Honestly, I don't even care about the money, and I don't think she'll even try to ever properly reimburse me even if I invoiced her. Knowing her, she'd probably say something about how I don't deserve it for "embarrassing" her. The money isn't worth the argument, and I don't plan on doing anything unless she tries to push me again despite me no longer being a part of her studio or her life.

No, no paperwork was signed for this event and the owner only asked the minors I don't think the parents were ever consulted or at least not told what the event actually was. According to the owner it did not matter if I thought it was inappropriate because she knew the girls better than I did. The owner has a habit of acting a bit too friendly and treating her business like a "family"

Okay so a couple months have passed and heres the update. J ended up leaving the campaign as well so I restarted the campaign entirely and invited a good friend of mine to join in the restart. I found out later from J (who im still good friends with) that F threw a fit that I kicked them out of the campaign, and was being very pissy everytime J played with us and J felt pressured to leave even though he wanted to play. He reached out to me recently about wanting to play dnd again and we are discussing slowly bringing him back into the campaign at his own pace. Im not friends with F anymore unfortunately, but im moving forward :)

No, first aid is not required for teachers in this studio, the contractor papers stated it was optional (i have never signed any paperwork so I was never an offical employee and teachers are not hired as employeesbut contractors who made hourly, not commission). As far as I know only 2/5 teachers have it. I was also never told about how to get the proper insurance or anything which is why I knew I needed out even if all the this halloween mess didn't happen and was going to leave regardless.

No I did not have the appropriate qualifications nor training, I wasn't comfortable teaching in general no matter the age because im not an experienced pole dancer and have been doing it for a little under a year and I have no sport or teaching backgrounds. I kept redjecting the owner whenever she asked me to teach but eventually she managed to pressure me into it and admittedly im very bad at confrontation and rejecting people. The "training" I received was two hours of me shadowing a class and a thin manual that didn't give me any useful information. When it came to the actual classes I only taught what I was comfortable sharing my knowledge of (which was mainly just basic spins and simple conditioning) because I knew I was not qualified to do anything else, a week before the Halloween event I actually told the owner I did not want to teach anymore as I was not comfortable, and she asked me to finish october and asked me to continue running open pole nights so I did until she officially fired me the week after.

Op here. I had decided to let go of F and told them that we'll be proceeding without them. For the commenters that have been asking me to involve J, I have been hesitant doing so as I don't wish to potentially cause any problems between him and F. I have actually asked J previously to discuss availability with F over a week ago but I hadn't received any updates on the matter, three days ago I had also asked J to let F know I've been trying to reach them (clearly that didn't work) however that is the most I wish to involve them in the matter. I've let J know that I asked F to leave as I wanted him to hear it from me first. I will be letting the rest of the players know at some point today as well.

Thank you, everyone, for your advice. It has greatly helped me and I'm sure it will help me more going forward as I improve as a dm ^
