    Default So I got fired....

    I have been at the same club for 2 years, last week they changed mangement on me and now tonight I have been asked to "take a break" and could try coming back in 30 days by the new guys. Last time we shifted managment the origional team literally told me I was on thin ice for being black but they liked me and I was safe only to be fired a week later. Has anyone dealt with this, like management changing then suddenly people start getting let go? I feel like im over reacting but I did ask the manger why and he said he didnt have to tell me but there was a "complaint" and take a breather and come back. Judging by the fact I had the worst night in 6 years and sat with zero customers Im lost as to what the real reason was. Now im just left bummed I have to find a new customer base and get used to new staff.

    Might be a blessing in disguise. Did someone start a rumor about you? Honestly dancers are better served by moving around a lot. Go find a new nest & keep hustling.

    Maybe it was because you're black. I agree with Snuffle though, that sounds like a blessing in disguise. Do not be hard on yourself at all, get out there and find a new club since it sounds like your home club was dying anyway.

    it might very well be because you are black. i just started at a new club and was told that "oh they'll let you do nights soon, because you're white. they let me do nights because i'm light skinned". never underestimate the racist nature of this industry.
    it honestly sounds like an excuse to me "we got a complaint"? i was fired last year too because i gained weight, but was told some other bullshit excuse. definitely move on to a better club!

    Apparently in the long chain of manger/stripper gossip I wasnt the only one who was fired and apparently it was for not being able to pay my fees two days in a row and they think its on purpose since they dont know me. The house mom im the closest too just called me saying If I come in and work a double tomorrow the dayshift managers will let me but I feel like thats behind new managments back and it would make coming back when its good worse. Idk im on the fence my bf says call them and have a sit down chat and explain the situation instead of just showing up but regardless get hired at a couple other places as back up.

    Any place that you can't pay house at 2 days in a row is a complete dub. Thats a 100% a blessing and take advantage of it. I feel dancers who move a lot make more anyway. You know the saying "comfortable people lack possibilities". Dancing has a time limit, you have no time to be comfortable.
