    Default Question About Management

    Hi I just started dancing in March at a small club outside of Philly. Anyway I loved it there originally, the owners were so incredibly nice as was the house mom and bouncers. I make good money and like the low key atmosphere. My problem is that about a month after I started the owners hired a new manager and have since been less present in the club. The new manager overbooked girls so many days in April it was ridiculous. I was lucky to somehow not suffer the financial consequences that many other girls reported. This last week as schedules were being made he practically refuse to set up my May schedule until the last minute (which I had to hound him to do). Then tried to give me crap shifts. I stuck to my guns and reminded him that I sell dances and champagne rooms consistently which makes money for the club (and this isn't a club where CRs are popular with clients). I basically got the hours I wanted. I don't care if he is rude to me but I don't want bad hours because he personally doesn't like me or saves the better times for his favorite girls (they don't work but do talk to him all night). The owners seem to like me. The bouncers who keep track of the dance areas have said that I'm one of the top girls selling sells dances and that they don't care for the manager either. To top this off last night he sent a good dancer home and told her not to come back for a month (She does not do drugs she works hard and is never late). The club also seems to be going down hill since he has been there. I'm wondering if I should speak to the owners or if that would create more problems.

    Sorry this is so long. I just don't know how to handle this. Thanks for any advice.

    yep, talk to the owners.. Just say you are concerned about the club. Which you are, right?
    Don't make it in anyway about the person, but his style on managing.. And I stress the concern for the club.
    I have lost many a wonderful manager and gained hack ass guys who thank goodness were let go when people said something.
    Owners usually have their "people" checking out the club, but sometimes they want the dancers to voice their opinions as well. Ask his advice, rather than demand action.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    Thanks! Yeah I am concerned about the club. When I started there was a quality group of strippers especially on weekends now they are becoming fewer and fewer. Customers have even commented on it (I never talk badly about the girls no matter what). I also had an experience in the private dance room last Friday where a guy unbuttoned his pants and expected me to get him off. I told him thats illegal. He insisted the manager wouldn't care because they were friends. Needless to say he received barely any contact in that dance (He paid me in advance lol). I thought he was the typical bullshitter that just happened to know the manager's name. It is easy enough to come by. This happened right before he gave me the run around for the schedule. I wouldn't really have given it a second thought except that I did see the perve talking to the manager that night. And that was the same night his attitude changed towards me. I'm getting worried that he isn't as vigilant as the owners in banning extras (possibly even condoning them?). Thanks for your advice. I'm hoping things change.

    I would set up an appointment with the owners, a bouncer and maybe two other dancers and have you all express your concerns. Don't be too aggressive because you don't want to put them on the defensive side, but do let them know that you are all concerned.
    Don't you ever sleep?
    Not at night...that's when the stars have rather better things to do. They're coming out, shining, that sort of thing.

    Thanks Kylea. From what I've heard it actually sounds like the bouncers intend to speak with the owners. I'm working tomorrow when the manager isn't there but one of the owners usually is. So I'm hoping to speak with her. She is usually really understanding. I'm definitely not going to be overly demanding. I'll probably just ask if there was some reason I was the last to be scheduled and casually bring up my concerns. Hopefully it will all work out.

    from my experience i have kind of learned that most club owners are a little flakey. maybe because they always have a bunch of girls hounding and bitching at them, im not saying you were bitching because you have a legit reason for needing to speak with them, however i know the owner of the club i currently work at has girls bitching at him about stupid drama non stop. im not defending them but i think thats the reason they can be like that.

    Hey thanks everyone! I actually didn't even have to talk to the owner. He called me to make sure my schedule was ok and that I wasn't planning to quit. I didn't say anything bad about the manager to him it seems like enough people are complaining and I would rather not be seen as a trouble maker. And keep the owners on my side if anything else arises. Thanks for all you help
