Maggie, I read gobs of stuff on the subject of negative personalities years ago, because of a situation I was in. And one thing that stuck in my head was negative personalities control you. If they can change the way you feel about something, then they are controlling you. If you don't accept their negative "issues" then they are not controlling you and in return you are still positive. Basically, do not accept being controlled.
On that note, better said than done. Have to say, that I have stopped the negative around me in certain circumstances with remembering this theory. But in reality, if you have so much around you, can't get away from it!!!! These type of people have miserable lives, not just negative in the working atmosphere, but at home too, and Gawd help the poor waitress if they screw up!!!!I think in your case these people are blaming the salon owner for their whole lives because they can't take responsibility. And it won't change. I think it is HARD to find a salon without the negative personalities, like Lynnette said. I have a great salon, we have one negative person, but Lordy Be, don't have to work with her all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
