Injured at work

As the title says I was injured at work last week. I’m a painter (I work for a decent sized company) last Wednesday I got to the shop and started loading paint onto my truck. As I was doing so I heard something tear at first I thought it was my shirt or pants but when I went to pick up the next bucket of paint I felt an immense pain coming from my left shoulder. I figured it’d go away as we always get injured but I tend to just “work it off” but this time the pain remained. I spoke to my supervisor and they sent me to a clinic (the doctors are ass) They put me on restricted work (can’t lift or push/pull more than 5lbs, as well as not being able to raise my hands above my head) so technically everything I do for work.

It’s so very poignant to see people telling Bernie to “pay taxes or shut up”

EDIT: Some grammatical mistakes. ​ Obviously, I want to him to pay tax. Obviously, I am aware that he's a millionaire. Obviously, I am aware that he is on his soapbox (though I'd argue it's his job). Obviously, I also know that he has one hell of a cushy job; a lot of high-profile politicians do. ​ But the comment above was made by someone in response to calling out multibillion dollar companies for paying little to nothing in net taxes. Talk about friendly fire: A low tier multimillionaire vs the goings-on of corporations that rake in billions every year. This isn't even a hypothetical of ad absurdum; this is actually absurd. You can't equate the two. I know that the words “million” and “billion” all kind blend together in a foggy haze when working class people struggle to keep salaries in the low 5-figures, but we can't forget that…

corporate stupidity

i work for a regional gas station 'known' for there pizza. i have worked there for about 10 months about as many people have walked off mid-shift from there kitchen. and there's nothing that that location can do to help it. this corporation has an app that allows people to order “online” and this corporation has never figured out how long it takes to make its menu items. they allow-encourage people to order 10 pizzas and expect them in 20 min. the pizza maker can set the promise time higher but only after the fact. and if your busy for too long it will set you promise time lower automatically. it would cost them nothing to put and equation in there app to 'guess' the time it would take.

Almost no experience required, well some customer service but pay range is 100k-500k year. Solar Sales! Fastest way get out of work is make sure others never are able to, aka sell them a loan that you can lose on.
