I work with glass as a glass glazer (residential windows and commercial windows) so you already know the job is really dangerous with a lot of cut skin every day.
So the Wednesday before thanksgiving, I’m working on an especially tough window and my knife slips which causes my gripping hand to punch part of the broken window. Basically a stab cut on my index finger knuckle. This then took almost three weeks of healing with stitches which really sucked honestly. I couldn’t get the usual tetanus shot since im unfortunately allergic to it, so i was extra careful with this cut and ended up with a little time off for recovery.
Today i call my work back letting them know they finally are removed and i can safely work again. Im simply told that im now layed off because “theres not enough work”. Meanwhile the last time I called to communicate about the status of the cut, im told that the person im calling is currently interviewing someone. So they can hire someone but yet its so slow they had to lay me off during the holiday season? Wow! Thanks a lot!!!
Should I have seen this coming?
