Hi guys, bit of advice required here.
So a band I joined in august full time (upgraded from well used dep status) pay is low but there are plenty of gigs which was great at the time.
Now!! turns out that on some gigs I have been paid sometimes £30 or £40 less than others for no real reason. Pissed off to say the least.
My original plan was to stick it out till the end of the year and I was swithering as to whether I should stay but now i am definately leaving at the end of the year.
Got 8 more gigs so cant just jump ship now as that is nice xmas money.
My dilemma is how to quit??
Obviously discussing pay in this band has been a no no and if i say to the guy incharge that the reason is I am being paid less than others (on top f other reasons) means I drop the other guys in it. I don't want them to lose the work and land them in it.
So should I be honest and lay my cards on the table - professionally of course or should I lie and say I want to follow other things or I've joined another band or something./
Cheers group.
