    Default Getting fired

    I'm currently going through a mental health crisis and just got a text from the club manager saying I've been fired. (Several other girls have been fired too) I've only been stripping for 2 months and now I'm wondering why I've been fired.I know it's most likely because lack of money or cos I worked part time but I can't help thinking that I'm a shit stripper. Though I guess one good thing is that now I can take a bit of a break and sort out my mental stability a bit before looking for another club, and maybe go into hospital. But I was wondering what other people's experiences are of getting fired, and if anyone knows of any clubs in London which are happy with part time workers?

    Don't take it personal, please, especially if they fired other girls. Definitely doesn't mean you're a shitty stripper.

    I've been fired once and it was a situation where anyone who wasn't tipping out what they deemed 'enough' was fired. The management had literally sat down with the tipout logs & made a list of 'sub par payouts'. This club takes a LOT of your money (house + cuts of VIP dances + another 10% of everything else) and it's on the honors system where you pay out when you leave... I pretty much always lied, so I'm not surprised I got the ax.

    Another club, sometimes the owner would come in from out of town & just 'clean up the roster' based on random whims. He didn't like Girl A's attitude, he thinks Girl B weighs too much, and the ever popular "You have too many of XYZ type of girl, don't hire anymore and I'm firing these 3".
    "People jack off with the left hand and point with the right."

    "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

    Sorry to hear that, did you ask why you were fired or did they tell you? I agree-don't take it personally! Also, fired from strip clubs isn't the same as getting fired from vanilla jobs. A lot of times, you're allowed back after a period of time. I've been "fired" from clubs and allowed back, but that was because I got too drunk at work-my fault!
    If you really want to work there again, I would ask why you were fired-sounds like you didn't do anything wrong though! May just want to go to another club. Best wishes!

    Just find another club, and if you want to go work there again, I bet they would re-hire you in 3-6-12 months from now.

    No, please don't torment yourself about it..if other girls were fired too, well, maybe they're just 'cleaning house' for no reason. It may be for the best, & also it's possible you can try to go back after a while.
    Glad you're taking a break, & taking care of yourself.

    I've been fired too, for contact during a dance with a vice cop. Anyhow, don't feel like a failure. And don't take it personally. Everything happens for a reason, and for whatever reason, the universe does not what you at that club right now. There may be better opportunities for you elsewhere too! For now, just take care of yourself and be good to yourself and when you're ready, you can find work again soon. Who knows, maybe at the new place, it will be a lot better! Like I said, everything happens for a reason.

    Yes that's what I'm trying to remind myself, looking at it a few days later I'm trying to see it as a good thing, I'm going to take a break then see if I I can find a club where I can stay longer term

    I've gotten fired like three times! And I'm always on time, work my butt off, follow,the schedule etc..and I make money. It was mostly cause of club politics. I'm not gunna kiss ass sorry. It does NOT mean you're a bad stripper girl!!
    Also, each time I've been glad I got fired cause I went to an even better club!! It got me off my ass and forced me to pursue better places

    getting fired and getting told "no" just dont mean the same in the stripping world as they do in the rest of the world.

    my experiences with getting fired:
    first time - I came to work and the known to be extremely moody manager told me I couldnt work and I asked if he meant tonight or ever and he said ever. and then i asked if there was a particular reason why and he said no. but this was at a time where the season hadnt picked back up yet and his shifts (night) were suffering and girls were complaining and he had been dropping hints at me that he was mad at me because i had danced elsewwhere in the summer/worked some day shifts because they fit better in my schedule. he just doesnt like girls that dont work for him 5 nights a week and he feels are under his thumb. and now im pretty sure he doesnt remember that happening and anyone i tell this story to makes a "oh please" face and say just show back up and he probably wont know the difference.

    this same manager also fired a girl for "disrespecting him" because he did something rude and she said "you didnt have to do that" and he said "WELL YOU DONT HAVE TO WORK HERE".

