    Default Argh! (Angry club rant)

    I am SO pissed at my club right now. First off, they just fired our old DJ, who was the most awesome DJ I've ever met; did a great job, nice guy, everything. Well, they supposedly fired him for "drinking on the job", which is complete bullshit. First off, he NEVER drank during his shifts, and 2nd, most of the other managers and workers at the club are ALWAYS wasted off their ass. The real reason he got fired is because one of the manager's friends decided he wanted to be a DJ. This guy started tonight. He's awful. His music choices suck, and he was so out of it that he couldn't even READ our names off a sheet! Plus, our cocktail waitresses were NO HELP tonight. I work at a drink hustle club, but it's illegal for us to ask for drinks; we rely on the cocktailers to come around and bring it up. They were completely ignoring the girls tonight. So, I didn't make quota and got docked. So at the end of the night, I was waiting for my manager to cash me out. One of the cocktailers was loudly bragging that she didn't like the new girl (who had left already), so she didn't help her out with drinks. She's saying this RIGHT IN FRONT of the manager, who should have fired her on the spot for that. But my manager was SO WASTED that she couldn't even add up drink tickets; she had to get help from another manager because she was TOO DRUNK TO COUNT. AGH! Normally this is a great club to work at, but today... oy!

    Anyway, that's my rant. Thanks for listening.

    From my experience, being a good DJ has very little to do with job security.

    Having the dancers really like you can actually be a detriment--this has been true in every one of the four clubs I have worked in.

    Also, I have noticed that managers in stripclubs are almost invariably the first to break their own rules--especially when it comes to getting wasted and hustling the dancers.

    Thanks, Venus. Like I said, normally the club is cool, but tonight... yikes. I'm sorry to hear that about DJ's, djoser, that really sucks. Why is it a detriment to have the dancers like you?

    As far as I can tell, it stems from a monumental insensitivity to the feelings of dancers, combined with an ever-present desire to maintain dominance over them. The DJ should be an asset in this process, and if he treats them with respect and compassion, it interferes with it.

    It is considerably worse in clubs with strict music rules, in which any trace of sensitivity to what music the dancers might employ in order to perform to the best of their ability is regarded as an unforgiveable weakness.

    Owners and managers are for the most part strange creatures having no concept of aesthetics or grace, and are generally frightened when confronted with any demonstration of such.

    Managers are also very frightened by popular DJs if they feel like this cuts into their chances of hustling the dancers--and I have never yet worked with a male manager who didn't.

    There is a member named Crazybob, who has a club in Springfield, Missouri, who is a noteable exception to the norm. I'm sure I am not alone in missing his posts and input.

    Yup....if anyone else in the club likes all of you too much, then you will have an ally, and you will also begin to feel empowered. Remember...you are all cheap whores and must never forget that. Now suck my dick, bitch.

    Damn that would piss me off too, sorry to hear that.
    I'm here to make money. NOT make friends, if I make a friend then it's a bonus.

    I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous that absolutely boring

    Yeah. Well, it&#039;s not a big deal right now anyway. I&#039;m working through next week, then I&#039;m taking some time off; school is starting, and I want to spend the first few weeks feeling it out. I&#039;ll be a full-time grad student, it&#039;s new for me, and I don&#039;t want to throw work into the mix until I&#039;m comfortable with my schedule and workload and such. In the meantime, there&#039;s another club I may check out. Wish me luck!

    sorry about the bad night girly.... Sounds like the managers need to sober up and get a handle on things. But at least tomorrow is a new day
