I never once mentioned that the management at Allure weren't running a decent spa. I've been going to Allure for over 5 years now, and it has always been a great spa to go to.
I don't think that managers should have to come onto a discussion board and justify the reasons as to why MPA's have left their spa.....I totally agree with you. That is what this discussion board is about. If people have certain feelings about why they think MPA's left, then this board is a forum to discuss those feelings. It would be the same situation if an NHL player quit his team. People would speculate, or give their opinion as to why it happened. Some may have even spoken to the source to find out their information.
In the last four years, I have always had great feedback from the girls at Allure. They have told me what a spectacular place it has been to work. I know three or four MPA's very, very well, and from the comments that I have received lately from them, it has become abundantly clear to me that there are some serious managment issues at Allure ever since Debbie left and moved to the States, and since Melissa returned to the spa as a manager. Most of the problems and red flags started to go up when Melissa began her announcements about wanting to start massaging again. There have been reports of theft ($$$) in the girls changeroom, as well as serious drug use among some of the MPA's. Ashley quit working there, Kyla is on her way out, Cara is gone and so is Hazel. My comments were my opinion about the situation there pertaining to the information I have received from very reliable sources.
Now, this doesn't mean that all girls have left because of managment. They could have left for other reasons. However, in my opinion, I am getting the feeling personally that many of them ARE leaving because of management issues. The comment from the current Allure management that girls are leaving because "it is the nature of the business" does not satisfy my curiosity.
I don't think anyone is whining or wasting time making comments about this spa. If we are talking about it so much, it is obvious that Allure is a high end spa and we care about its future. It has always had amazing service and management and we want it to stay that way.
Oh, and LDB, I think your presidency of the Allure fan club needs to stop. You are always just a little bit overprotective of any negative comments to Allure. I agree 100% that it is a great spa, but people should be allowed to voice their opinions about Allure, even if they aren't so favourable. Dont' worry....no flaming, just a gentle comment to let you know how bias you always sound towards Allure!
