Pretty short story, just pretty wtf. I work at a diesel mechanic shop that provides roadside service to semi truck drivers(as well as in shop services ofc). On Thursday my coworker went out to replace a trailer tire about an hour away in another city, and while he was jacking the trailer up, the trailer slipped off the jack and tore the tip of his finger off and crushed the bone up to the middle knuckled. He was rushed to the local emergency room and they had to remove the finger up to the middle knuckle(2/3 of his finger) due to the damage done to the bone and nerves. He spent the weekend in pain and on some pretty serious pain medications ie percocet. I came in to work today and was extremely shocked when I saw him here, in uniform. He informed me that our boss told him he was required to be here today because “the loss of a finger warrants only 3 days out of work” (paraphrasing). What type of person would require their employee to come into work, especially a place such as our shop, 3 days after the loss of an appendage? Whilst still on painkillers? My coworker is a trooper, solid guy, but I’m genuinely shocked he didn’t quit the second he was told he’d need to come in today, I would’ve. That’s pretty much it, just wtf
