[QUOTE="MassWineGuy, post: 3484623, member: 44554"] I’m not too surprised but I am completely disgusted by what happened at work today. Some background: I slipped on ice in December and broke my wrist. Poorly lit parking lot with a drop box, black asphalt. Literally black ice. So my manager says she has something for me to sign concerning my injury. I look and it’s labeled “Judgment.” Basically, I was at fault for slipping because I acted in an unsafe manner. Even if I was walking carefully and couldn’t see any ice, another manager sitting in the office said that I should have known that, it being a freezing winter day, that ice was possible. I told him it was so great that he had an answer for everything. I looked my manager in the face and told her this was b.s. and I wouldn’t sign it. And I won’t. At UPS there were boxes of slip-on cleats to take before heading out. At FedEx we get safety flyers telling us to walk like penguins on ice. The district safety person is pretty useless. I think he’s more focused on the safety of the corporation’s workman’s compensation premiums. I don’t see how managers can look at themselves in the mirror when they’re forced to stuff this crap down our throats. I guess that getting lymphoma was also my fault. Should have known that breathing air and eating food was risky. I found the whole thing totally repulsive. But, again, not too surprising. [/QUOTE]
