IE has told our company doctor here that stress is NOT to be considered a workers comp injury.

We have a driver here who is taking some "personal time" for the same reason, although his issues are not job related.

Look at all the people on anti depressants and blood pressure meds that we work with each day. | You might want to search "acute occupational anxiety".
Just a thought........ | |

We had a driver go out on stress though this was 10 years ago. I know it was comp because this guy would never go out on disability.
Interesting that IE (and how and why IE) would determine that stress is not a work comp related claim. Let's see how long that one flies. | |

The ironic part of the situation...is that this guy was transferred back into Operations after spending over 15 years...in IE.
The center he is now in charge of is a complete train wreck, with huge production issues. The impossible expectations that are stressing this guy out...may very well be the same impossible expectations he was a part of creating during his time in IE. Now that the shoe is on the other foot and he is having to try and make the numbers work in the real world ...the stress is literally killing him.
I hope he gets better and finds a way to manage his career without destroying his health.
I hope the powers that be choose to view this as a "teachable moment." I hope they choose to stand behind and support this man instead of throwing him under the bus and replacing him with a younger, cheaper person who will inevitably fall victim to the same issues if nothing changes.
There is a lesson to be learned here. Will we learn it? | My condolences. It's getting awfully crowded under that bus. | |

Stress can be a real thing. In 1987, I had to lock the door of the CM's office and talk him down from a "breakdown".
Nothing has changed at UPS ,except the technology.
Sadly, the new improved technology is being wasted.
GIGO, is now the SOP.
Just call me, Alfred.
 What, me worry?

He may have gone on a secret mission hence the silence on BC.
