I run the girls for two venues, open 15-20 hours a day.
I have certain restrictions, such as I cant have the same girl dancing for two shifts in a row at the same venue (but they are only 10minutes walk apart) so she can work arvo at one and evening at the other no problems.
They cannot work the exact same shift two nights in a row (so an earlier shift on a Fri, then the late shifts on Sat in fine)
Im also supposed to rotate girls, so they arent on the exact same shift two weeks in a row.
Then I get these girls (two in particular) who only make themselves available for specific shifts at a specific venue ie Weds after 6 at Barrack, and only make themselves available 1-2 shifts a week. The shifts they ask for are the peak money shifts.
So some weeks I cant give them any/enough shifts. Then they bitch about it. Unfortunately one is screwing (WAS, anyway, hes dumped her for a new chik hes chasing, but doesnt have a chance lol) a manager and the other doesnt actually do anything WRONG, so I cant just fire them and be done with it.
I wish both of them would leave to be honest!
Neither of them are willing to attempt to be more flexible.
I asked the second girl to work one saturday a MONTH so she could get enough hours and she refused, cos she wants to spend that specific day with her boyf. She cant dance other hours as she works at out major competition (Im not supposed to know that) She has worked only on Thursday arvo for 2 years, she will rarely take a tuesday arvo, but doesnt offer to change her hours on semester break etc.
This one ALSO bitches and when I said "Angel is a single mum, Lotus cares for her dying mum, they are NOT losing shifts for you" she got all pissy "well IM an international student, and school is SO expensive here"
The first girl will bitch around the club that im "forcing her" to get "massage work" but not giving her the shifts she wants.
SOME girls are rather set in their hours, as they have school or kids to be babysat, but they at least say "Weds/Thurs daytime please", and will ALWAYS take on extra shifts when there is no school, or they can get extra daycare etc, so its not a permanant few shifts each week for ever and ever.
The questions:
What do you expect from your club in scheduling shifts?
How do you organise your schedule?
How flexible are you?
Would you be inflexible then expect the best shifts?
What would you do in my position?
Thanks ladies!
