How about the total scam of legally paying workers 3 bucks an hour because they get tips ,, wtf kind of communist in America is that BS !!! Do that one !!!
boss? HA. thats why you dont tell anyone at your workplace. you dont know whos the corporate lapdog, whos the managers informant or whos the gossiper. after all, work is for a paycheck, not hookups or friend making.
@@agelessrebellion8271also why you should try to record every Convo with your boss, used to work with a guy who did and one of the bosses threatened to fire him (indirectly of course) and that was enough evidence to get a lawsuit started and won
This is so true when I got my finger ripped open my supervisor asked me if I could drive myself to the hospital because an ambulance would be and I quote " a 30 thousand dollar weewoo ride" probably could have saved that part of my finger if I did get an ambulance

This hits home for me after being off work and having surgery for a herniated disk. Found out later that supervisors went out of their way to try and get the claim denied and even after it was approved told my coworkers I was faking it. Some real crabs in a bucket mentality.
You can sue them AND the company on multiple levels. 1. workplace harassment since it's a supervisor. 2. slander (both the company and the person can be sued for this. 100% I would talk to a lawyer on this because it would be an easy pay day.
@@thomasr1051 sort of but crabs in a bucket generally means it’s hard to get out because the others will keep trying to pull you back down. They may not be trying to get out but they don’t want you to either.
Middle management is frequently set up to get bonuses (or: get penalized) based on the number of workman's comp claims filed, so this is the supervisor trying to protect his own pockets. Give the right incentives and middle management will happily put the screws to labor.
In all seriousness, the bossman talking constantly about the employee's hobbies and side-hustles and personal life is a reminder for all sensible employees to *NOT* talk about one's non-work life at work, or at least, give nothing the bossman can use against you. And yes, *EVERYTHING* can be used against you.
😂😂...dude you played the manager character too good. At first I was getting so pissed that I didn't wanna watch the rest of the video. But I snapped out of it. Funny how managers or HR that never had one day of medical school all of a sudden are doctors when it's not the company's doctor that's making a diagnosis. 😂😂
Dude I was the same way. Ole MarPat(that's what i call him we are old friends) Anyways, Marpat(MP that's what i call him) anyways MP is a pretty good actor.
I used to work for a company that had thought they had thought up every way to prevent you from getting injured, and getting injured did literally mean you would be fired. It was sad.
got injured at work once, hit my waist on the end of a wheel barrow handle and it swelled up and turned into a hematoma that got infected. had a week lag time because the injury was so minor that you wouldn't even think anything would come of it but it got worse with time. had to have surgery to drain the infection. my employer was super cool about it and instead of me going through workman's comp, they gave me full pay for each week that i was out and all of my medical bills for the incident. ended up spending 4 days in the hospital because of the injury. We like to joke about wheelbarrow safety. I love my employer.
Now that’s a damn good employer. Most would drag their feet with workers comp. Some might pay for the injury but you’re still out a pay check unless you have vaca time.
I had a boss do that back in the day, I hurt my leg out cutting timber, and he took me to the doctor, and paid my wages for 2 weeks while I was at home, then brought me back on light duty doing mechanical maintenance on equipment until I was good to go
Dude, I was in the carpenters union for almost 15 years. As a foreman for 8 years and from doing layout and shooting Hilti guns into concrete and steel I-beams for years I had carpel tunnel in both hands severely. Night after night I couldn’t sleep and the pain and sleepless nights were taking it’s toll on me. I worked for a great union company and we worked out a deal for them to “lay me off” so I could have my surgeries. Each one took 8 weeks to heal but it was well worth the recovery time. Carpel tunnel is no joke.
You ain't lying, it's a shitty thing to deal with! I broke both my wrists acting like an idiot in my early 20s, and 1 of them still hurts like hell out of nowhere. I imagine that's pretty close to the carpel tunnel pain. Glad your surgery got you fixed up bro!
Electrician here, and my carpel tunnel has been flaring up for the past 10 years because of all the small brushes I've used to push my scraps into dustpans at 1400..
took a fall off 18' high palette racking while i was a home stager and shattered my left heel and damaged the lateral ankle joint pretty bad, so no carpal tunnel but my foot is always swollen and the arthritis just gets worse and worse. I do HVAC install now and that has been effecting my fingers bad.
My wifes done HR for over 5 years and she says one thing she’s learned is it’s pretty hard to get a workers comp or unemployment claim denied. The vast majority are approved
Workers comp is hard. Unemployment not so hard. You just need a good paper trail on an employee on the history of the separation and any sort of detail to work hours that were offered.
We'll they've terminated employment due to a failed drug test and the state office that handles unemployment disputes still awarded the employee unemployment. @@GT-tm2sx
I had a back injury from work called in sick because of my back they claimed I didn't report it and fired me the next day the state screwed me the 1,000 for the shots and prednisone and didn't pay me for my sick leave
Immediately email hr recounting the entire conversation. "Thank you for the conversation about my injury. Here are the topics we touched on. -blaming me for outside hobbies. -threatening to replace me. -blaming my training. -Telling me to go home. I still look forward to reasonable accommodation. As I was told to go home by a manager, I appreciate receiving my full compensation. Thank you for your cooperation with and adherence to state and federal law."
@@LukeMcGuireoides What difference does that make? Union or not, it's protected by law. Most likely a union is WHY it's protected by law. Or are you one of those communist fucks that thinks people should work for free at 80 hours a week?
I got that. I was in a crash while in my work van, a truck slammed into the back of me when I was turning and it blew out 2 discs. I saw a specialist and he said I needed surgery and I got called in by HR and she says well, it looks like it’s an injury I got playing football. I looked at her and said I have literally never played a game of football in my life. She says well I’ll put it through but if it’s pre existing then I’ll be liable to pay it all back. I’m like have you seen the way I’m walking? I can’t even bend over to pick up a pen, how the hell was I able to pick up hundreds of bags of linen every day for 5yrs?
