    Default Club ripping me off...time to move on?

    So this was my first club. I really enjoy working there most of the time, cuz the girls are all great and it's very laid back, (actually, too laid back...the place is dead all the time,) but I feel like my managers are taking advantage of me and ripping me off. For example, they always brag about the low house fee and low (virtually non-existent) payout, but they fine me up the ass for being late or missing days. They make me stick to a strict schedule, and if I miss a day it's $50, and if I'm late it's anywhere from $5-40. They're supposed to do this for every girl, but I know for a fact that a lot of the girls don't get fined and are able to work whenever they want. Plus, some shit went down this weekend where I was asked to cover a Saturday bar shift a while ago, (I bartend as well,) and even though I let them know weeks ago that I couldn't, I was accused of lying about it and was blamed for them being short staffed this Saturday. THEN, my boss tries to tell me that I owe an absent fee from 2 months ago. (Um...like I'm not smart enough to keep track of that shit?) So yeah, I've decided I'm not going in tonight, or probably ever again. But for some reason I feel bad about it. I have this weird loyalty thing that always causes me to stick to jobs or relationships far past their expiration date. Part of me wants to call in and let them know that I quit, because I feel that would be the "right" thing to do, but another part is saying "fuck it, you don't owe them anything." Or maybe that's just my excuse to avoid having to confront anyone. GAAAaahh I hate being such a wimp. Anyway, sorry about this kinda long pointless post...I guess I just need some support that I'm making the right decision and that I shouldn't feel bad about leaving. Mostly cuz I'm fucking over the other bartenders, who really need me there to fill in....jeez.

    PLEASE someone tell me to stop being such a puss!!

    If it is your first club then most definitely move on and try out other clubs! You may discover a club that is a better fit . Or that your current club really is the best option around. Either way, it's a good move.

    Some managers are assholes who will walk all over new girls because they can. The more experienced dancers will tell them to go fuck themselves and they won't fire them because they're probably good employees who just won't take any shit. My club doesn't do this because the management is pretty good but they'll yell at newer girls and make them get ready on time while others dawdle in the dressing room for HOURS.

    Try a different club. Or just stand up to the management. They may fire you, they make realize you're not a doormat.

    Move on and also call in and stand up for yourself!! If you just stop coming in you won't make a statement... if you tell them calmly and reasonably why you want to leave, you will make a statement and stand up for yourself!

    Also if they really want you there, they might fix the problem!

    You guys are right, I really do need to take a stand. I have a difficult time confronting people, and actually part of the reason I wanted to dance is because I thought it would help me be more assertive. Well, now is the time to apply it, huh? I'm going to call them tomorrow and tell them that I feel I am being treated unfairly and for that I am leaving. Who knows, maybe they'll be reasonable and try to work with me! I can only hope.

    Thanks ladies, wish me luck.
