    Default Terrified of being fired again

    A while back I was fired from a club, I was told it was my fault becuase of my personality but a bunch of girls got fired and the club was running out of money so in reality it was probably that, I had a break and now I'm back dancing at a different club but every shift I'm terrified that il get fired, especially seeing my pole dancing is bad in comparison with the girls who have been dancing for years, and I'm quite shy. I just can't get it out of my head and I know if I get fired again it will drive me over the edge

    There are lots of clubs. This is not really a "job" in that sense. You need to focus on the customers- because they're your market and your client and the whole reason your job exists and you're the product- your body, your hustle, your dance- you're not an employee folding shirts or flipping burgers... You're a contractor- you are the reason the customers are there, to see you, if you piss off the manager you can go work anywhere, the "job" will be the same, because you're the job. That's what freelance means.The clubs don't care about you and they will do exactly nothing to validate you or make you feel valued in any way. Your customers value you with their money, and you value their money. The managers and the other girls are just the scenery. That's why a stripper will walk away on you midsentence if she sees someone with money walk in.

    Getting fired is the risk you take when you are working for someone else.

    The only way to secure it is to create your own income. outside of the club and being completely dependent on your own skills and efforts.

    Clubs I've never been fired from I just leave because I couldn't figure out how to keep up with club politics and dramas. Escort agencies I've been let go off based on their stupid mental mind fucks.

    things didn't get better until I found a way to be independent and make my own income. which I think everyone in adult work should be focusing on.

    I agree with Minne's advice in general, in the real world. If you want to strip however, I feel like dancing in clubs is much better than dancing independently. For one, you can really only do stag parties or private shows; which a lot of men would take to mean escorting. If you cam you can certainly cam independently; but you have to work your butt off to get traffic.

    You are not going to get fired because of your lack of pole skills. That is just insane. If you are not very good up there do not try to do things that you have not mastered when there are people actually in the club. As far as your personality, if you can not figure out at least how to fake it, you're going to have a very difficult time being successful.

    If getting fired will send you over the edge then you shouldn't dance. Chances are it will happen again. I got fired from bunch of clubs in the Uk and went back. every girl I worked with had been fired. its not a big deal but happens a lot. . But seriously its not a big deal there are lots of clubs to chose from maybe try outside of London where the clubs are more chill. London is a very tough place to dance and only a few clubs are worth it.

    It's not just about being independent in the adult industry. there are plenty of other things you can do to secure your income outside of working clubs, escorting and camming. which will definitely help ease that anxiety of wondering if i will be fired.

    I have a mental illness I'm irrationally scared of being fired from my other job too. I'm currently not working in LinkedIn I'm working in a different area

    Try to keep the VOLUME of clubs in mind. There are just so many that even if you were to run into an issue ( could be low money , bad customer , getting fired , or other reason ), that there are MORE places to try!

    There are 6 clubs in my town, I've worked at 5 and been fired from 3 (maybe 4, I haven't been back there since my fight with the manager). I've been fired for putting on weight, only wanting to work one night a week in my last semester of Uni, and pocketing a $50 tip instead of giving management 40%. Having a change of scenery is good for your attitude and money. Tell any regulars that you wanted a change of scenery, strippers change clubs all the time. The grass might be greener somewhere else anyway. Without knowing more details I'm not sure why you got the boot. Does the club take a cut of your dances and you're not doing enough? Are you unreliable or lazy? I've seen clubs do a "cleaning of house" and getting rid of a bunch of girls that they felt they would be better off without. It's not that common for a club to get rid of girls just because it's quiet. They don't pay them to be there, and they make money collecting house fees etc, plus there are always girls who don't turn up. It's usually the dancers who complain that there are too many girls on for a Monday night and that management should limit the number of girls on.

    I don't think it was becuase I was lazy, becuase I'm very hard working, I said I couldn't do loads of nights becuase I'm at uni so it may have been that but I don't think it was my personality , becuase that came across as an excuse, several girls were fired and if it was my lpersonality then why did they hire me

    Personality is actually something that can be hidden, but usually only for a few weeks. I think that they just said that as an excuse though. Like when I was told to get pole lessons what she actually meant is "get some exercise"

    Yea I was fired from a bunch of clubs for various reasons.....I've been fired from some clubs once then came back and got fired again haha....try not to take it too seriously in this industry managers can be coke heads coming down just annoyed to see ur face lol....I get that anxiety too...but it's fairly easy to get fired from a place like a strip club I think of it more as being "banned" or kicked out from a night club that maybe you can go back too again lol....we rent clubs space ...run our own business within their walls....

    I got fired from several clubs in Indy, mainly for being under 21. But, one time for lipping off a manager. I usually moved on to the next club and still earned. Having contact info was and still is gold. I'd go into work with 2, maybe 3, sometimes 4 VIP's lined up. Not as good as Minnie's go independent route, but not bad either. If I was dancing today, I'd probably alternate between porn, escorting and dancing. Make the big bucks, save as much as I could and fade out just as soon as I'd made my goal.
