    Default Fuck. I'm terminated.

    Huh. My club renewed contracts last month, I missed the boat due to a pretty nasty bout of depression. I went in tonight, figuring it would come up & get dealt with at some point. I sold a dance & my electric 'key' that clocks our dances was disabled. I went to the office to notify them and they told me there was a note on the computer from the other manager saying that my contract will not be renewed. WTF!?
    Anyone else dealt with this? They would not give me ANY information on why I am fired. The manager I was talking to kept saying it was not their decision & they would have kept me on. I never had any behavioral issues, broke any rules or had any problems.

    The manager that doesn't want me on is female & in charge. The manager that said I'd be fine to stay is male. In general I'm a pretty unglamed up stripper...I never do my nails, I only sometimes do my hair, I don't wear tons of make up...I'm wondering if this is the kind of stuff a woman would be more aware of & she thinks I look sloppy/unprofessional. My body hasn't changed much in the 10 months I'e worked there. I did just turn 29 & noticed a lot of the newer girls looked very young (18-20) I can probably pass for 22, but not 18.

    I was pretty upset with the way it was handled. Just a very rushed, dead pan 'You're contact isn't renewed' - no explanation. Is it irrational of me to think it warrants an explanation? I kept my cool & intend to go in during the day when it's slow & find out why. I' m hoping there's a chance it's something I can change (doing hair better, toning up, something.) Is that realistic?

    I'm afraid they did a big overhaul & fired a lot of girls, it just really sucks because this is the best club I've worked at. I know that if I'd renewed with another manager earlier on I'd still have a job. I was making good money, so I just don't get it. I really don't want to go back to other clubs Ive worked because they are awful, A LOT of drugs & extras & drama. I was so glad to be away from all that, it almost makes me want to quit dancing entirely.

    Advice/perpective or your own experiences appreciatd

    These days, clubs who can only have a limited number of dancers on the 'schedule' are beginning to take a look at how much money individual dancers are generating for the CLUB, not just for themselves. Put another way, if a 'clean' dancer earns good money by selling x private dances / VIP's, but an 'extras' dancer is able to sell twice as many private dances / VIP's because 'extras' are offered, the CLUB receives twice as much revenue from the 'extras' dancer.

    Similarly, it may be an attempt at upscale 'image building' on the part of the club to better compete with other clubs offering 'extras' in the same market.

    Ann is very cool. Go in and talk to her. She appreciates old school hustlers. I had a problem with a manager there not reneweing my contract( mine was because I ignoired him when he kept asking me to come do it and I was drinking heavily) Ann was fine with it but I traveled in and never got to speak with her. Btw all those managers are gone from then 2 years ,except ann.

    Easy there cowgirl. While I think Melonie may be jumping the gun w/ her comment (just based off info provided by the OP), what she suggested is actually the reality in sm areas. Must be nice to have the luxury of not staying in most places long enough for that to be an issue for you, since you travel so much.

    OP, maybe your 'unglammed' look is part of it, I am pretty 'unglammed' myself at work. Altho I always try to have my nails done, my idea of 'glammed up for work' is having sm rhinestones on my outfit, hair usually in a high ponytail, & wearing eyeliner+eyeshadow together(nvr combined in my everyday makeup) & I don't do fake eyelashes. It has not generally been a problem for me but at sm clubs it wouldn't fly, too casual.

    Maybe try to get in & see the 'in charge' mgr to get a clearer explanation -- if you were doing smtg wrong, ho can you fix it w/o being told what it is? -- but also consider whether you would want to keep working at a place that will pull the rug out from under you like this.

    ( bites tongue )

    Actually it's ~5 years not 10 since I last danced regularly. However, I still have friends who own clubs, or are still regularly dancing, so I do hear things about club goings-on even though I wasn't physically there to see them for myself.

    In regard to your comments, please review the OP's post and my own post ... the question the OP asked which I attempted to provide a speculative answer for was WHY a club would take such an action. The OP provided the info that 'extras' are a factor at other clubs in her market, as well as the info that she is a 'clean' dancer. Since the replacement of 'clean' dancers by 'extras' dancers is already the case in more than a few clubs, I raised that possibility. The OP also provided the info that she often dances with a 'less than glammed up' image. If this club is trying to differentiate itself from area 'extras' clubs by trying to stake out an 'upscale' market niche ( where a glammed up image is of increased importance ), I raised that alternative explanation as well.

    It's common knowledge that virtually every club is now forced to deal with higher costs of doing business ( rising property taxes, utility bills, insurance premiums ) at the same time that most club customers have fewer after-tax 'discretionary' dollars available to spend - which, if all else remains equal, results in fewer revenue dollars for the clubs. Some clubs are profitable enough to absorb this 'profit margin compression' without taking action. Some clubs are not, and are forced to take action to improve club revenues by whatever means available, to avoid a slow descent into bankruptcy. And any corporate chain club which must pay dividends to investors / stockholders is guaranteed to be under a great deal of scrutiny regarding current profit margin, since a falling profit margin means falling investor / stockholder dividends thus no bonuses for club management.

    I quit dancing for 6 years and returned last year. Pretty much nothing has changed in that time, aside from the return of the money to my town. SSDD. Melonie has a lot of experience in the business and has seen a lot of different clubs in a different regions.

    Although things like payment systems and text messaging customers is new, there were similar set ups in the biz all along. Clubs near truck stops would make the girls flirt w/ truckers over CB, customers would call/page their favs instead of text or email. And clubs have always had their BS rules about who can work and who can't. And it's always had to do with the managers and owners personal biases.

    I know that Melonie comes across as a know-it-all at times, but her knowledge about this industry is unparallelled. You won't find a better source of information on the business here or on any other forum.

    I beg to differ. I've danced at every top club in the country and have 22 years experience. That's why I'm being ask to train newbies and getting paid well to do so. And when it comes to info on clubs no one can touch me here on the info I have and have given!

    I've been there got fired from my home club and everywhere in houston is ghetto and even I was one of the better looking girls men would be cheap. I started escorting and no longer dance. Unless I could get back into my home club I don't see myself going back to dancing any time soon.

    Even if you are a beautiful girl this is a business that's all about selling a fantasy. You should be getting at least a basic mani/pedi and do your make up and hair every shift. Wait a couple weeks and try to go back once the situation has blown over.
