The move & the drama

Okay so there's a lot. But I need make this one thing clear. I do appreciate working for this company and the staff. That being said these are the reasons I moved....
Lack of management
Drugs being done in the shop
Inconsiderate of coworkers
The shit talk was insane
Backstabbing was insane
I was getting paid the exact same thing as rookies when it came down to percentages.
Inconsiderate for clients
The drama in the shop in between coworkers
Taking supplies without letting people know
Not replacing the supplies when they were taken
Shops lack of supplies
Nobody answering the phone
Spam calls were insane
Overpricing the tattoos for new clients from the rookies
My personal favorite. Hiring somebody into the shop that disrespects one person in particular.
Firing a person for lack of good reason and replacing them with a woman abuser.
Hiring a woman abuser
Lack of communication
Lack of camaraderie or teamwork
Unfortunately at this time I can't think of anything else but I know there's more LOL.
But I need to reiterate this I really don't have a problem with the staff or the owners. Sometimes you end up with a situation you don't know how to deal with. Or a tough decision to make. I have respect for these people so I am not pointing fingers or placing blame anywhere. It's a tough thing being a boss or a manager. It's hard being a father/ family man to make the best decision for your family in situations such as this and I get it.
That being said I I am focused on my family and I'm making sure that I don't make any bad decisions or react in poor emotions that can lead me into losing everything.
If you want more details you will definitely have to come to the shop and get tattooed because this is as far as it's going to go when it comes to the gossip that's online
Please guys interact with this post let's get a conversation LOL I want to try something new out.

Sorry all this happened and you had to deal with all that. Keep on keeping on.
Oh damn, that all stinks! Do you already have a place in mind to set up next?
Sorry to hear that but glad you are doing right by you and your family. Sucks that you had just redone/rebranded your space. Are you looking for a new shop and working out of the trailer for the time being?
Damn dude I gotta get some time off and come get my tattoo and get more of this drama
Where did you move to?
