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
