    I got fired...

    For not showing up on a day that I wasn't scheduled for!

    Ok, short synopsis: last night as I'm walking out the door, the manager (who is quite tempermental and I'm pretty sure a cokehead but is generally OK to deal with) approaches me and asks if I can work tomorrow/today. Seeing as my mom and me had plans for a day at the spa that we booked and paid for a month ago, I simply replied "I'm sorry, I can't". Manager then speaks briefly about how there are only 6 girls booked for tomorrow, and we're starting to lose business because we don't have enough girls, blah blah, OK fine, goodnight. No big deal.

    As I'm leaving my apartment today to meet up with my mom, I get a call from the other manager, who is a bit more buddy-like in his approach. He asks me what happened, that manager A is pissed off because I'm not "helping out" the club and that I told him I "wouldnt work" because I don;t make money on Thursdays!!! WTF, I NEVER said that at all!!! I told manager B that I never said anything like that, that I simply had other plans and that it's not fault if they don't have enough girls. Manager B says OK, I'll see you on saturday (my next scheduled shift).

    2 hours later, Manager A calls me and I call himback in the bathroom.
    "Are you coming in?"
    "No, I can't"
    "Then you can't come back. " Hangs up.
    10 minutes later Manager B texts me, "Sorry, I was told to tell you you're fired".


    Sorry, I guess that wasn't all that short, but I'm just having a big WTF moment. LAST NIGHT the manager was going on about not having enough girls working, and I always work the days I'm scheduled AND I always come in at 4 (which is when we open, most girls come in between 6-7)..and I get FIRED because I can't work an extra day on 14 hours notice??? I'm kind of freaking out because this is the only club I've ever worked at for more than a couple of shifts; in fact, I've been there a year and a half now and not only is the money very good but also very steady for me at this club (and the environment safe and comfortable, a rarity in Jersey it seems). At the same time, though, there is NO WAY I'm gonna kiss anyone's ass to get my job back when I didn't do a goddamn thing wrong except buy my mom a trip to the spa What should I do? Any words of advice or wisdom?? I'm feeling pretty irate right now but also shocked and kind of stung. I should also mention that lately, they've been calling girls they've fired before to come back and work...just...wtf???

    Ignore the text message. Go in on your next scheduled shift. Play dumb that you didn't know you were fired or didn't really realise that you were fired.

    At the same, i agree with the others, is there anyone 'above' these managers (especially manager A) that you can speak with about the whole situation?

    Go to your next schedule. I've seen girls who got fired all the time but they go back the next day The boss didn't mind it since he's already in a good mood

    Ahh, strip club manager logic. I never get tired of it. "I don't have enough girls! Argh! I'll fire one and that'll show 'em! ...Wait... now I've got one less girl... Damn."

    Don't worry, you're not fired. I agree you should show up for your next shift like nothing ever happened. I'll be really surprised if they tell you to leave, if they're THAT hard up for dancers.

    That is absurd and horrible! What a complete pair of PRICKS those managers were!

    Perhaps you are better off going to another club(unless you made a ton at that one, or unless it was the only decent club in your area). I wouldn't be able to tolerate two-faced dickhead managers like that.

    A similarly bad experience happened with a girl I used to work with at this one declining Philly club. The club was getting progressively shittier business, so all the hot girls were leaving left and right for better clubs. As a result, it was like pulling teeth to find girls to work the dayshift, and the dayshift usually resulted in less than the prettiest girls lol(I'm trying to be nice here). Because I was the type(like you) that would often come in on my "off" days to pick up extra shifts, or would stay late to make money, they took advantage of that and kept scehduling me the shitty dayshifts. Also, because they knew that I was too nice/spineless to object to it.

    Okay, so back to the girl that I worked with...so one day, she called the scheduling manager to notify them that she was running late. Most girls showed up late all the time or simply blew off the shitty day shifts and only came in when they were scheduled the "good" night shifts. This girl actually had the decency to call about a lateness. The scheduling manager told her that she was suspended for 30days!!! And then the managers made sure they fired her before her suspension was up. The real reason they suspended and fired her wasn't because of the lateness...it was because she was on the heavy side. I know this doesn't sound the nicest, but I'm just being honest...if you are expected to be their "on-call girl" and you are let go that quickly, it might be because management either doesn't like you as a person or maybe they are trying to "clean house" and keep only their best-looking dancers. I do not know what you look like, so I could be totally off-base here. I'm just going by that one dancer's experience as a possible reason.

