About Kelli...

Just so you know...I use my blog to vent, work shit out in my head & heart, make sense of what doesn't make sense to me.

I was CONFUSED AS FUCK regarding the situation with Kelli!!!  Based on the information that I had...I had to try to make sense of it.  And THIS was my forum for that.

As for the pay rate in debate...I was guesstimating when I said $17/hr.  It actually averages out to be $13.96+.  I just did the calculations.  What I SAW of the texts, she was asking for $13...but said she was willing to lose even $3...(which would be $10...which is what I was told she was getting paid).  When she worked FT, did the books, kept up with sidelines ordering, ran the store in Cindy's absence, did payroll, did scheduling, did ordering, & the umpteen other things she did...she was worth that...

At 1 day a week...SOMETIMES...with her ONLY responsibilities being to process books & take care of customers...$10 was BEYOND FAIR.

You have to look at the whole picture here...her 25+ years of experience...isn't relative in as far as compensation is in debate.

I WILL NEVER MAKE THAT PAY RATE AMOUNT...& I'm the one that's left there, doing everything she used to do, babysitting Cindy & dealing with the daily chaos...5-6 days/week!!!

I LOVE KELLI!!!!  The pay rate was the issue!!  Cindy was never ok with paying her what she HAD to pay her when she was on salary.  She's not going to be ok with paying her almost the same basic pay rate at her diminished capacity.  For me...it was ALL about FAIRNESS.  I will never know what all Kelli knows.  But I'm the one that's there, in the trenches, daily.  Plain & simple...fairness.

I'm sorry me discussing this issue bothered you.  I'm sorry Kelli got hurt.  Maybe I should've confronted Kelli the moment Cindy told me the situation.  But I didn't...cuz it felt so completely out-of-character of her to me.  I was confused.  Cindy is no angel.  She forgets shit.  She makes stuff fit her own ideals.  Maybe she didn't tell me the whole truth.

At this point...IT DOESN'T MATTER!!  What's done is done.  Regardless...my mind will never change as far as just because she has so much experience, she should be entitled to a pay rate that I, myself, can NEVER touch!  She was my teacher.  She was my predecessor.  I don't think badly of her.  I didn't "take Cindy's side".  I was confused & dumbfounded.  That's the end of it.  I don't like how it happened.  I also don't like being judged or feathers being ruffled AFTER THE FACT.  Water under the bridge...

And with THAT...my blog has successfully been moved to another site.  CYA Blogger!
