I am sick of people hearing about my gig and automatically assuming that I'm an immoral pervert who can't be trusted around kids or patients. Point in case: While I was working as a nursing assistant in a group home for mentally retarded people, a coworker's boyfriend recognized me and word got around. My female coworkers were all nasty about it, but one 50-year old coworker went especially apeshit. She said that such dirty, nasty whores cannot be trusted around such vulnerable people like the residents. Oh come on, what the hell would I have done? Sexually molested people who will always have the mentality of a 3-year old? Buy them porno magazines? Met clients OTC while on duty during night shift? I loved my job and did far better than the other slackers there, and the residents and moms all loved me.
I eventually quit before I could get fired. Yes, I know that they couldn't fire me for stripping, but they were out for my blood and were digging for excuses (reporting me for the littlest things, making stuff up for reporting, leaving huge messes for my shift, going through my mailbox, bullying me, scheduling me on weekends when I'd be making the most money). The main reason I quit was because they were holding my male coworker responsible for accomplicing me by helping me juggle the jobs. They didn't even ask me if I was stripping at first, they asking him. Petty, backstabbling, cowardly bitches. He had a wife and kids to support and I didn't want to put his job in danger as well, so I quit.
Do any of you face the same prejudice? I'm especially directing this questions at you moms who do PTA and associate with other people's kids.
