I broke my hand on purpose to avoid going to work but still get paid.
I worked as an agent in a call center. I hated that job. It was overwhelming, everyone would just call and complain. It was a Sunday night. And after a soothing weekend. I did not want to go to back go work. In Dubai, the only way to avoid going to work and still get paid is to provide a sick-leave attested from the hospital. I already had a tough week and I was going through a lot. I was mentally Exhausted! As time was passing rapidly, I desperately wanted to skip work on Monday. I was so desperate that I was was trying to get myself sick However, getting sick only lands you a 1 approved day sick leave.
Then that’s when I got the IDEA to break my hand. I got PIFPAF ( A spray to kill bugs) and a perfume. I sprayed the PIFPAF on my hand so I couldn’t feel anything and took the perfume bottle and jacked my hand with it for 5 times constantly. At first, I did not feel a thing, because the bug spray caused my hand to be numb, then I tried moving my hand but I couldn’t move my hand and it started to pain and my hand started to swell. Like really really bad. I drove to ER and was xrayed. Nothing was broken, just dislocated. I ended up getting a 15 days paid sick leave. I missed 2 weeks of work !
Was it worth it ? Yes. Would I do it again. Definitely. Recommend. No. Stay safe kids!
