I have had the privilege of working with the owner of Trend Calgary for the past 13 years. Currently, I am employed at the Calgary location. I want to address some recent comments about the workplace environment, specifically regarding allegations of abuse, as I feel these claims are not only inaccurate but also taken out of context.
There was an isolated situation involving an employee and the owner, where emotions understandably ran high. In any workplace, when passion and emotions are involved, tensions can rise. The employee involved in this situation made statements suggesting they would publicly slander the business unless they were granted a layoff. Ultimately, this employee was let go for failing to meet the expectations of their role.
Unfortunately, since then, this individual has rallied support from others to post negative and misleading reviews. It's disheartening to see the situation take such a turn, especially when it doesn’t accurately reflect the reality of our workplace.
Trend Calgary has been an equal opportunity employer for over 30 years, fostering a safe, supportive environment for both our customers and our team members. It's deeply disappointing when a situation spirals in this way, especially when it doesn’t reflect the values and respect that we uphold in our business.
I can say with confidence that Trend has always been committed to creating a positive and inclusive workplace for everyone. We value each individual, and it's painful to see such misinformation being spread. I will always support local businesses and most importantly, FEMALE led businesses! Thank you for taking the time to read my perspective on this situation. I stand by the integrity of Trend Calgary, and I remain proud to be part of this team
