    Default unreliable girls!

    ok so i was meant to be working tonight, as the start of our xmas opening times, 10-24th dec except sundays.

    guess what, im not workin, due to other girls being unreliable, why book in a shift then decide an hour b4 openin u dont wanna turn up, the club wont open with less than 5 girls, only 4 confirmed out of 6, 2 cancelled, so becoz of the cancellations i now, am not working tonight!

    i told everyone i danced for and regular customers to the club that we would be open. girls are so inconsiderate they dont know what concequences there actions hold. so because they decided, "nah dont feel like it" (not an actual quote) 4 other girls, 1 bar staff, 1 doorman, till guy and manager aint workin tonight, which means no money tonight, grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

    sorry i rant alot latly, jus lots of things annoyin me.

    ty, jess xoxo

    I find it odd that the club would be closed. They could certainly still be open. Not only are you upset but also the regular customers will be also.

    we dont ussually open thursdays, ussually just fri and sat, so its not a normal night, it was meant to be the start of our xmas times, 10-24th except sundays, but yeah, everyone ive told will now be lookin at an unlit cold lap dancin bar. not good when its been advertised as open. the owner wont open with less than 5 girls becoz he likes to have girls on the floor at all times, if all 5 girls are havin a dance then theirs no one interactin with the crowd.
    it is very annoyin tho.

    That is my job, to schedule dancers and make sure they show up. It has been this way my whole career, and probably has been this way since strip clubs were invented. I have an "oncall" list of girls that are really wishing for more work, so if someone cancels I can call in a replacement. Sometimes the replacement is permanent.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    I'm of two minds about this. I'm sorry it screwed things up for you. That really sucks.

    But on the other hand, I think that's kinda part of the trade off for the whole "independent contractor" thing. If I have to pay to come to work, I'm going to decide when I don't want to, and I'm going to reserve my right to cancel.

    If the club can't make it work, I really think it's their fault. This doesn't happen so much with employees.

    I also agree with Paris, I don't see why they can't keep some numbers around and call up some other girls. Every club I've known does that. I've never heard of a club that just doesn't open as a result of cancellations.

    If they're going to (illegally) classify as independent contractors, they need to be prepared for that.

    yeah they should keep some on standby, but they dont, i do belive u should be able to cancel, but at the last min, which it was, is inconvienent. i got the phone call to say we were closed half an hour b4 i had to be there. its not my job to keep girls in check, im just a dancer, thats why it annoys me. im very reliable, and when i book in i make sure im there, even if i dont feel like it. if its for a really good reason that they had cancelled then fair enough, but most of the girls that dont turn up, just decide they cant be bothered.

    ^Yeah but like she said... That's part of our right as independent contractors. I've definitely told managers or bouncers or DJs that I would be in on a shift and been tired or in a bad mood and just not wanting to get naked and deal with annoying customers and stayed home. I've worked several regular jobs and I would never have missed a shift in any of them for those reasons, but since I give half of what I work my ass off for to my club, I feel pretty strongly that if I'm not feeling like going into work one night and I can afford it, I am justified in not going in.

    In my opinion it's not the dancers that are wrong in this situation it's your club. If I needed six strippers to be open and that was all I had and I couldn't deal with losing two, I wouldn't plan on telling all my employees and dancers we were going to be open that night. It's just bad business sense for club to decide it's not going to be open for the night half an hour before it's supposed to open, and really fucked up for all the paid employees.

    My last club was like that. We wouldn't open with only 4 girls either. Especially during a week night. It wasn't that it was bad for business or anything but not enough girls for more clientele doesn't look very good. Plus being on stage every 20minutes cuts into your money a bit. And when everyone is in VIP wha about the customers that want a stage show but can't get it because the dancer is already nakie? lol Doesn't work too well.

    I dont belive we have the right to cancell at last min at all, we pay to work in the club on that night, if we cancel, were not payin house, therefore not paying for the privilage of cancelling last min. house fee is to pay for the rent of the place u work at that night, the electricity u use, the heating, and were i work tippin staff is not a done thing, so our house go towards the payment of doorstaff and bar staff, we pay for those things for the night we work, if we cancel at last min, were not paying anythin, so we dont pay for the privalige to cancel.

    i belive we can cancel the day b4, but not 1hr b4 opening, any job you do, you should be reliable, and the more relaible you are the more opportunity you have, if a manager of a club knows ur reliable he is more likly to book you in when u want to be booked in, becoz they know ur not gonna let them down, its as much on the girls part as it is on the clubs part.

    I didn't say anything about paying for the
    right to cancel, I said our status as IC and not paid
    employees gives us the right to cancel at our convenience.

    even as an "independent contracter" you dont have the right to cancel an hour b4 shift, i said the day b4 is fine, then the club has time to book someone else,

    put it this way, you have a flood from your pipes in your house, you call all the plumers you can and the only one available is an "independent" and cant get to u for 3hrs say, then he rings up an hour b4 he is meant to arrive cancelling the appointment, you wouldnt go back to him and certainly not refer him to any friends and family, it has inconvienced you, the same way as a girl cancelling 1 hour b4 opening has inconvieneced the club.

    you want respect from clubs, then you should respect the club too, booking in and cancellin an hour b4 open is not respect, like i said, day b4 is fine. if you have a valid reason then fair enough, but not being bothered is not a valid reason.

    ^^^While I agree with you, most clubs have a rule and that is if a girl is to call off they have to no less than 1 hour before open or shift start. So in the aspect of respect to a club as long as that dead line is met they aren't worried. It is really unfair though when it affects the others to the point that the club isn't opening that night.

    I think that is a very different situation. The plumber is coming to my house because I am PAYING him. My club is not paying me to come to work.

    My club has no policy about calling in. We have to work three shifts a week or we get charged a missed shift fee, we pick those shifts and don't have to tell anyone when we will or will not be there. I wouldn't work anywhere that required me to do othetwise.

    ^^^ Exactly. In fact, we have to pay them.

    It's more like if the plumber had to come into an office and pay a fee to sit around and hope he gets business and makes it back.

    i still dont think we have the right as independent contractors, my opinion will not be changed, i find it very unprofessional, i said day b4 is fine remember, but an hour, no, its not respect. sorry its my opinion and its stickin that way.
