Maybe I'm a dreamer, but our very own Melonie has inspired me with her posts (and one friendly pm) to believe that I have the leverage to ask my studio for more money. I don't know if any studios have any redeeming qualities, but this is a shit studio. I've been with them for almost a year now, which seems like the right time to do this. It's for streamate, and instead of my 35% I get 25%. They give out paltry bonuses which pale in comparison to the money they "steal" from me in my opinion. I have been among the top earning models for my studio. I also cam full time and have worked consistent hours for a year. I get the impression there are at least a few hundred models, because I have seen emails stating that 348 models received the time bonus for a given month.
My question is; how the hell do I go about attempting to negotiate? I haven't had much luck corresponding with them over issues such as them sending my bonus checks to the wrong address. I had to tell them my correct address on 4 separate occasions. So is this a customer service? Or like do i email them and ask for a certain contact? What if they don't respond? I'm not sure if they have a phone number, but if they did, who would i ask to speak to? Or what is a good way to find out?
So firstly, I'm not sure who to contact exactly.
My next question would be, what exactly do I say to them? I'd love to threaten to leave if they don't up my percentage to 32%. I'd love to make good on my promise and quit for a year, work some other sites and return triumphantly to streamate to get my 35% after a year of good old contract nullin, but I love streamate, and I love my regulars, and I haven't had much luck on other sites.
I had tried to weasel out of this mess and get into weeklypay in January with the help of PrincessJenny. It didn't work out because the studio did not properly close my account permanently, even though I asked them to. So my fear is that they may be dicks about it, and I'd never be able to work for streamate directly.
How do I make it known to the entity that is my studio that I am their MVP and I demand better treatment, or I'll take my star power elsewhere?
Please help! It makes me cry when I do the math and realize how much money I "should" be making....![]()

but it may be best like Laurie and PJ said to just take the steps to quietly move on. But since he did pay the OP of the other thread bc of SW maybe this thread will do it