    second time - i was travel dancing, got hired during the day time, asked the night manager if i could stay and he seemed to not like me for some reason right off the bat even though the girl who got hired at same time as me also asked and he had no problem with her working nights (we didnt look very different if anyone wondering) and said fine but asked me if i had been drinking becuase my eye make up looked a little smudged under my eye (i mean i had had a couple cause its a strip club but i barely even felt tipsy, and of course it was smudgy, i had been working for hours already and just come off a 7 song stage set and done a few dances back to back). anyway, i ask night DJ how long I have till I go back on stage once I "fix myself" and he said not for a loooonggg time and I go out on the smoking balcony to talk to some customers and for whatever reason I got called to stage but couldnt hear it from out there and this is the kind of club where they basically just mumble a name once and if you dont hear it too bad. So I go back down to ask when I am going on and the DJ says I actually called you two girls ago, and im like ok well do you want me to go now or just wait and he radios manager to ask and manager says he doesnt want to see me on night shift ever again and DJ makes confused face and repeats this and says "i dont understand why though, hes in the office if you want to ask him". i didnt though because I was only in town a few more days and and didnt care that much or like the club very much anyway.

    third time - i didnt eat anything and drank and got super wasted on my first day at the club. was told I was put on a no drinking list but couldnt recall being fired. i show up to work a bout 3 weeks later and the manager says he had terminated my contract because i was super wasted and he doesnt tolerated that kind of drunkeness in his club and i wasnt allowed to drink in there ever and if it happened again i was done. but he let me work/reinstated my contract probably because if i dont drink there wouldnt be a problem most likely and because i came really early in the shift and he needed girls. but he kept making these awkward pauses when he talked about the no drinking like I was going to freak out and demand to drink.


    but ive seen girls get fired and rehired after actual incidents happening, not just random "cleaning house" or "its slow lets just start cutting people" or "im hangry cause my food not here yet, who elses life can i make hard".

    i would ask why and if it isnt something like "you got busted selling drugs to an undercover cop and got arrested at the club" which i am assuming it wasnt lol. then yeah, you can prob just show up in 2 months or something if you want or talk your way back in when its a busier time.

    I've worked at alot of clubs and have only been fired once and it was embarrassing but I'm glad it happened. I showed up to work with my stuff and a manager told me my contract was terminated and didn't know why so I left. But I ended up going directly to this other club nearby that I never tried to work at and it was WAY better and I made way more money there.

    I know why I was fired though because this bouncer who always would flirt with me and I never gave him the time of day became manager. Everytime he tried to get with me I brought up his wife & kids lol. Then what do you know he becomes manager and all of a sudden I'm fired but nobody knows why.

    So don't worry about it just find a new club and make way more money

    I have quit in a huff a couple times. It's different in the US because most clubs make a lot of money off a hardworking dancer so most want you to keep working until you're either "old news" there or tired of it.

    Due to the drama & unpredicatibility of the job some girls get fired "to make a point" then allowed to come back.

    I can add more later or PM you, I gotta go to my regular job. My advice, don't sweat it.

    Sounds like a good plan. Take some time off and relax. This could totally be a blessing in disguise.

    I had been fired from quite a few clubs in the UK and gone back. They change management a lot so I would just go back esp for minor things they won't remember you, London clubs go thru a lot of girls and you did not work there long so don't worry.

    I got fired prob twice in my entire 15 yrs of dancing. First time they had just switched mngmt & of course that's when they always "clean house" so to speak. Second time was by this bitch lady that thought I needed to lose weight *eye roll*, funny bc I was hired by someone different on a different shift that loved my look. Ugh I honestly don't miss having to deal with clubs anymore. I'm a proud cam girl now that works whenever the fuck I feel like it & can weight whatever I want

    When I first started at a club,I got fired after about 5-6 months. I sucked so bad,but what's crazy once I got my hustle better,I went back few years later and banked! It's normal,there's plenty of other clubs...but also take care of yourself FIRST.

    Girls get fired at my club and hired again in like a week, all the time. If you really love that place you might just go talk to the manager!
