came up and bit them in the bum!! This is my genuine opinion of the generations coming up into the workforce now. They look at you funny if you ask them to sweep the floor, which in a salon is where you'll be starting off, and still 12 years down the line you will still see me sweeping the floor. 

This attitude of the worker is always right, the rules don't apply to me and how dare you make me actually work for a living is in fact the destruction of the work force and the youth of today. I don't know where you get it from but someone has to put a stop to it! before the whole of man kind can't function because our mummies are no longer here to hold our hands and tell us it wasn't our fault it was everyone else! They are like spoilt children, if They don’t get their own way they’ll  huff and puff untill they do get their own way, or if not they’ll bring you down with them! 

I also assume that it can’t be that bad when some of you guys claim to have been working for 6 years, I don't know about you but if I was truly miserable somewhere I doubt I wouldn't be there 6 months let alone 6 years. 

There's also serious whiff of Jealousy that some girls get promoted over others on Instagram...where would you all be if Instagram shit itself and died overnight? its not what the world revolves around (need to remind myself of that sometimes too) also others get promotions over other girls....um duh that's the real world! you cant just climb to the top just because you want to. That is where you have to work hard to prove you're up for the job!

As I said at the beginning this is only my opinion but I know that I'll continue to be an INGLOTADDICT and support the brand.
