Why It’s So Freakin Important to be to Work on Time

There are numerous reasons why you should ALWAYS be to work on time.  It’s one of my pet peeves, and honestly there have been a few times I haven’t been able to be there exactly when I was supposed to be, but life happens and I always felt bad for being even 5 minutes late.  Here’s some legitimate reasons why you should also strive to always be to work on time, no matter what profession you are in.

1.  It’s very unprofessional to show up late, and your excuses don’t ever sound as good as you think they do.  Remember, dancing is a Job.  You usually either get a base pay for being to work on time, or worst you may be subject to a penalty out of pocket if your club requires it for showing up late.  It also puts a bad taste in managers mouth’s when a girl is consistantly late and they will remember it the next time they are calling girls to come into work.

2.  Showing up late takes time away from you actually working the floor or getting on stage.  Depending on what your average hourly pull in is, and how late you are, you just missed out on “x” amount of money that potentially could have been yours.  Also you missed out on time that could have been spent building relationships with customers that could later turn into private dances.

3.  It may cost you your job that nite, or worse, that week.  And now you just lost out on ALOT of money.

4.  Being late also creates drama with other girls.  They will bitch you missed your set, that why they are letting you come into work so late when they are always there on time, blah, blah, blah.  Regardless of what it is exactly they are saying, you can almost guarantee there will always be at least one complaining about your tardiness.

Whatever your reason, even if it is genuine, there is no great reason to be tardy.  But in the event you are going to be, MAKE SURE you call the club and let them know that you will be late, the reason why, and what time they can expect to see you there.  This will save some face for you, and they will appreciate knowing what’s going on with you and why you aren’t there on time.  Rant over.