    Either way, screw them! I hope you find a new and much better club. Even if you go to a different club, I'd still call the head management of your old club and complain, just for the principle of standing up for yourself and to possibly get Manager A in trouble!

    hahah seriously... that happened to me once, the manager wanted me to come in an extra day and i said no so he hung up on me, and then called me back to say i didnt need to come in the next day, either. and i knew he needed girls. oh well, that's his prob, not mine!

    Thanks everyone for the responses...I think I am just going to show up on Saturday and play dumb, hell it's obvious that he already thinks ALL of us dancers are dumb anyway so fuck it.

    No, there's nobody else I can talk to-it's a weird situation, the owner of the club is gay and SUPPOSEDLY (this is all hearsay) manager B got his job and keeps it because he is/was having "relations" with the owner. I don't know, but this is Jersey, there's always drama surrounding the club owners and managers. And yeah, there are TONS of other clubs around, but this is the time of year that girls start traveling from all over the country just to work in this area so I almost feel it would be moot to try to find another club. Maybe I just have no confidence.

    Anyway, I'll let you guys know what happens tomorrow night. In the meantime, I might go check out some places tonight. This site is the best, I feel soooo much better knowing that I can find support here

    Well, to be honest, both managers have told me quite a few times that I am one of the top names at the club-I have a lot of regulars and well, I think I could actually stand to gain a few pounds so my looks/weight is definitely not an issue. But being too spineless?? Oh yeah..that's something I've dealt with all my life and I know that other people-especially people who consider themselves more powerful-can sense it in me and maybe that's why I feel I always get pushed around

    I don't think you're fired either. You did say you very much suspect that they're coke heads so for all you know when they called/texted you they could've been really really geeked up and don't even remember firing you! If I were you I would just show up and act like nothing, like you didn't get the message or you "lost your phone" or whatever and just play cool like you're back to work on your schedule. But do not and I mean do not pay a housefee upfront until you know you're allowed to work, I've heard too many bad stories on here about how a girl will show up to work, pay her housefee upfront and then they fire her.

    I agree with the others. I'd go back in to work like nothing happened, and look at them like they're crazy if they say anything about being fired. Weird look..."Fired? But you were just talking about not having enough girls, and I'm the only one who shows up for all my scheduled shifts AND shows up on time." shrug. "I guess you have too many girls now?"

    I wouldn't pay any housefee until the end of the night though

    If they do tell you to leave, just calmly pack up your stuff and go right to another club. You have enough experience now, you can make money elsewhere and you don't need to put up with such stupid bullshit.

    From your story, it seems that he doesn't know how to handle his job. It seems that he is using firings as a way to manage, to "shock" people straight. Very, very poor management tactic. Don't reward him by making it easy for him to get you back in the club.

    What to do? Sounds like being fired may be the best thing that could happen for you.

    Yeah tell me about it...I look back at a good portion of my life and feel cheated and angry about how people tried to push me around, simply because I was "too nice"/spineless. It got to the point that I started acting like a bit of a jerk. People didn't like that either, but it got them to start actually paying attention to me and I started achieving better results. I suppose I still need to find that happy medium. But anyways, I just wanted to say that I can relate. By the way, good luck and it probably is best that you continue to show up for work there. If that doesn't work, then I'm sure you will have no problem at all getting hired and making money at one of the other NJ shore clubs.

    Managers will fire entertainers for "no shows" even when the club is short on girls, because nothing else will effect them.

    Your case is different... But manager A only see's what he wants.

    I totally agree... go back in on your scheduled shift and act like nothing happened. I've gotten fired and done it before, knock on wood, it worked.

    I know its to late for this...
    But I think they were probably just trying to scare you. If your that realible, show up for you shifts, and are on time, they probably thought they could scare you into working by firing you. OR they just got pissed cause you are so realible, and couldn't work, and thye kind of counted on you as the only one they could call in on short notice. Either way, its prb not a real firing, liek everyone else said. So Im curious to knwo what happened?

    I guess this is a pretty common situation. My old club told me they didn't have enough girls on dayshift and asked me to work more days. I told them I couldn't because of my other job. So they fired me. The logic escapes me, but it ended up being a good thing for me, because it finally motivated me to move to a better club.

    Like everybody else, I say they're just manipulating you. They want you to beg for your job back, and then when they want you to do something in the future they'll threaten you with another firing. Blah. Ignore it.
