I'm currently having a problem with the general manager at the club I am at. I have worked with the GM at the same club about two years ago when he worked as a bouncer and never had a problem with him so when I found out he was made GM I decided to come back to the club to give it another try. Ever sinse I have returned I have had a lot of problems with him and I'm not quite sure what to do about it and I'm hoping for some advice. Let me give you a few examples and maybe there is a better way to deal with it than I have been.
1. We are not allowed to drink straight alcohol at the club, it has to be mixed with something. Okay no problem. Last week I ordered a vodka and sprite from the bartender. About 5 minutes later the GM comes storming up to me pulls me away from the customer and starts yelling at me for trying to get his bartender in trouble by ordering straight liquor. I tried explaining it was mixed with sprite and handed it to him to try so the bartender didn't get in trouble. He stormed away without even looking at the drink.
2. We sell showtimes, uptimes, reviews whatever they are called. Last Saturday I was sitting with a gentleman who wasn't doing dancer but was giving me money for sitting with him. Okay so a showtime comes up and I go over to the customer I'm sitting with and he handed me the money and bought me out of the showtime. I went back, explain to the bouncer that I already sold and handed him the clubs cut of the money. I go back to my customer and the GM comes over and starts yelling at me for not trying tosell it. I explain that I was already sold and I had already given the bouncer the money, his response is how was I supposed to know I haven't checked the list yet. Okay I let it drop go back to my customer and forget about it.
3. A few days ago I had a customer I have known for years come in. The GM comes up to me and tells me this guy does lots of champagne rooms. I smiled said thanks for the tip and go back to this customer. I was talking to the guy for awhile and asked about the champagne room and he told me he was really tired and a little buzzed and didn't feel like doing one. I tell him okay no problem I understand and he gets a couple hundred dollars in funny money and just hands me the money, last night when I walked into work the GM comes up and starts telling me I have to work more dayshifts because they don't have enough girls. I told him I don't mind working dayshift, however I have a hard time making money on it because some of the girls are willing to go a little further in the back that I am willing to - well he told me I obviously need to learn how to do my job better and just look what happened last night, I sat with a customer who always does champagne rooms and I couldn't even sell him a dance. At this point I was totally aggrevated and just said okay, I'm sorry let me get back to work.
I have never had problems like this with any other managers I've worked with and I'm afraid that I may end up snapping at him one day and saying things I'll regret later.
I have tried approaching him a few times to talk to him but he tells me hes always to busy to talk. I'm actually running out of patience, I work a lot, never cause problems, get along with the rest of the staff and dancers, don't get drunk etc...
