I need some advice ladies!
I work with one DJ all of my shifts throughout the course of the week (day shift) and he is awful!! He plays music that doesn't go well with my dancing style (I like slower, sensual music....he plays he Miley Cyrus/Demi Lovato/Call Me Maybe BS), he plays the full song (whereas some other girls that he favors he only plays 2:30), he won't say anything about me between songs or any up talk, leaves me onstage (we cannot leave stage unless another girl comes replace us...and he "forgets" to call the following girl up)...and I am at the end of my rope.
I used to tip him really well until this all started to happen, then I started tipping him the minimum if anything. I don't want to reward bad behavior on his part with a good tip out. I have tried to have one on one conversations about this with him multiple times and he doesn't change. I have told the managers about this, and even though they lecture him, they won't fire him because they are short DJ's. I'm not the only girl he is doing this with, and it really is messing with us. We all have complained but it feels like no matter what we do to try and change the situation nothing good comes out of it. He instead is becoming more resentful and bitter. He doesn't get the concept that if WE as dancers are not happy and don't make money, then he won't be happy because he will leave broke.
I love working where I work, but he is making my day miserable. I had 3 different customers come to me while on stage today to complain about my song choices. They were not my songs!!! I also went to give him my tip out at the end of the shift, and he didn't even acknowledge it or say thank you. Ummm..if you are ungrateful about having my money, then give it back to me. I need money and would be more than happy to keep it. (Mind you, tip out to the DJ's is NOT a requirement or mandatory at our club).
What would you do? Or what do you think I should do? I don't know what else to do at this point. I'm tired of having the same conversation with him every day that I work, and I'm tired of complaining to management about it if they won't seriously fix the problem.![]()
