    Default Seriously OVER this "Weight" shit, how do healthy ladies deal with stupid management.

    I am SO. Tired. Of. This. Shit.

    I got let go from one of the bars I work at tonight because of my "size".

    I want to say right off the bat, this is not a thread about actually medically overweight ladies having problems being hired slash keeping their jobs, I have been there in the past, but my situation currently is different in that I am at a perfectly healthy weight for my height and am dealing with what I would call an irrational situation as my stats are both the same as when I was hired at this bar, and also well within the ideal proportions for the clientele, I am consistently one of the top earners at this particular establishment...hence the extension of my miffedness...being a business person it bothers me that another business person could be so out of touch with his customers' needs...I already work at another good bar but I always do best here BECAUSE it is frequented by my target market...ironically it serves a more middle class\blue collar population and I would classify it as "mid tier" while my other bar I would say is "higher end". The whole thing took me by surprise.

    I have an excellent clientele at this bar and I consistently do well...even on slow nights like tonight...(I made 600 tonight and most of the other girls made half that or less...I heard them bitching in the DR)...and I was chatting with my girls on the way home and they were like "whaaaaaat" at both the letting go and how well I did...so... Apparently they were chatting with the assistant manager while I was in the office and he was confused as well as to the reasoning behind the whole thing (I get along well with all the staff) so...I don't know if I'm wrong but I feel like if there were ever a chance to fight for my case, this is it. This is the thinnest I have ever been "let go" at in my career and I sincerely believe it to be a bad slash unfounded decision. I have been let go at higher weights before and lost it and been let back...this really pisses me off because my stats (150ish at 5'7") are healthy, my bmi is about 22...while I went through a tough fall and *could*\want for myself to potentially lose 10lbs, I know the difference in my appearance is minimal (still fit all my clothes) if not detrimental (been down to 135 before and I lost my boobs and ass but basically looked the same). I am all for standards, all of us ladies need to look good, but let's be reasonable here...I feel like one of those models that's being told to do a bunch of drugs and barf up her dinner to "make weight" before fashion week :s When I got more into it the manager suggested losing 25 lbs as a benchmark...that would put me at 125 and not only have I NEVER been that thin before in life, but would put my bmi very low at 19...and with my muscular body type I don't think that would be attainable unless I basically never ate I got down to 135 last year and I was terribly cold and tired all the time. It was not good for me...

    I know that the owner has a "type" and that type is spinners--my bad luck of course, but I am wondering if I can get him to see reason and that a lot of his clientele like me, bottom line. I make money from even his walk-in traffic, regulars excluded--and I have a few of those as well. Luckily for me they are loyal and will see me at another place as well...but fuck...this place's customers really do like me the best out of all the clubs in the city that I have worked and I would like to stay there.

    Am I being crazy or completely rational about this. Having danced for 5 years, much of it at ~30lbs above what I am now, I really feel like this is complete bullshit, and for once, I can't rationalize doing nothing about it. Worst case scenario the asshole yells at me when I come in to chat, I tell him where he can put it, and peace out forever, and take my custies with me. Thanks in advance for any advice ladies.

    was it maybe another reason they fired you, and just gave that excuse? just happened to me at my last club, they want to get rid of you for whatever reason ( usually a bitchy manager who just has it in for you/ drama) and make up some random bullshit, i was also extremely down to business/didn't bother with club politics. i personally would just say fuck those idiots and take your regs to a better club/ healthier environment but if you do wanna continue still working there definitely talk to the manager, i know plenty of girls who get hired back after fighting for their jobs. just wanna say good luck!

    The only other reason I could think of that they may have which the manager did mention was scheduling issues (he said if I came in and talked to the owner that he might give that as an alternative reason). This club asks that you work a slow shift every week which I typically do (sun-tues) however I have spoken with the manager (ironically the one I had this conversation with on thurs night) about this before as because I have a vanilla job on top of dancing and am freelancing in my "professional" field, sometimes I am unable to make it in twice in one week, and will do say only a wed sometimes instead of sun, wed, or tues, wed (I typically dance at my other bar weekends). Very occaisonally I will randomly pop in thurs-fri (like this last week) if my vanilla job shift is cancelled. I still find that wierd though as I know other girls who are in school or work fulltime 9-5 jobs and only work fri or sat...I am going in tmrw, now that I've settled down a bit. Going to keep a positive spin on things and focus more on being a "team player" and a lack of bad behaviour with established clientele, and not say anything about his questionable business practices and intelligence lol. I mean, the dj texted tn saying there is still no girls and customers! I feel so bad for her, no girls, she's going to make next to nothing tonight. Owners like this really fuck with not only their own $ but everyone's' who works for them...I dunno in my experience negotiating with morons has not been super easy, but here goes nothing!
