    Default Do I call them on it?

    My shift starts at 7:30. The day shift ends at 8:00. There's a half hour where the day/night shift is on at the same time. I've been starting right at 7:30 and working the floor right off the bat. The other day a couple of the day shift girls approached me and told me, they know I'm new so they'll let me know before I get into trouble... they then told me I'm technically not suppossed to be working the floor and getting dances until 8 when their shift is over. I didn't argue at the time, but asked the boss yesterday about it. He told me that it wasn't true and I can start as soon as I get on the floor.
    Should I say anything to the girls that told me the "no dances until 8" rule? Or just go about my business and see if they say anything else about it to me?
    Advice?
    Luv,
    Amber

    Amber, they may have made the comment to you out of a genuine desire for you not to get into trouble but I doubt it. They probably viewed you as cutting into their potential money. You did the right thing by asking the manager so Id just go with what he said unless you are concerned about how the other girls will view it. From your various posts I've read, you try to get along but won't let yourself get pushed around..except by a hot customer maybe LOL

    Amber, you're too nice LOL I'd just blow them off considering their motives. Are you concerned they will say something to management (who has already said youre cool) or the other dancers and try and start trouble? Do any of your other co-workers start their shifts early? Maybe its not a real rule just and unwritten one. During my sporadic SC career I've always seen the ladies working a sort of flex shift. It was ok to start a little early if they wanted. Course most of the ladies I seemed to hang with were never early... LMAO

    I know you had some other dancers tryin to start some crap so I can see why you're concerned. I just dont think you telling them that you talked to management etc would make any difference. If I could, I'd come in to your place at 7:30 and I'd tip you for the time...problem solved LOL The other dancers would never know heheheh This approach should get a few of the guys here on the board stirred up who refuse to pay for conversation LOL

    Amber, you don't happen to have staff meetings at your club to discuss these things do you?

    Anytime I've been given contradictory information at work, I let both parties who gave me it know what the other one told me. I know that you don't want to start a scene, so if you have any such meetings (or perhaps a bulletin board in the dressing room) you might want to get management to bring this up to clarify the policy.

    They could be trying to intimidate you, but we get people at my workplace who start following "instructions that never were" all the time, simply because management doesn't make the real instructions clear to everyone. If the day shift girls give you static for ratting them out, simply tell them that you were merely trying to get the policy clarified.

    "I asked management about the no working the floor until 8 thing and he said I could start at the beginning of my shift. I think someone might have told you the wrong info."
    That sounds good to me, it's both polite and tactful, you do have to work with these girls afterall, no sense burning bridges if you don't have to.

    You guys are probably right...I tend to be confrontational LOL Ive seen so much bitchy stuff in the past I couldnt see Amber (as sweet as she is) working her way thru it in a polite and adult manner. I know she'll do the right thing whatever the hell that is LOL

    Amber, I think it's more of the same typical stuff...they are jealous and afraid of you... but I wouldn't let it get to me. Just play it cool. Thank them for the advice...then do your own thing.

    The funny thing is those same girls who cut out at 8 often stand around not approaching guys. The fact that you do gives you a better shot at hauling them in. Don't get me wrong...I like how the club is very low on hustle factor, etc...but sometimes I don't understand why dancers there are not a little bit more assertive. Anyway...hang in there and keep up the good work

    I'd just blow 'em off.... wouldn't say anything unless they brought it up again. At that point, I would say I spoke with ____ on 6/21 around X:XXPM and he said: ....

    They just see you getting dances and figure you are taking their money.

    At my girl's club there is a get-together with mangagement and dancers every night so everyone can hear the same things at once from management. it only takes 10-15 minutes max, and seems to be a good way to avoid conflicts in information like that. You might suggest to your management that they try a staff meeting once per week of so. Otherwise, I would definitely let the girls who told you that know you talked with management and they said it was fine to get dances between 7:30 and 8:00. Use a little white lie and say you asked management why you had to come in at 7:30 if you couldn't get any dances, and they told you to keep coming in at 7:30, and wanted you to get dances. But tell those girls directly so they have the right information, and so it doesn't look like you're trying to hurt their business after they told you not to get dances. Then it's mangement's fault, not yours.

    Amber, you snuck up and hugged me from behind at 7:37, so that makes me part of the drama. Awesome dances, BTW.... Next time you're alone with the dancer, mention that you asked the manager, because you weren't sure why they wanted you there at 7:30. That way she won't think you're just in her face when you keep getting dances in the first half hour.... It may have been a de facto thing, because many dancers need a half hour to smoke and take an alcohol IV before they have the nerve to dance.... Afternote: Michaeldane posted while I was writing, so we have independent agreement here.

    Just tell them that's the word out of the horses mouth and if they don't believe you then they can take it up with him themselves.

    Hey, Amber, you start at 7:30 so be it! Those girls just don't want you to take away possible clients from them. Too bad!!

    For what it is worth, I have found that it’s not always the most effective thing to react to, especially immediately, everything people do at work that is politically motivated. Waiting and learning who your opponents are and how they operate allows you to sometimes take advantage of them later when they least expect. People behave in patterns and each has their own. True satisfaction can come from out maneuvering someone without them knowing you did it. BAHAHAHA!!!

    You did the right thing by protecting yourself with management; same as in previous strings you had the bouncer keep an eye on things. You have excellent instincts I think.
    though we have heard of stupid haste in war, cleverness has never been seen associated with long delays
