Hi,
Sorry in advance for the long story. I just need some feedback from fellow dancers.
I got a weekly noon gig every Friday at a Persian restuarant. The house dancer went back to school and left my friend in her place while the owner found a new dancer. I filled in for my friend while she went on vacation and the owners offered me to stay permanently. I told him my friend brought me there and it felt unethical for me to take the gig even if she knew he was still looking. He asked if I could then split with her and since she liked the idea, I agreed. Later he asked her if she could just come in when I couldn't and since she had gotten a job and she convinced me to stay, I did although I felt bad of how he cut her days. I was thinking of just telling him I couldn't continue when the ex-house dancer took a break from school and he told me she would be dancing that friday, then again next week and again this week. I saw my excuse to leave the place and told him that if she wanted to come back, I had no problem leaving. The issue is that he cancels on me last minute whenever the ex-house dancer has the chance to come back and dance on a certain day. I don't mind not going in because I work from home on Fridays but still work my full-time job so it's nice to stay home. I just feel he needs to be straight forward. When I told him I would stop going and would stay until he found a new dancer he convinced me to stay and said the ex-house dancer could go in some days to help me out. He is opening another restaurant and will have night time gigs available and told me I could dance there sometimes and when I emailed him asking him about his plans to plan around me schedule better, he just replied "sounds good."
