    Exclamation stress is eating me alive (long rant)

    I'm so stressed I can barely sleep anymore.
    My club has been slipping for a while, nothing else is really close enough or has enough clientèle to make a drive worthwhile.

    We got a new manager, he is an absolute douche, the owner doesn't care as long as he is screwing whatever girl he decides is the flavor of the week. So no real help there.

    Money is sliding because of how the new wonder idiot manager is running or not running the club. We are getting fined for stupid shit, such as "excessive use of the bathroom", sitting with customers/not sitting with customers take your pick depending on the night. They are yanking us off lap dances if our turn in stage rotation comes up, or else pay a fine.

    They are discriminating against our beautiful black dancers. Only so many can work per night. Yet if they don't work they get fined per night. White dancers don't get this, but we get other fines for just as stupid of reasons.

    The manager refers to us as whores, and tells us to go act like whores to make dances. My stomach hurts all the time now when I work, just because of everything going on. I dread going to work, because it is now almost impossible to figure out what is going to be a night with customers and money in the club.

    Tonight from 7pm-2am with 17 dancers on the floor, there was a collective 11 dances sold for the whole night. Not per dancer, that was all of us put together.

    I'm so stressed about the whole situation, I'm scared the bills are overdue and the lack of sleep is eating me alive. And it only seems to be getting worse at my club.

    Been there... actually I fucking LIVE there. Not the manager part but the rest of it. Hope it gets better for you soon

    GET OUT , get out ! The situation sound like what people imagine strip clubs ( at the worst ) to be except that it's real . There are always options. Can you bartend at a regular bar until the manager moves on ? What are your other money making ideas?

    You should probably get a part time job or another full time job if it's that bad, and maybe go into work maybe once in while to see if things have changed/picked up .That is way too much crap to deal with for very little.

    Is there any way to move to a new club? I know that may be easier said than done, but this sounds like way too much stress on you. I'm sorry

    I absolutely hear you on the stress thing too. I'm dealing with a few different things and they just pile up leaving me a big stress ball. I really would look into other options asap unless you have a way of borrowing money ect. or credit available. Nothing ( right now anyway ) makes me feel so helpless and yucky as being " short " especially when I manage money well and my expenses out are low. So .... don't procrastinate unless there will be some major changes soon at your club ( or a huge batch of customers for a sporting event / convention ). It sounds like things are just on a downhill decline. Don't ride down with the club.

    How long have you been there ? There is no doubt that stress is acute when you step out of your comfort zone.

    I have been at this club for 6 years now. I really liked this club up until the last year. I have been looking for jobs, but nothing so far.
    We have very low monthly budget expenditures. But it just feels overwhelming always hearing nothing or "you are overqualified" when you apply for jobs.
