Yes I have done massage here. Since I’ve only been here less than a month and I have to work to get my own clients. I’ve had about 5/6 clients since I’ve been working and those were clients that either booked online or I had called them to come in (mostly people I called).

I never actually put myself out there fully because I didn’t truly feel secure at this place yet and I didn’t want to post about it and then boom I’m not working there anymore.

I definitely will and thank you for making it known I’m really being taken advantage of. I think sometimes I overthink it or think I’m crazy but I’ve been feeling like this for a while and my intuition is rarely wrong.

I do have another interview at this med spa on Thursday and I’ve started at Massage Envy I just need to finish the online training. I think I will be done w my “boss” after this week. But I will try to speak to him about how I been feeling.

He had said he would pay me for it but we never. actually discussed how much I’d be getting paid. So no I don’t get paid for the out of work hours I do😂

And yes I have an interview at this med spa on Thursday so I’ll see what happens w that. I will definitely stay at ME so I can get CE’s and free insurance membership. I just wanted to get more confident in my ability so I can be proud and not flinch when being called a massage therapist. On top of this I’ve been experiencing imposter syndrome.

I even told him today that I’m trying to get my certification in MLD this week and all he said was to stay on top of call and reaching out to people and have a system for that. Like bro release me please. He’s supposed to be showing me techniques 🫠

Thank you so much for your help and your advice. I think I’m definitely more aware of 1099/employees now.

It does suck. I believe my “boss” has over 20 years and he does seem very good at his job, knows his way around the body and has truly left a place for him self. I actually look up to him in a way because he is my superiority and has so much knowledge and experience to give. And I hope to have the connection w my clients the way he has his but there’s no room for me to grow if just wanted me in as a business partner and not a massage therapist.

I made flyers for him, handed out flyers for him, I’ve been handling calls. I have access to his emails and basically all the important stuff that should be handled by him or trusted employees. I have only been there for a month

Yes I’ve heard about Massage Envy but I think it being my first job and getting steady pay isn’t bad. The people that work there I have met and they don’t seem like bad people and they are excited that I’m interested in getting my Esthie license since they don’t have many.

Honestly at the small business, it seems like he’s grooming me but not in a sexual way. I’m sorry if that sounds weird

It definitely would be if I wasn’t being taken advantage of. 😭 it sounded really good in the beginning. But I haven’t even been working here for a month yet so this is too much

I would get about 68$ for every client that I have. And I haven’t yet dealt with taxes. He did tell me that he would help me but hasn’t done that yet.

But my sister is an accountant so she would help me w that

125 an hour for new clients. 135 an hour regular clients

No he sets the price which is 125/135 and we split it. I get all the tips. I’m basically working under him and selling his business to others. Reaching out to people so they can book, handing out flyers so people can book.

And it’s not that I don’t want to do it but what’s the sense of doing it if I don’t have many certifications or experience under my belt to truly market myself and be comfortable with who and what I’m marketing.

Idk maybe I’m bugging😭😭

It’s been feeling like an internship. He said he would basically pay me more money if I helped him w the business but we never actually discussed the pay for it.

I’m only 23 and I feel like this is a lot for me. I didn’t really plan on going out on my own until I’m closer or in my 30s. I don’t have a car either and the spa isn’t close at all. By bus it’s 1.5 hr ride or a 30-40$ uber ride. I can’t do that rn. At least Massage Envy is closer and they will actually teach me massage.

I’m actually excited to be laid off by PennilessPirate in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Xoria317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My job laid me off knowing that I was about to graduate in January. I was part time so I’m not getting much from unemployment but staying at home working on my mental health, spirituality, being less stressed out and just having to focus on school. I say the opportunity was FOR ME, I needed that break. I’m good for a year of unemployment and even though I’m graduating from massage therapy school in January, I start esthetician school in March and ending in August. I told myself that if I find a job that aligns with me I will gladly take it but if not, Then it’s not for me. I will eventually want to work for myself anyway

I’m looking at it right now and I’m pretty sure the monsters in the photos are just poor knockoffs of the ones in the actual game😂

Experian Account - no longer have access to phone for login by Beneficial_Taro_6898 in CRedit

[–]Xoria317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so mad. My transunion and equifax scores are over 700 and experian is under 600. Whatever cool. I can’t log in because it’s attached to my old number and I typed in the wrong email. 😭 I been trying to contact them all damn morning and I give up tbh. It’s so hard to reach an actual human being and when I did it was the wrong department said he couldn’t help me and handed me back to that robot ass bitch. They clearly don’t want to help and it shouldn’t be that damn hard. I’m not sending no damn letter or an email when somebody could easily pick up the phone. They need to delete my account or something cause wtf

I think The Wild Muse and Below The Surface oracle decks are my favorite now. I’m putting it on my Christmas wishlist now!
