SOS! Help with Managing a Club Owner

[trump]

Thanks for the feedback everyone! And to those of you who disagreed with me-- I want to extend my extra appreciation... I already understood the club owner's issue, but you guys helped me to really see it like him and really regret my decision. (No sarcasm; seriously, thank you)

For those of you who care, here's a few responses to some of the questions/comments:

3rd. and yeah you offended the club owner, because you are a staff of Club-A and then you go to your competitor Club-B and help them out when you should have the band play at your club-A. Club-A & B are competitors and you work for Club-A.

You are DEAD-ON correct here. Unfortunately, Club-A wouldn't accommodate the band that was playing. We've already looked into it

maybe I'm not getting the full info here - are you the only DJ in town maybe?

It'd be naive of me to say I'm the only DJ in town... There's a few guys that are available and trying to get gigs at the various places. I mean, Bowling Green is over 50,000 people, and we're only an hour from Nashville, TN. However, I'm going to surrender my modesty for a moment to say that I'm likely the best in town at what I do. No way to be sure though.

I have a feeling you just found out why that one DJ "crapped out last minute" lol. Probably was due to an ultimatum with regards to where and how he should carry himself.

I don't remember 100% how it went down, but I think you're pretty much spot on. I can only think of 2 staffers who have left that club on amicable terms.

3. Next time just hit up the boss and let him know in advance.

I definitely let him know in advance (I still haven't done the show yet, but told him a while back), but I'm assuming you mean to be transparent about my actions? If so... Yeah, big lesson learned there.



Thanks for everything guys!

I think there is a prime opportunity for you to put your money where your mouth is and also gain a bit of favour back with your original bar manager who you had the beef with.

Organise a DJ comp at his bar?
