Got something to say?
Carl has no care for “The little People” who are running his gym…unless they are the ones bringing in the sales. I was fired for having an opinion,(which they titled as “unprofessional) but because i could not prove discrimination, i could not sue, meanwhile Male employees who steal from the company and even have a (in company) sexual harassment charge on them, get to stay… why? because they are in sales, and they bring the money in. Customer service should be the #1 priority of the company, but they are the first ones to go when the district manager doesn’t like them asking relevant questions about their compensation. I loved my job and the people I worked with, the district manager was clueless. thanks Carl!
