I didn't get any blood on the woman but I looked like a complete fool in front of everyone and my friends AND boss.

My boss then told me that I can't do that ever again and kind of threatened me with my job. I couldn't believe that I cut my finger first of all, then she threatens me with my job. Isn't that a little over the top?

I mean yea, I work in a great salon that usually has high end customers come in on a weekly basis. But seriously, that shouldn't be a consideration for being fired should it?!

Maybe I will move to the U.K. and work for Eejit101 lol
well she cant fire u for cutting your finger but she can fire u for cutting your finger witha customer. it is considered hazardous. like what i mean is no one knows what diseases u have(not saying u have any) but it is worth a warning as you got. imagine if u got blood all over that lady then the salon u work for is liable for a lawsuit. and thats why she said that because she doesnt want one. it would be a losing cause and the only way around it is to agree upon a settlement which could cost hundreds of thousands. well at least in california it would. ill be honest i know it sounded like **** but she has the right to fire on the spot when something like that happens. contract or not. eejit she just applied she doesnt sign a contract unless she rents the seat. well at least u didnt get sued look at it that way.
