Re: What should I do?? RANT!
Is it really worth the money you'll get at the end of the month to stay at the club? From this post, it sounds like it isn't. What's a few hundred dollars if you get to keep your sanity and stop getting assaulted every night? Best to quit now when you've made a little bit of money than in 2 weeks when you decide you can't take any more of it but have already earned thousands of $$.
Re: What should I do?? RANT!
That sounds like a terrible club to work at!!!! It doesn't seem worth the effort to continue working in an enviroment like that ESPECIALLY if you're only making 20% and you only get paid once a month. I would try to find another club that you feel comfortable with and cut your losses if they don't pay you. It's just not worth it.
Re: What should I do?? RANT!
No you're right...I'm just so pissed off and confused right now...I hate the idea of them taking my money that I fucking EARNED!!!!!!! but it's just not worth it...there are so many things going on at this club that I don't even know where to begin..
Thank you for your advices though...
I'm calling them first thing monday morning.....will keep you posted...
Re: What should I do?? RANT!
Can you tell them that you are sick or something so they dont know you are quitting until after you get paid??
Re: What should I do?? RANT!
They are really strict about being sick you have to show them a doctors certificate...and there is 20 more days to go before getting paid!!!

Ugh...yet another reason to get the hell out. What a fucked up club...they encourage prostitution,take most of your money,hold it for a month before giving it to you and you cant even call out sick?? This doesnt even sound like a club...this sounds like a damn sex slave ring. Get out while you can and report them.
Maybe talk to the manager or owner and say that your mom is sick and you MAY have to go home to take care of her and ask what happens to the money you are owed if you do have to leave. See what he says....and if you can manage it, keep a recorder or your cell in your pocket and record what he says..that way you have proof

That is a good idea...I'm calling them today and I'm gonna have my phone on record...
uhh...Im so nervous though...
Re: What should I do?? RANT!
Good luck and NEVER EVER work in a club that holds your money hostage again!!
Re: What should I do?? RANT!
Wow I can't believe it's like that in Sweden. Sweden is one of my favorite places to visit and I have this ideal romanticized idea of it, but that sounds AWFUL! You should just buy a plane ticket and come to the states and work for the three months your visitors Visa allows and go back strapped with cash.
I mean lots of clubs in the US do it all under the table and being a stripper means you can travel anywhere and work. You should come here.
Re: What should I do?? RANT!
I phoned them yesterday...and asked if I could just be a stage show dancer and not sell VIP...they said it was okay...You don't make that much money as a stage show dancer but if I do that until the end of the month I at least know I'll get my money at the end of the month and I can work a bit on my stage show so it will be perfect when I go abroad again...and I won't have to go into those horrible awful VIP rooms again...uhh makes me sick just thinking about it...
Davka: Yeah Sweden is a great country exept for when it comes to stripping..then it's awful...I would love to come to the US but don't think Ill make it for three months without my boyfriend...I know I'm a sissy!
Re: What should I do?? RANT!
aww yeah I always take my boyfriend with me when I travel. Take him with you. If you go to little country middle-of-nowhere towns you could live cheaply at a motel and earn a lot, especially if you're Swedish. American men love Swedish women! :)
Re: What should I do?? RANT!
That doesnt make sense. So when you finally get paid for one month they're going to owe you for the month you just worked. Get what Im saying? So it doesnt matter if you quit now or a month from now, they'll always owe you money.
Are they taking taxes out and thats why you're getting 20%. Like they take a 50% cut, then pay taxes on your 50% so youre ending up with 20% net? Or no go?

No, it's 20% before taxes then they take taxes out of that...soo bad!
It is like this...25th of Octobre you get the money you earned during 25 september - 25 october....and I started working this month so if I quit the day I'll get my money.. ...they won't owe me anything :P
Re: What should I do?? RANT!
Oh gawd. Get the hell outta there!
Re: What should I do?? RANT!

Yes, 'normal' jobs are like this, but then again, normal jobs don't involve you getting sexually assaulted! Take your money, don't let anyone lay a finger on you and get the hell out of there. For the amount of money in it you may as well geta job asa regular barmaid.

That is what I was thinking. How can they keep money owed if one quits?
