I'm really trying here people

I am trying so hard to not be snarky.  My cousin's girlfriend is a spin instructor and I asked her if she wanted to teach for me maybe once a week.  She isn't great, but she is practically family, so I am doing her a favor. 

Right now I have more instructors than classes because everyone wants to work for me. 

My only rule is that you cannot teach spin anyplace else in this town if you work for me.  She basically has been sending me these emails that sound like her thinking out loud to me.  She doesn't want to leave gym xxxx because of yyyy and also because of zzzz.  I don't care.

I told her that I will put her on the sub list because her situation sounds too complicated. 

Re: I'm really trying here people

  • You were trying to do her a favor.  If she's going to be that complicated and undecided about it now, I can only imagine how high maintenance she'll be once you open.  I think keeping her as a sub is fair, based on that.

  • It sounds like she wants you to convince her to work there... I wouldn't play along.

    THIS is what I thought too!  Yeah, I am not begging anyone or reaching out to anyone.  They can come to me, we can chat, they can teach.  It is really that simple if they want it to be.

    I was thinking this too. She's fishing for "I need you" . When we all know you don't. Ugh.

  • Yeah, I am not playing that game.

    Starting a business is complicated enough. You need solid, dependable, no drama employees

    yeah, that's what it sounds like. 

    Good for you for standing your ground early on the rules!

     

    Are you going to run a Groupon or Living Social deal to pump up the clientele after you open?

  • I think maybe next year we will do deals like that Erin.  They are great ways to get some new faces in the building for sure.

    Don't do people favors. They never see it that way. You will never feel appreciated for the offering of said favor.
