My coworker, after sustaining ducking debilitating LUNG DAMAGE from my boss’s and other coworker’s decisions, has just told me he is thinking of coming in on Monday against his doctor’s recommendation.
I’m trying to tell him that there are other options— unemployment, temporary or permanent disability, suing my boss for worker’s comp— and that the type of work he’s currently doing will only make his condition worse but he’s so focused on this job being the only thing he has.
I’m putting in my two weeks notice today. I’m trying to support my coworker as much as I can but I can’t watch someone die over a job.
