    Default Just quit my club

    I work this fucking stupid shift from 6-2. It's bullshit anyway because all of the later night girls only work six hour shifts, but if you work days or mid shift you have to work eight hours.

    Tonight I was having a shitty time because I am very depressed and a lot is going on in my personal life. It was about 1 a.m. and they wouldn't let me fucking leave until I did another set. So I stay, even though I was pissed. Then I get on stage and the dj plays a fucking FIVE SONG SET. I was over it.

    So I packed up my shit, but left my lock on the locker, because you know how we are, we always go back. Just like battered wives! And as I was leaving I told the main manager that I was leaving for a while and told him why (about the six hour shifts and shit), and he didn't even act like it bothered him at all that I was quitting.

    Let me tell you, there are maybe 10 great looking girls in our club, and I was one of them. The rest range from decent to street trash. It is as if they don't give a shit whether they have nice girls or not.

    Funny, in this business you can be on time, look great, do all of your sets well, sell a million dances, work like the energizer bunny, but when it comes time to ask for a little favor all of your efforts are nil. You might as well be the drunk bitch who starts fights in the dressing room, comes in late, pukes in the garbage can, misses tons of shifts. They treat us all the same way.

    So, tell me, what is to gain by being a good employee? Obviously personal gain, but why doesn't management recognize that some employees are more valuable than others. Are we really that expendable? Shit, don't answer that, I already know.

    And the suck thing is now I have to go somewhere and be the new girl, which means I have to be nice to all of the stupid bitches in the club who love to give attractive girls a hard time. All I have say is if they mess with this bitch they are going to get more than they bargained for.

    Yes, I am feeling really violent. I almost bashed this dumb cunt's head into the wall in the bathroom. I mean, I actually visualized it while she was blah blahing about some dumb shit. I saw my hand shoving her in the face where the back of her head would go through the fucking wall. God that would have felt good. I have rage inside of me and I am really worried about where it's going to go.

    Me too. It must be contagious. I think I'm PMSing.

    The thing is that we aren't employees. We're making all that money for us, not them. Maybe we help the clubs image out along the way, but they usually don't feel like we're doing anything for them.

    Sorry it sucks.

    Our GM acts like it IS our job to help the club. He acts like its this big team effort, but there are no rewards for those efforts. And it isn't like we get paid like regular employees. I could see the team mentality if it was like that. But we are supposed to be Independent Contractors, obviously we all know that is a bullshit term for what we actually do when we are employed by places like this.

    The suck thing is that I have liked working there and I have made shitloads of money there. But right now I feel nothing but resentment when I walk through those doors and that tells me I need to get away from there for awhile.

    Oh sweetie, I can't even express how sorry I am about this. When I went to see you just barely a week ago with my guy we were both talking about how the club was so lucky to have you there.

    And you're absolutely right: you're beautiful, you have your head on straight at work, you put on a good stage show, you're a clean dancer...they should be kissing your ass to kingdom come for working there!

    The sad part about dancing is that strippers ARE treated as being eminently expendable. And the sad thing is that it's so the same in so many jobs, not just dancing.

    I winced at the "battered wife" comment, not because of PC bullshit, but because it's true. Dancing keeps getting so much harder that if you happen to find a club where BJ's aren't the norm you figure it's a on OK place to work.

    I just want you to know I love you and am here if you need me. And I'll see you in less than a week!

    Edited to add: I danced for almost six years and part of the reason I got burned out towards the end and quit was because I did try my best to be good to the club and even though I was a top earner at most places, other than that I rarely saw any other kind of reward from management, especially at the last two places I worked in (namely Hustler Baltimore and PEC in NYC). Remember to keep your eye on the prize and stick to your goals.

    The sad thing is, I've always felt that the smarter girls tend to get the shaft because they seem to know there's a "better way" but the overwhelming majority of clubs don't know how to treat their best dancers properly.

    Now you know exactly how I felt--Remember when I came back and you said, "I thought you hated (club)?" Well, yeah, I do. But...I work there. Ugh. You may be back, you may not. Either way, I highly recommend taking a break by working somewhere else, then maybe coming back. I have to club hop. That is something I've learned about myself. I just take the bullshit as long as I can and then I move on to new bullshit. Eventually I won't be able to take any of it and hopefully I'll have saved up enough money by then to tell them all to fuck off.

    Our club is gonna go down the tubes, by the way. But you know that.

    Yeah, they all try to treat you like your part of the team on the employee bus. I just ignore it and give them exactly as much as they really give me... which is nothing, most of the time. It does wonders for my levels of resentment.

    It really pisses me off when they do shit like this. It's like they never remember the thousands of times I have said yes (like working a double shift or staying late when others don't show up) but, they ALWAYS remember the one time I said no or ask for that that one favor and they cop an attitude.

    This gets to me too. In other jobs, rising above the crazy, drunken catfighters would be rewarded, or at least recognized. Yet every strip club I've been to, it rarely if ever seems to pay to play by the rules and act like a responsible adult.

    Hope you bounce back soon, Andygirl. It's truly the club's loss.

    ahhh! i know how you feel! i so am not looking forward to that myself. i hate going to a new club. that really sucks that they acted like it was no biggie.. but how come if you work mid shift you have to work more hours than the girls who work nights?

    Lena & I had this conversation about a particular club we both worked....Laziness on the part of management is common in this industry. They're all aspirant pimps.

    Re: being the new girl elsewhere- I will unveil my bitchiness here, but I enjoy being the new game in town & showing up other dancers. LOL It's not ALL bad....You can't be too pessimistic about a new start somewhere else.

    As for the rage, I think you should take up boxing or smoke some ganj. It's not worth it to lash out on people who haven't earned your wrath. This sounds like a situation that was coming to a head.

    Aww sweetie, I am so sorry. You certainly are very, very hot and you know you can get hired anywhere. Don't worry about the other bitches in a new club, just ignore them.

    But yeah, I can TOTALLY relate, have walked out of several clubs myself. Take it easy for a week and see where to go from here. You have all our love and support

    Yeah, I mean, I'm familiar with the bullshit of clubs, it hasn't been that long that I was out of the business. What bothers me most is that I really did like working for them, but all I wanted was to work Mon., Wed., 6-12 and then Sat. 6-2. You'd think they'd be able to make concessions for such a reasonable request.

    And all of the talk about the half million dollar remodel.........well, I'll believe it when I see it. M.O. is a big bullshit artist and you can't believe a word out of his mouth.

    I agree completely, it is the same at my club. Our manager wants to lecture us about girls showing up on time, at the end of the night, lecturing the girls who obviously show up and work til close. So we're sitting there at 3 am getting yelled at because other lazy girls don't show up. And on top of it, they don't fine girls for not showing up. They don't want to take the responsibility to make sure girls are there, they would rather complain endlessly instead of just taking a simple action that 99% of other clubs do.


    If they want a team mentality then they should be giving monthly bonuses for increasing sales or something. I make my own money, and if they're lucky, I'll make them money too. I could give two craps if Susie next to me makes 40 dollars or 4000, as long as I'm paying my bills.

    What do they say when you ask for your specific schedule? I would tell them to take it or leave it and if they don't want you 3 days a week then they can have you 0. Especially if you've been there a while and you are one of the more attractive girls, they should say yes. If not, it is their loss. Work one or two more weeks, tell all your customers which club you are moving to, and go.
