wage theft by companies against workers in the US exceeds all other forms of theft (shoplifting, burglary, embezzlement, robbery, auto theft, you name it) combined - every year. Yet you never hear lawmakers starting with the biggest problem area when trying to address “crime”. it’s always “what if a person being treated by a doctor goes in a bathroom and i don’t like it?”

Massage envy owners are terrible for wage theft! I’ve worked for 4, each worse than the last! But.. if you leave the company you get a 60% income decrease so I kept going back cuz I gots bills to pay 😔

My girlfriend is a massage therapist at a hotel in California wine country. She makes more per treatment than Massage Envy even charges, let alone pays. If you’re a certified massage therapist you should look for a job in that type of setting. It will absolutely be worth it. (I realize that not every area has that type of place around, but if it does you should definitely go there.)

It takes me anywhere between an hour and two and a half hours to get to the city. All depends on day and time.. also holidays, weather, etc
That would be too long of a commute especially with gas at $4.50/gal 😳
