We have a cleaner who comes every week for 2 hours. She's been with us a year, and although she's been great, she's been going through some very had personal times. She's asked to get paid weeks early, she's called off 3 times in the last 8 weeks. We've started to notice things are really slipping. She also is having a huge custody battle for her kids. We've tried to communicate but it's like she isn't hearing our concerns.

She's essentially really going through it. Unfortunately, our household relies on having our home cleaned routinely and well. We are so incredibly busy, between our careers and our kids, we need the house cleaned.

We've decided to go with a company so they will ensure they are adequately staffed and able to clean the home as scheduled. It's actually a little cheaper because our cleaner is $40/hour in a VERY low cost of living.

So, I'm not sure what to say. How do we let her know? We loved having her clean but we cannot operate our house is the cleanings aren't getting done. I feel awful, but it is no longer a good fit.

I'm posting about a case that occurred in open court, and is public record. This is my personal experience With Locks and Loaded Salon. I've used reddit for over a decade and it's the only social media platform I use publicly.

I see people asking for Fort Collins salons recs on this subreddit. If you're looking for a recommendation for a fort Collins salon, here is my experience with locks and loaded.

After a service in 2021, I posted an honest review. In response, the owner didn't just threaten me—she actually sued me for $7,500, the maximum allowed, though she claimed my one bad review cost her over $30,000 in damages.

​Throughout the process, she insisted the haircut service never even happened. We went to mediation, where Julia (thr owner) was insistent that my review was a lie; she didn't want me to address or edit the review—she wanted to penalize me.

This caused a significant amount of stress for me, my partner, and my family.

​She finally had her day in court, and after the judge heard all of her evidence and all of my evidence, the judge found that I was truthful and that I could not be blamed for damages. She had her day in court and she lost.

All I wanted was for my review to be left up, but she took it down. I reposted it a few times, and she claimed harassment and over 30k in Damages.

Again, this is my personal experience. And truth is an absolute defense!

We moved here in 2024 and our experiences with the medical offices are insane. Canceling appointments without notifying us, making mistakes and not caring, condescending staff.

It's WILD. I'm an RN, I couldn't imagine working somewhere that operates like these places do.

I guess just a vent. I feel like the act this way because they can and they just don't care.
