    Default I got the sack!! (just a rant)

    I got fired yesterday from the club I've worked at for the past seven months. I've been working at another (much better) club for a few weeks, so it's not exactly a disaster. I am irritated, though.

    Supposedly, the reason I was fired was because I don't work enough shifts per week. The reason I don't work more is that the club only hired me for dayshifts and I have another job during the week, so I can only work Friday and Saturday afternoons. I've been begging the general manager for months to switch me to nights so I can work more shifts, and he keeps telling me that dayshift doesn't have enough girls and can't afford to lose any. I finally gave up and applied to work nights at another club owned by the same people. I've been working nights up there during the week and Friday and Saturday afternoons at the old club.

    I really tried to stay calm and explain all this to the manager. I happen to know that the club is desperate for dancers on both day and night shifts, so it seemed to me that switching me to nights and letting me work more shifts was a happy ending for everybody. But he just started yelling at me and telling me that working one or two days a week was "great" for me "but it doesn't pay my bills." Which is wierd because if he hasn't noticed, I pay the freakin' club every time I work there. I tip everybody out generously and never make any trouble. I have many regulars who come in on the days I work just to see me. But it's a clique-y place and I've never really kissed enough ass to be tight with management there.

    Oh, well. Just wanted to vent. I hate being treated like a dumb, disposable bimbo. Maybe this should have gone in the "managers are idiots" thread. Hell yeah they are.

    That's f-ed up Grace. I've had the most secure work experience when I click with the management. So, I know what you mean. If my relatonship with management takes a lot of maintenance it generally doesn't work out. Just relax into your new gig and be glad he didn't sack you when you were financially vulnerable. Try to see the blessing in it.

    I hate when people bring their personal BS to work because it shouldn't be the manager's private club but the general public's club. His social needs are hijacking the customer's needs.

    WTF is up with all these firings? This is the third one, for no good reason, posted here in as many days...

    If it's any consolation, refer to LilDreamer's "Managers are stupid" thread, lol.

    ^^I noticed this, too. It did occur to me that maybe management is anticipating the slow summer season and getting rid of excess dancers so their favorites can still make money...but this theory would imply that management thinks ahead and acts accordingly, and that might be a bit of a stretch.

    You said it is a cliquey place. These club managers think with their small head instead of their big one. They must have their pet girls in that clique that you're not part of. Plus the GM is probably mad that you aren't available during the beginning of the week when day shift is slower and girls are scarce. His pet girls probably don't want to work those days.

    Oh Well, if the day shift is slow, and you take your regulars with you that will cut the business down even more.

    ^^^Yup. And beleive me, I'll take everyone with me that I can.

    The Saturday manager called and asked me to come in yesterday. He had no idea I was fired, and seemed pretty upset. He has enough trouble getting girls to work on Saturday already -- said there were NO girls there yesterday at almost 1pm. I was almost always the first and only girl there for the first hour or two on Saturdays, so now they've got nobody. Ah, sweet revenge.

    I think this jerkoff just thought he'd intimidate you into compliance. God knows I've seen enough jerkoff managers pull that crap. One would think that in a club that's ALWAYS short on girls they'd start to realize those tactics aren't working and try out something else - like being nice maybe But it seems that when they're desperate for girls is exactly when they treat them worse. Talk about stoopid

    That's true. Some Managers stack their busy days and wonder why nobody wants to work just shit days. That situation only works if you can cultivate solid regulars on those quieter less competitive days.

    Great logic dude. There's not enough girls so I'll fire what I've got. I'd rather have you around my side of town anyways : P

    ^^^Thanks, girl! How come I haven't met you yet?!? I think I'll be working Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I know Tues is $10 dance night (kinda lame) but those are the only days that really suit my schedule. Hope to see you soon!

    Everything happens for a reason, I'm sure you'll have more success at the other club anyway because you won't be stressing about the management.

    Grace, your former club is going to shit, no one goes there anymore...stick with the new one, the boys there will treat you very well! It has, hands down, the nicest and most professional managers in town.
