I'm leaving r/antiwork. I joined this subreddit just before it really started blowing up. Now, this place has become infested with liberals who think the idea of abolishing work is “out-of-touch” and “too much to ask for” “We'll just unionize, and like, increase the minimum wage or something. I mean yeah the disabled and the neurodivergent we'll still leave rotting in the streets, but they're 'leeches' anyway. But at least stuff will be alright for white people again!” Whatever happened to “We are not free until we are all free”?
I dont understand finding coverage
I've worked a lot of jobs, in a lot of industries, and in none of them have I had to find my own coverage. Either there's a small amount of employees that all work the same schedule, or there's so many employees they'll just fill in the gaps of whoevers gone. I see all these posts on here about “finding coverage” and straight up don't understand how that's supposed to work, like are you supposed to have all your co workers contacts and personally ask them to take your shift? And if you're the one being asked are you expected to come in on your off time? Personally I would feel so guilty asking for someone to cover me, and maybe I've just been lucky with my jobs but my schedule is my schedule, I'm not coming in on my day off on short notice .
Was it a mistake or just malice
Ok wow I think I figured it out. So this is what I was trying to post. I've been out of work for almost 2 months after an injury at work that required surgery. I applied for workers comp and hadn't heard anything until a few days ago. It turns out when my job reported my injury they stated I didn't need any compensation or time off work. This is odd since like I said I've been out of work and had to have surgery.
just got a settlement from Sedgewick
They denied my workers comp claim. After traveling for work for two weeks in a row (unheard of), I was scheduled to work on a day I would usually have off. The blood drive I worked was understaffed, overbooked, and an abnormally high amount of blood donors had reactions (passed out/threw up/incontinence/etc). Doing mobile blood drives is extremely strenuous as there is a lot of heavy/delicate/expensive equipment that we handle and set up. Right after this drive, I begin to lose vision in one of my eyes, and get a headache. Phone triage tells me I'm having a stroke, and to get an ambulance to the hospital ASAP. I get to the hospital and they discover that it is just an ocular migraine, give me an injection, my vision comes back, and they release me. Well, come to find out Sedgewick didn't do anything at all to even begin the…
