    Default Vacations

    Hey!

    So I started at a new club a few weeks ago after finding the appropriate ID they needed (misplaced social security card nightmare.) And I love it. I worked four days straight and did really well there. Management are awesome, it's a very clean club, customers are polite, I already know a couple of girls who work there, and overall I found myself looking forward to going in.

    The sucky part was, I travel a lot due to a long distance relationship and an internship out in California. I had already planned to be away all winter and booked plane tickets, paid rent for my share of my SO's rent, and secured an internship out here. However, I really wanted to start at this new club because honestly my old club was burning me out (high contact, rude management, drama amongst some of the girls there) and even if I could only work a few days before leaving, I was still happy to do so.

    I told them upfront that I was going to be away for five weeks and they put that in the computer and said to call when I come back. However, I have super bad anxiety and am having worries that I'm going to call and they're going to be unhappy or I'll get a different manager to the one I told I was going to be away and that I'll be told they don't need me or something.

    I feel like I did everything right by busting my ass for those four days to show I was a hard worker and can do well there, and by telling them my plans. But I'm still mildly freaking out in case I don't have a job to go back to (as I genuinely feel like I've found a really good club that I'll be happy at.)

    Has anyone gone on a vacation or leave of absence like that and been able to come back okay? My old club knew I traveled a lot and were flexible with that and understood, however I'm more worried because I'm so new there. In the mean time do you think there's anything I can do? A friend of mine who works there said she put in a good word for me the other night and told the manager I really liked it and was excited to come back but I wasn't sure if I should call to check, and what to say? If anything just to alleviate my worries...but then I don't want to seem annoying.

    You're way overthinking it. Dancers come and go all the time, often disappearing without a word but then getting hired back no problem. You will be totally fine, especially since you actually told them when you will return and they told you to call them when you do. Your old club isn't an anomaly -- most clubs are used to dancers travelling/coming and going, even new girls. You don't need your friend to put in a good word for you or need to worry about a different manager being there. Just wait til you're heading back in 5 weeks and then give them a call or just show up. There's no sense in calling in advance just to check in.
