Pole and the Work Place Drama
-
I have to say I really consider myself lucky being able to have a job where they are very accepting of pole and what I do. They have never seen it as a 'stripping' side gig. Heck, my boss is crazy in love with Steven Retchless and encouraged me to take one of his classes in NY!
Most of my coworkers are on my FB and while ive dialed down the pole posts (I had one person block me from their feed b/c I post too many pole things – hey its the only thing ive got going on people!), they are still cool with it. The best is when newly hired people find out who I am. One our new people found my AGT audition and was shocked it was me!

As awful as it is, I'm glad that we're all posting our pole/work woes because it brings us all together in a way where we can be like, "Yeah, that happened to me too, this is what I did to rectify it…it'll be ok". Or whatnot. Being able to give each other that support when it's really needed you know?
I'm so so sorry Raquelle, but everyone is right, that IS a hostile work environment and HR should be aware of it. I'm so sorry, I can't imagine how awful that must be!!!
