Cover-up lies?
« on: 10 April 2011, 10:15:19 pm »
I've started working in the past few weeks... only had a handful of clients so far and I damn like it! I'm enjoying the money, I'm enjoying the sex and I have only met perfect gentlemen so far.

My main reason for getting into sex work is to earn a satisfactory amount of money without having to work nearly from dawn 'til dusk as I have to in my regular job if I want decent money... So here comes my request for advice from you: I want to start working fewer hours in my regular job and I don't know how to introduce this to my employer. In the longer term, I am looking at giving up my current "normal" job if being an escort works for me, but I am not ready to do so as yet.

I have already started turning down some of the shifts they offer and expect me to take up and I am happy with having more free time, but I am pretty sure it won't be long until my manager will want an explanation. I've been thinking to tell him myself that I'm starting a little business of my own and therefore will only be able to work for them on a part-time basis from now on. But what if they ask details about my business, or my work colleagues will casually ask me questions? I definitely don't want to tell them I'm an escort, but I am hard pressed to find a credible lie. To tell them that I'm a maseuse? It won't be convincing, especially if co-workers ask questions, since I am on friendly terms with the majority of them and some got to know me quite well. I don't have any qualifications that would help me tell them that I start a business in any particular field.  Any ideas/suggestions about what I could tell them?

You could tell them you're doing a home study course on accounting or something similar, pick a boring subject that people wont want to talk about in great detail lol

you dont need to give an excuse for turning down extra shifts, neither really do you need one for reducing your hours.
But if your stuck for one go for something simple like studying or looking after an elderly relative.
The latter seems to work the best as people dont want to say the wrong thing and therefore wont ask any follow up questions.

You can tell them you're doing some "entry data" job from home. I have a  friend who's a stay at home mom and does it. She just sits in the computer for hours (gets payed by the hour). Just google on: "entry data jobs from home" and you can get all the details as to what these jobs entitle.

Another excuse is you're working as a personal assistant for this female top executive. You basically  run all type of errands for her,  write letters, go to the bank, water her plants, organize her personal life, take her clothes to the dry clean, buy tickets for concerts (she loves theaters) , make sure that her cleaning lady does her job properly, take her dog to the vet, handle her correspondence, organize business dinners, make reservations in restaurants etc..etc... She's just a very busy woman  who travels a lot. She also pays well :-)

Just tell them you want some more time for yourself. Can always throw in the studying excuse, or simply that you want to spend more time with family.

Also, Before I quit my main job I applied for a career break, which was granted so I got all my holidays together about 26 days then 6 months unpaid off but the job was still open for me after the 6 months, I told them at the end of that time that I wasnt going back but I wanted to keep it open just in case it didnt work out for me.

I would recommend telling them you have decided to go back to college and you are studying part time. Most people seem v  understanding of the fact that you are doing this job as a means to an end; and often seem to even really respect that you have goals and aspirations. Especially clients, because they feel good about the idea that they are somehow helping you achieve your dreams etc; but also agencies as well. It shows that you are driven and focused and let's face it, whatever hours you are able to work they still profit from it so shouldn't be an issue.x

I eventually sent them an e-mail a few days from opening this subject saying that I have started an independent professional project and will take on fewer hours working for them in the future. I've seen a few raised eyebrows the day after from the manager and a few colleagues, but I stayed aloof about it so no one asked me anything directly.  No other problems after that,  I am now working less in my "real life" job and am happy.
