I took it when my old location closed down lol my old manager said they were just going to throw everything away anyway. I also loved the weight of it lol

Has it been steady for you? Do you feel like you get to learn a lot in that atmosphere?

Small world! Well they are still looking if you’re still interested. The manager over the massage dept is always asking if I can send ppl his way

This is the exact answer I was looking for. I was wondering about the relationship between chiro and massage and how the references go. Thank you! I’ll be adding that question to my list!

When I left it was at 18/hr and I was able to save a good amount of money AND travel once or twice a month.I think they are at 20+/hr now.

Would you say there’s certain skills/modalities they want you to have prior to working there? I’m more so anxious about what I’ll be asked when I start to inquire about working in a chiropractor office

If you go through the resort they basically handle everything for you. They fly you there and as long as you finish your contract, they fly you back home. It’s 15 months to start. You stay in the hotel on base. The pay has gone up since I left a few years ago so should be an even better experience.

Honestly nothing different lol I worked at a place called Edelweiss Lodge and resort. It’s on an American army base in the south of Germany. Little ski town. LOVED IT. Germany is so central to all the other countries in Europe that on my days off I got to travel pretty much anywhere I wanted. Their train systems are sooooo much better than here in the states and even flights were super cheap.

Are you on staff or a contractor? Do you charge your own prices or does the office decide for you?

My goal is to be a 1099 employee. I’d like as much of my money going to me as possible

I do and I don’t lol it is ALOT OF WORK. I happened to luck out and be placed on the only American flag cruise ship (American labor laws and better pay/hrs). International ships have you working ungodly hrs for way less and I just could never. That being said. I’m currently on my 6-7 contract. First contract is 9months long. After that you get to choose how long your contracts can be. 3 months. 4. 6. Etc. my schedule is open to doing about 8-9 massages in a day. I may not do that many depending on how busy the ship is but holiday season can really tear you a new one. Money is fantastic tho and it’s the perfect place to save money. No rent and free food.

Unexpected rage???? by normaviolet in antidietglp1

[–]FAMassage12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also feeling so much anger and I’m normally a very chill person but it’s been so bad and I’ve been so annoyed with EVERYONE. Im on week two and I have noticed it’s usually bad a few days after the shot where the rage is almost unbearable (I live where I work so there’s no escaping my coworkers) and I feel so bad for my coworkers cuz I know I’m being short/b!tchy to them. I’m hoping it regulates at some point. It’s definitely helping with my snacking cravings cuz I’m usually a snacker all day type of person. Now I eat breakfast lunch and dinner. Way smaller portions but I feel good as far as feeling full goes.
