(He died almost instantly). I called out the next day because I was traumatized. There were 20 paramedics performing emergency CPR, ripping him clothes off, and the family crying.

One co worker told me about a program the company offers and it will pay for 3 therapist sessions..but my Manager never mentioned it. I just wish they would have called or texted me. When this all happened, everyone was in shock but I was one of the only people that actually saw and HEARD the guy hit the ground face first. It was like watching someone jump off a building and hitting the ground. Several employees were crying, leaving work etc.

I am contemplating calling HR and discussing how the matter was handled by my head manager, but now there would be this target on my back if I do.. Idk what to do. Please help.
