So i work at a bar and on Saturday before my shift I had time to make a breakfast with fruit, so obv I was being quick and I was washing off the knife I was going to use, I just used my hand lol but I wasn’t paying attention and ofc sliced my hand on the knifes blade. It was literally bleeding everywhere, and The wound wasn’t nice to look at. I had like 20- 25 min before I was supposed sposed to leave. I had anxiety and I was gushing blood. The manager at this place is to is toxic, he’s very narcissistic,
Apathetic, irresponsible, like this guys an asshole and makes everyone’s job miserable. He’s also been a bully to me since I started. Like I was stressed and trying to get the bleeding to stop, like I couldn’t just put a banaid over it, and it fucking hurt. I had to leave soon, I was the only morning bartender, it was early so I was scared to wake anyone. My moms a nurse and she wasn’t home yet to help. I didn’t want to go to work if the bleeding didn’t stop because idgaf that’s nasty spreading my blood in the bar, and how can I work with one hand? I called the manager like 30 min before we opened because the bleeding didn’t stop and he said I should’ve told him earlier like is he dumb? No are you ok? “Ok I got you covered” I probably had to get stitches, he said I had to send a picture of the wound and a doctors note. He wanted a pic of gaping bleeding hand that kind of was weird to me. I’m sorry I wasn’t going to send him a pic of the wound on my hand that even made me dizzy looking at it. I didn’t think it was his business to ask for a pic my hand looking all nasty. Can he even ask that? We’re not good like that either. So when I got it glued back together the wound and cleaned my blood I sent him that, if he was so curious. He probably would’ve told me to go back to work too, and risking my wound breaking open again. Like no I don’t care, Im not going out of my way and be in pain to just be bullied. Like I didn’t mean to slice my hand open, shit happens. Like idk telling me i had to send him a picture of my bleeding injury plus doctors note,
Like I can’t lie an injury ON MY HAND. I just think that’s disrespectful to demand an employee to send a pic of their injured bloody part, as if they’re comfortable sending a pic of their distorted grotty wound in a workplace setting i just think it’s crossing boundaries and it’s not their place to demand that. And In a bar setting like fuck off
