#that’s how it’s supposed to be

[wonderlandmind4]

I’m a massage therapist, with really bad knee pain and issues. When I fell nearly 6 months ago on that same bad knee, I thought my job/career would be over because of how bad it was and how much pain I was in. I was out of work for 3 months.

When I was trying to go back too early, my former director of the spa I was mainly working at…..DID NOT want to accommodate my work restrictions and even with the doctors note, basically said it would be better for me not to work at all. And when I say accommodations, I was asking for no 100min services and no 4 in a row services. That’s it. Two things. Rather than say yes to that with a spa that was slow af (still is) she said it was best if I still was out for two weeks. And whatever, I agreed because I was trying to push myself to work again too early (I needed money and still do).

This is the same person who asked me to put away lien after I did 5 services in a row and said I shouldn’t be sitting if we get paid hourly now. I said “……my knee is really hurting so I’m sitting for two seconds because I just came out of a back to back services.“ she then apologized later but that’s not the point. She also said, when I told her that I sit while doing prenatals or the feet/back sometimes she goes, in a nasty tone “we’ll have to talk about that” like no. No guest or client has EVER complained or said anything about me doing it or knows I’m doing it because the massage flow doesn’t change.

Fast forward; the director is no longer there. I’m still at that spa, but now work at a second spa. So I have a new manager, (she asked if I could come in for a few hours on my day off tomorrow from 10-3, and I said yes cuz I need money!) who saw me bend over today and sigh and she asked how I was doing, I was honest and said I’ve been in pain most of the day probably from the weather and I’m still recovering from a knee injury. DO YOU KNOW WHAT SHE TEXTED ME LATER!?

She said “I know you’re in pain, so just come in from 11-3” I said sure! Then after I was home, she texts me AND TELLS ME TO REST UP AND COME IN AT 12 INSTEAD! 😭

It’s just…it’s so nice to have a manager who sees/saw my pain, was able to rearrange the schedule and tell me to rest up and to cover only 3 hours. Like, out of the 5 years I worked at the other spa, NEVER did the director do anything like that for me, despite my asking or requesting.

I’ve been very busy at the new spa, but came off of a slow schedule, a holiday vacation and a sickness, so basically lots of downtime for me and resting and doing nothing. My body was mad at suddenly being super active again. And this manager tells me to feel better and rest up. Bless her.

It confuses me how normalized it is to be so anti human. The fact that two countries voted no to food being a human right. The fact so many people are against universal healthcare. The fact that it’s normal to believe some people don’t deserve housing because they’re poor, addicts, mentally ill, or any combination of the above. I find it so hard to comprehend that humans who have experienced hunger, thirst, cold, and illness would wish these things upon others, or at the very least not care. It frustrates me beyond belief.

These are the exact values we’re taught as children, to believe all humans are equal in worth and needs, and yet at some point you’re expected to grow out of that illusion. You’re expected to accept that this is what life’s like, that the world is unfair, and attempting to fix it makes you weak and childish.
