I learned from watching Seinfeld how to be left alone ( mostly ) and look busy. The tip is to look frustrated. Not with an attitude and not with an air of confusion but look slightly frustrated. I've done this, and it actually works. Edit: I've worked in catty environments also. A way to help avoid drama is to act shy. Smile, look down sometimes, and just act a little shy ( but be a superstar at your job ). I was rarely dragged into drama by doing this. They didn't expect me to talk a lot therefore they didn't approach me with gossip. I overheard but managed to stay away from conversing in it. Talk to them about other things, though, so you're not their next target or see you as stuck up. Edit 2: Last one I swear. Do not ask to go to the bathroom. Say directly "I have to use the restroom." If you ask, it frees them to say no. And if they still say no, be polite but direct "I have to use the restroom right now." Usually they won't ask questions. Be nice but firm. This can also depend on your manager so it may or may not work for you, but it has for me. I would even start walking in the direction of the restroom. Same thing with water. "I'm going to get a sip of water real quick." Don't ask. I've worked in retail sales, office settings and cosmetology for a long time. I've dealt with some 💩.
My sephora manager SUCKED! legit the Worst management I've ever had. She legit never did anything but sit on her fat ass, play on her phone & say she's busy. Such a joke. As soon as she came into my store as a new manager our store went downhill within a few days! It was crazy! They pick and choose what rules to follow and who has to follow them, and when they have to follow them.
I resonate with alot of what you said .. I just quit my store as a client services lead on this past Friday .. they hired a store director who didn’t wear makeup , skincare or know anything about said products . She was an absolute nightmare .. I walked in with almost 14 years of being self taught & almost 6 years at M.A.C & I made it clear .. I wasn’t cocky about it but I’m proud of my makeup background & I feel like that put a huge target on my back because Sephora doesn’t require makeup experience .. which it should ! Sorry but if you don’t know anything about makeup or want to be a beauty advisor .. you’re probably not going to last .. unless you had a store director like mine & she brought over a whole crew to hire from dollarama 😂 🤦🏻♀️
I would love to!! It looks like I will have to pass the esthetician exam just to qualify to put makeup on. I can see why you make a lot more doing makeup independently.
Retail is not my cup of tea. I think the biggest thing is the inconsistency in hours. Man, I like a set schedule. Hey also, you should have an ending line you say at the end of every video. That’d be neat
Literally listed everything that happens at Sephora! I felt targeted at work by the managers my shift were being cut and not given any form of notice I’d have to chase it up with the main manager I didn’t start getting paid until 3 weeks in and that was all my back paid money
Gratis at Sephora is usually once a month, you’ll get gratis along with everyone else excepttttt some of the things that you didn’t get the chance to complete training on since you weren’t there. There will usually be an option to pick your shade after a training video, so those are personalized.
@@DamianaGrande Thank You! No one at work has really explained into details about it and they do not talk about it that much not Unless I kinda asked.. So Yeah I am curious as to when it is gonna really kick in after my Hiring date. Thank You for your response 😊

I would love to!! It looks like I will have to pass the esthetician exam just to qualify to put makeup on. I can see why you make a lot more doing makeup independently.

I just wouldn’t take the items anyway even if it is gratis, just in case I got accused of stealing it’s no fun
