    Default angry dancer....

    so tuesday night my brother went to the hospital...he's had heart problems, etc...he was having chest pains....so i called off to be there for him...the rest of our family lives over 2 hours away...so...i had to pay $60, which included my "calling off" fee, tip out to bartender, waitress and dj. so last night i get a call from the hospital and i find out he had a mild stroke. he's 36 and has had heart problems since he was little. anyways, i left work around midnight, had to pay out my house fee which was $25, and the tip outs. and tommorrow i have to pay another $50 for calling off. YES $50! i'm f-in p!ssed. i can't help the fact my brother is sick. the owner told me if i get a doctors excuse FOR MY BROTHER i'll get my money back.

    sorry this just really irritates me. do any of you other girls have these same "rules" at your clubs? and should i maybe find a different club to work at?

    I would be angery. I have no advice because I would want to do something evil. These are the reasons I often want to stop dancing. Or pay a homeless person to fuck up his car. Not that I would nor should anyone eles, but sometimes it makes you smile to just think about, like a day dream.

    Management at my club wouldn't do it unless the girl had a bad record of call off's or perhaps was a newb. If a girl had been there a few months and not called off a lot, then they would not fine her. I think this kind of attitude towards call off's is bullshit. I would be pissed. Just because we are dancers does not mean that we are robots who never get sick or have family obligations. To have to pay to be with your brother who is seriously ill?? Ridiculous

    My club has a similar policy, though you can schedule make up shifts to avoid the fees. They'll make exceptions for some girls in some instances, but they would probably ask to see some kind of proof that the sick person really was sick.

    It's shitty and sad, but I guess in this industry, with flakes and addicts and whack-jobs making appearances on the scene, they feel justified, like they're avoiding unnecessary or frivolous call-offs.

    I hope your brother is on the mend and you can de-stress.

    i was there from 7pm til about midnight. my club has no compassion or understanding. they suspend girls for stupid reasons - one of the girls had a really bad anxiety attack, was crying, heart pounding, etc...she went home an hr early and they suspended her for a week. another girl was laughing so hard she peed a little bit on one of the dancers shoes (lol..sorry but its kinda funny when i think about it..) and she was gone for a week too. all the dj and bartenders care about is THEIR money, and most of the time they are taking home twice as much money as us dancers to.

    and my brother is ok - they sent him home today with a strict diet and more blood pressure and heart meds.

    I've never worked at a club that had that sort of policy. Guess I've just been lucky. If the money is great I would probably stay but if it's just so-so I'd be looking for a club that cares more about the dancers.

    Sometimes if a club is the best in the area and they know it they treat their dancers really bad because they don't care if they leave. Some of the girls do leave, but they have to go somewhere else and might not make as much. It just sucks but that's the way it is. Sorry.

    That's REALLY bad. I don't work somewhere with a schedule, but even when I worked at VIPS chicago which has a very strict schedule, they would allow somebody to take off for something like that.

    If you want to continue working there, I would try to get some sort of paper verification and get your money back.

    I personally, would not be very interested in working there anymore.

    glad to hear your brother is going to be okay.

    As for the fines, I went through the same thing a while back because of my husband who is the dj at our club having chest pains, and i had to take him to the er midshift on a friday night. mercifully he wasn't having heart problems, just pullede muscles and pinched nerves, but the club was completely heartless about it.

    Our club does it.
    It's because so many girls call out all the time or just don't show up.
    Call out is $50 unless you have a doctors note, not showing up is $100.
    They also have a fine for if you're late for your shift.

    However, they're pretty good about cutting a girl slack if she has a real certifiable family emergency type thing going on.

    our rules are ridiculous. i'm thinking about working at a different club and i know for sure the girls there make almost twice as much money as the girls at mine - the only thing that is stopping me is my ex hubby's cousins work there and i know they will end up saying something to my former in-laws.
