RayRenpelle 429 Report post Posted March 23, 2022 Having a lot of time on my hands and out of boredom a few days ago I decided to take a look back at this industry over the past few years (8). Now this was done for my own benefit as I strive to always learn. I search several sites including this one and I found it fascinating. Many familiar names that I see now were active then also, both SWs and clients. However many have moved on. I found the interaction between groups were quite respectful and cooperative even while competing. One aspect of the business that seem to have gotten worse in the last 3 years or so is the issue with no shows, late, contacting often without booking ( time wasters) . This led to another practice that was not mentioned often before was that of deposits. And more and more they becoming a must. Not sure why but the attitude of clients has changed. They seem to be somewhat less respectful. Fortunately not all as I am SWs can attest but many have. I get that mostly from reviews and discussions I have read. Some reviews were actually a waste of time reading. I don't think a play by play description of the visit is a review. Also the wording of these shows a lack of respect for the lady. This seems to be a trend where clients view providers as a commodity or another tool in the tool box. They forget that SWs are women (mostly) who are willing to share some time with a client Anyway this has also led to the ladies losing respect and trust for clients. However, this is not a general trend and I was glad to conclude that we continue to have a good industry going for us. One where both clients and SWs can enjoy time with each other and feel safe and respected and appreciated. 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
