I broke my elbow two months ago. OFC I can’t work because I do stock receiving and it’s a goddamn NIGHTMARE trying to get short term disability.
It took HR THREE WEEKS just to give me info on what to do, but of course I still had to call places to figure out WHERE to send the paperwork with my HOH ass. It took my doctor’s office a whole week just to sign off on the paperwork too!
I’m praying that I actually sent the papers to the right place. I get confused easily and in combination with having anxiety I’m freaking out. It’s been 20 business days since I filed it and MetLife STILL hasn’t gotten back to me.
I’ve been BEGGING my managers to let me back to do light duty. But of course the new store manager is afraid I’m gonna get hurt again so they won’t let me back until I can lift at least 20 pounds.
I don’t know what to do from here man. I got bills to pay but fuck me the company is more important right? I’m high-key tempted to quit but it’s the only place I’ve been able to make $16 an hour AND actually be guaranteed a meal. Airports suck man, I feel trapped.
