My boss sees me get into a car accident, then won't let me return to work without a doctor's

note. Here's a flipside malicious compliance, carried out by my manager against myself.

Many years ago, I worked at a care home for individuals who needed help learning how to transition

into living independently. I loved my job. I loved the people I cared for. It was tough,

though, as we were always short-handed. Daph had a high turnover rate because the pay wasn't great.

We were constantly working double shifts and getting called into work on our nights off.

I was genuinely open to it as I had no kids at the time and half of my shift was literally

hanging out with some of the coolest clients I've ever met. Cooking dinners with them,

watching movies, and after they went to bed, everything was just cleanup. I was allowed to do

homework or art or really anything I wanted to within reason. The clients here really liked me

and would look forward to when I was coming on shift. They would often come out to the driveway

area to greet me when I got in. One day, the manager and several clients were in the driveway waiting

for me to arrive. Just as my husband was about to pull into the driveway, residential road,

speed limit was about 25 miles an hour, we were hit from behind. The driver was going nearly 70

miles per hour and reached down to get his cell phone and hit us when we were pulling into the driveway.

The way he hit us and how fast he was going, our car did a full 360 spin into the driveway

and everything in our trunk went flying all over the place. The manager and the client saw

everything that happened. We were very lucky that day that they were further back in the driveway

and didn't get hit. The manager called an ambulance for us and I was in complete shock,

felt like the world slowed down to a frame-by-frame slow motion. The ambulance took us both to the hospital,

our car had to be towed away. At the hospital, we were cared for and I was given an order to stay

on bedrest for a few days and see my family physician as soon as possible. Ultimately, I was okay.
