THEORETICAL STIUATION:
Let's say you are a competent dj with over 16 years of experience. You have been at a job for a year in the biggest city in the state. The club chain you work for is one of the biggest in the country. You are the highest paid dj in the city; probably in the state. The owner and the vice president of the company both tell you they like you; and are happy that you are there. Etc.; etc.
Between 6-8 months ago the GM changed; they brought in a guy who had not been in management before but was from one of the other local clubs. He and you butt heads quite a bit;but he learns to leave you alone for the most part. You don't think he runs the club well; you have seen him pimp girls out and possibly relieve the club of some revenue; among other things, but of course you have no proof and you let it slide; knowing the nature of the beast. In other words he is the typical power-mad manager who trys to have sex with everything in sight; you know the type. This bothers you; but the chance for advancement and the good money keep you there. Pretty much every one else likes you and you are doing well. You are told this manager will not be there much longer.
One night you are running a special promotional contest and the GM is using the second (wireless) mike. It is damaged and shorts out a lot. The GM gets so mad about it that he jumps off stage in the middle of said contest and rushes your booth; screaming at the top of his lungs that you are a ********* ** **** and why are you cutting off his mike on purpose. He appears to be out of his brain on something, but who knows. At first you try to calm him down; but he continues to call you every name in the book and challenge you; getting right up in your face. Finally you snap and tell him off. The other managers come out and restrain him; NOT you. He tells the other mangers that he wants you out of his club. You collect your tips (since this is just a few min. short of closing) and you leave. You are not told anything else about the situation-whys or wherefores; nothing.
A few minutes after you leave you call the vice president and tell him what happened; making an effort not to sound completely predjudiced; trying to calmly relay what happened. He says that he will find out what is going on and call you back.
He never does.
A week later; you go to collect your paycheck. You leave and go to another club to put in an application. Your friend who is one of the lower managers at your former club calls you and asks if you will come back over to say hi and have a drink. You do so. WHile you are there; someone else who is friends with the vice president (not a manager) comes over and tells you that he (the vp) is in town. The person goes and talks to the vp, and says he wants to talk to you. So, you wait. (he's in a meeting). Suddenly, a different manager walks up and tells you that you have to leave (company policy) and that the vp left awhile ago. You leave; and call the vp again and leave a message asking what the heck is going on?
Then; your WIFE calls the vp. He answeres the phone. She calmly explains what just happened. He tells her to tell her husband to stay at the club and wait for him; he'll be back soon and does want to talk. She tells him that husband is already on the road back home (over an hour away). He tells her to call him back in an hour. They do so.
He never answers.
Theoretically, WHAT THE HELL?????
I mean; theoretically, one does not get to be VP of a leading company by not being able to tell ppl to fuck off if he needs to. What possibly could be served by leading someone on like this? Why not just say "you are fired; don't call me" or some such?
Oh; and btw; the dj that was hired to replace you is a complete idiot;he has never dj'd before; they have lost girls and customers over him (said girls and customers have called you and said so); and he is known to be a bad addict. (Your wife remembers when he used to work at her club-not as a dj- over a decade ago.)
THEORETICALLY.
I tell ya; how does this ever make sense? Course; I don't know why I bother with these crazy fantasies.![]()
