    Default EGOTISTICAL BOSSES

    ok so here is the deal and i was hoping that someone could help me with this. i (as many of us do) told my mother that i was cocktailing at my club to prevent her from going bats on me. my night manager took it opon himself to inform her when she called to tell her what i do for a living. when he and i got into an argument, he decided to call me a lair and sighted that incident as a basis for his reasoning. upper management has not been told of this yet and i am trying to figure out what i should do about this. any suggestions?

    Well, the fucker got put on suspension 2 days ago and was not too happy about it. today, while i was having drinks w/customers, the sob cut me off while i was drinking WATER. ITS ON.

    He was wrong wrong wrong in informing your mother about your position at the club. Upper management should be informed about his bad behavior. Even the skeeziest of clubs that I have worked at (my first club), someone would be fired for that kind of stupitidy.

    Yes, we do put ourselves out in the open by the jobs we do, but it is not the responsibility of management, other employees or other dancers to dish to someone on the phone about what you do there.

    If your manager's boss doesn't see your point or at least give the bastard some disciplinary action, I would quit the club and go to one that will respect my privacy. I mean, what's next? The manager selling your phone number to the creepy perv in the dark corner with his hand down his pants?

    Bosses know that MANY dancers dont tell their families or friends where they work. Where the hell did he come out opening his trap??? I would seek another club, as Glamazon mentioned, that would respect your privacy. wtf??

    I agree with lexi, if no disciplinary action is taken toward the manager I'd look elsewhere for employment.

    Hell, Even if disciplinary action were taken, I would go somewhere else!! What that manager did was VERY wrong. Who cares if you lied to your mom...what business is it of his? Does it affect him in any way? No. If your mom calls the club and asks for you...all they need to say is that you are busy and will call her back on your break. Or better yet, they should tell her that no personal calls are allowed at the club, except for emergency situations.

    If it's a really big problem, then just tell your mom that you DO waitress there and the manager must have gotten you confused with someone else. It might work...

    Good luck...let us know what happens...and make sure you tell Upper Management.

    I would make damn sure that that manager regrets what he has done

    well, one of the other girls found out what happened and SHE threw a fit. it looks like the sob may just lose his job over the whole deal. he is still trying to write it off as an accident and the boss is NOT PLEASED. have still yet to see how the whole deal goes. i guess that turning a bartender into a manager will be the worst thing that they will ever do. more on how it goes tomarrow.

    Welcome to most of the the &*%[email protected]$ guys who like to be in charge of these clubs. A customer of mine put this perfectly, "You women are in there to make a living, you already have to put up with all the crap from the jackasses that come in. The people in charge of watching out for YOU should be doing their job!" What did your mom do????? If that dude comes back, I vote that your new hobby at work is making him as miserable as possible.
    Well, that's just me talking... kind of... if it were really me, I would be 6 ft under b/c my mom killed me

    It does seem like he did it just to be malicious, but you are the one taking your clothes off so you can't get mad if someone tells. Part of your anger might not be just at the manager, it might be because you got caught in a major, ongoing lie.

    If I was the upper management I would just add your complaint to the list of strikes against him, but unless it was a club policy or something I don't think they would fire him over it.

    I don't know what kind of club you are at, but a lot of times men stick together and the dancer is the one who suffers when an altercation comes up. I haven't been around this planet for all that long, but in the jobs I have worked I have found a huge amount of male chovinism(sp?). The more uneducated the men, the more disrespectful they are to women.

    I'm so sorry that you're in this situation. That sucks. But unfortunately there are a lot of these assholes out there. For some reason, some guys think that just because they own or manage the club, it means that they own all of the lives of the girls who work there too.
