My boss forced me to work with an injury and I ended up bleeding on the job.

0:04.0

Basically I was working for a casual pizza chain, the one you can't out pizza,

0:08.8

and I had to call out for a shift to go to the hospital as I was a victim of some domestic violence

0:14.0

and injured my arm. The managers were fine with it, although out of the four I spoke to none of

0:19.3

them asked if I was okay, but that's a different matter. I went to the hospital and the doctor looked

0:24.2

at me and put a bandaid over the wounds in my arm. Also not to do any heavy lifting and to use

0:29.7

my arm as little as possible for a couple of days. I questioned whether he could just glue the wound

1:08.4

As soon as I got there, the manager, not the store manager, let's call them Tammy, told me I would

1:13.6

be on dispatch, cutting and boxing all the pizzas and sites. I apologized and explained that I wouldn't

1:18.8

be able to do that as the pans can be quite heavy, and the doctor told me not to use my arm.

1:24.8

I also showed her the bandages I had wrapped around my arm. Tammy asked why I even came to work then,

1:30.0

and I explained that I told the store manager about my circumstances and that they said they would

1:34.4

be happy for me to do light duty. Tammy rolled her eyes and told me to answer the phones and

1:39.0

serve customers instead, which I was happy to do. We got quite busy and Disha started piling up,

1:44.4
