    Default Another Evil DJ Rant.

    Well, I quit my club last night partly because of the DJ. I don't know why he dislikes me, probably because I assumed he was being tipped to let girls leave early when I should have been one of the first to do so (this is NOT ok at the club, we aren't allowed to bribe the DJ.) Well I confronted him and he said that he hadn't been paid so I let it slide.
    Last night every time we had a dance special, instead of hustling for another dance I had to go on stage directly after. So it seemed like all I did was dance specials and stage work, specials amount to $15 for two dances instead of the regular 40, this DOES NOT ADD UP.
    Well, I kept trying to remember when I was on or off the stage and I accidenally got off the stage when I had two more songs (we work on three stages two songs per stage.) Yes, six songs is overkill! And we had very few dancers so I was up on stage pretty much every half hour for a half an hour.
    In any case I went up to him at the end of the night to tell him I want to double with another girl and he chews me out for having got off the stage earlier in the night. I must add, that when I realized my mistake I jumped back on it and finished my set.
    I made an honest mistake and was pretty worn out from being on and off and on and off every few minutes.
    I don't like problems and always apologize if I realize that I offended the dj, but this one wouldn't let me say anything so I let him scream at me and promptly left the club. I had someone tip him for me(yes, I still paid him). I told my fave manager that I didn't appreciate being yelled at, he didn't either.

    Well, the DJ said he didn't know that all I wanted was to ask to double up. What did he think I wanted to chit chat? Well, he tried to defend himself by saying I had said nothing about wanting to double up, well when you are screaming at me, what am I supposed to say?

    So, I think I am done at that club. I left early so they would want to fine me and I am not about to pay it. There are many other reasons why I have wanted to leave that place (one of which being a dancer was able to walk around in one of those thong-shorts that tie at the side with her butt hanging, but for some reason none of the other dancers can, we all have to wear skirts or dresses no shorts.)
    Grrrrrrr.....

    I've had it out with a few DJs, sometimes their fault somtimes mine, but I have NEVER been chewed out! Especially over a stupid mistake I had made hours before. I think this is one relationship that I can't mend with a "sorry" on either side.

    Just had to get it all out. I'll be going to a club that has a juke box and we don't have a DJ to tip so maybe this is for the best. One less person to possibly get tired of.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    I'm not qualified to give advice on such things, except you are probably right in quitting, but between the dancer that alicia0033 almost had a fight with last night, this DJ, and perhaps one or two ex prison guards as bar owners, someone could open up the strip club from hell.

    What is it with these guys - do they have some sort of complex or something? Overcompensation or what, geezus. Just let us do our job for chrissakes!

    Yeah that sucks. At my club I always have girls getting on or off stage at the wrong time (my rotation style can swing as many as 6 diffrent ways in a night, plus having to change things last min), and besides the girls who screw off on poupose, I have never gotten mad about that kind of thing. It appears you jumped back up again and a little confusion can happen. Well I have yelled at girls before, but most of the time they had it comming (other girls have supported me to management), but I dont make it a habbit. Once again, please dont make general acusations about all DJs because of this. Not that you are, but it always seems to end up that way here. Ive come to the general conclusion that DJs (for the most part) suck and I wish I wasnt one because I get dumped into this asshole catagory ( Im more of an executive DJ..........ok bad joke).

    Oh, I understand the whole "lumped in one category," I think it just happens because of the fact that we all have so many problems with the DJs.
    I have a ferw favorites and I actually did like this guy when he started. I guess the power went to his head, since they control our music and now that we can't really even reach him. He was a nice guy at one time, they all are, but a few grow from a good seed into a bad one and this one just seemed angry all the time.
    I know your jobs can be frustrating, but he was in a bad mood when he got there, as if was my fault he was running late, heck I have to pay a fine!
    I don't think they are all bad nor are all managers dicks, but just a few of the awful ones ruin our memory of the great ones.

    Thanks big Green, but I think I need a long break. I haven't liked being there in forever. I would go to your club but my bf's friends all go in there and I know it wouldn't be fair to him to do that.
    I hope you are doing well and know that you were always a great Dj. This was just one that isn't cutting the mustard, and also on his way out whether he is ready or not, but you know how it is at that club. The best or the worst never last anyway.

    I know who your talking about dtown,he is already gone,he is just there to push play right now.
    He is being replaced with someone you have worked with before and grown to lubs at two different clubs that I know of.
    Its NOT me lol,and i cant tell you who its is yet cause the ink isnt dry and the announcement has not been made,but before you make anything final,talk to that fav manager next week after the 4th fiasco weekend before making your decision.

    A break is a break,everyone needs them often in this chit.I say take your man away for a break!!!!!Have fun and bring me back an 8oz coke bottle!!!!

    I think it would be hard for you to burn a bridge there,even if you had a can of napalm,your in the commercial!
    Comming back when ya want will never be a prob IMO.

    Bah! Again, I'm with PhillyDj on this one. It's hard to do this job sometimes because of all the DJ-bashing that goes on. Of course, most of them deserve it. This guy sounds like an asshat. So much of the stuff that happens in the club is pointless to flip out about. I'm not saying I have never done it, but it's much better to take a deep breath and move on then to yell at someone or lose my shit for any reason. It's self-defeating. It's really difficult to keep a festive mood going when you're all uber-cranky, so why bother. Sorry you had such a bad experience, but do remember some of us Dj-types are nice guys.

    That is not really a good deal you got, mistakes are gonna happen during the course of a night. The fact he "screamed" at you is totally unproffesional and I cant understand why the management would have allowed him to treat you like that. I have had my share of headaches or performers that give me them but I have never screamed at one. Some people just need to switch to decaff.
    No matter what happens A dj should never treat a dancer like that, a simple reminder nicley gets you alot further. I too am sorry this guy was a dick, it makes the last of us good guys look even worse, and we automaticly are hated to begin with. So we dont need guys like him help the cause. I am sorry you are going to a jukebox club, you will find they have there own share of problems, but dont let one bad dj ruin your perscepton of us all.

    Hope things get better..