The editing, the comedic pauses, the BELIEVABLE dialogue, Dude, Hollywood could hire a dude like this to write lines and parts for the everyman in movies and they would actually be realistic for once
After a 15 hour shift at work I just got home, took my boots off and seen a new video. Watching It now. You're so hilarious dude. No Idea why you don't have millions of subs. Btw I LOVED the season one and two of Nephew! Are you planning on doing anymore? Oh and damn you brother! I sing curl Is a bitch, curl, curl Is a bitch all night long at work.🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you so much! Yes, I plan on doing much more with nephew! Very soon! Just trying to get some details together for the next episode! Thank you so much for enjoying them ... And as always, CURL IS A B***!!!
Its actually kinda hard to watch because of how painfully truthful it is. Pretty sure all us laborers have been in or know someone thats been in a situation similar to this.
Yuuuup I had been working in a pick n pull that wasn’t very clean and it was middle of summer with high winds on a forklift with no doors and ended up getting what o though was dirt in my eye and after a whole debate with the boss lady and crew manager finally got to an optometrist and they swabbed out a jagged microscopic pice of metal that was scratching my corneas and said that if I left it any longer I couldve potentially had vision loss
@@MarshallPatrickit’s an opportunity to get all your coworkers pissed at you for “claiming” and injury, and to make everyone think twice about claiming it if they get hurt. Psychological warfare.
My issue with that was. John could be drunk all night. Come in hung over or still drunk. Get hurt and be fine with the piss test. I smoke a joint two weeks ago and get hurt and I’m fired.
I blew my knee out while working for a company that I came back to after leaving years before. Them mofos denied workers comp. and then threatened to cancel my insurance because I was out of work not making my weekly premiums. If it wasn’t for AFLAC’s accidental insurance I’d still be broken. They give other employers a bad reference for me now when I try to get jobs. Obviously I threatened to sue him and he kept my insurance good throughout my surgery and rehab which I did myself for free. Fuq’em is what I said but every time I list the work experiences they always dog me out like the POS’s they are!
One thing that's becoming more and more clear with all these comments is the company don't give a shit about the employee, only how much money they can make off of him/her.
@@flameaker66 they cant even give a bad reference if you were a shit employee, all they can legally say is "we would prefer not to speak about his time here" anything more than that opens the company up to defamation charges as they cannot prove that you were a bad employee
Working in an auto parts store, pushing an engine (in a plastic container) onto a pallet, I stepped on a nail. Went straight through my boot, and halfway into my foot. This happened at about 9pm, so we couldn't do too much about a report or workers comp that night, and the GM said we'd take care of it tomorrow when the commercial manager was there. Limped home that night, bandaged my foot up, came in the next day. Commercial manager argued and fought tooth and nail (pun intended!) that it was MY fault I stepped on a broken pallet's nail that I didn't see... Even though we should never have broken pallets period, since HE inspects all of them. GM came in about an hour later and asked why my stuff wasn't started, berated the commercial manager, then did it himself and sent me to the nearby clinic for a tetanus shot. Guy really nailed the "Naaaaah this wasn't the job's fault" bullshit from the manager PERFECTLY lol.
I broke my arm at work and during recovery my aunt (who I work for) called my doctor to try to get me off of worker’s comp by saying I was slowing recovery by using my cell phone. The doctor told them it was illegal to discuss my recovery with her and that they’d be notifying me about their call.
19 years plumbing for a small shop. We do alot of hard labor, concrete breaking, digging, hauling, on my knees, up and down ladders, its all degenerative, and yet, I have AT LEAST 16 years to go. At 43 now, definitely feeling it.
Boss: “Could’ve been a dirt bike injury to me” “And you could’ve been a radiologist to examine it but you’re not” And that would’ve ended the conversation. Bosses and coworkers hate me because I don’t tolerate prying nor slimeball behavior. I have zero children so I’m my only responsibility
Real story time I use to set up tooling in machines for production. One particular tool weighed about 310 pounds per side (Die and Assist, we called them). Moulding tools that clamp together to form plastic parts within. The industry is called Thermoforming. Now we didn't have the correct tooling for lifting these up. Yes we had a crane to bring it physically onto a platform within the machine, but from there it has to be physically picked up and moved, by hand, into position within the press platforms. I went home that night and my back locked up. Bad. I called off work the next day. Following day when asked about it, they tried to fire me for not reporting it. First of all, I didn't know I was injured until my back locked up at home in bed Second, I never went to the doctor? So they made me fill out a form saying I injured my back at home, over threat of termination I quit about a year later. Didn't bother a lawsuit. Wasn't worth my energy. I just wrapped up and walked.
I watch these for the resistance. Lots of people doing depressing skits, too few fighting back. That's so damn CATHARTIC. How to see the system work for you: 1. Do your research: No drug test result matters if the claim isn't explainable via the test, and there's no drug on Earth whose side effects include "Repetitive Motion Based Injury" 2. Figure out their motives. You can't effectively interact with anyone if you have no idea what they value or why they do what they do. If this foreman is the type with a clearly brown nose and abhors bringing the boss bad news, put it like this: "Mr. Harowitz, which do you think is worse news. "We got a comp claim to push through" or "After spending 8 minutes threatening every single action I have the authority to enact as forms of punishment for filing said claim, and making the mistake of doing so while they recorded me, they're contacting an attorney and now we're looking at about 4 months of legal fees and a quintuple amount of time spent building back the professional image this case is going to destroy." *shrug* Which do you prefer?" 3. As JMPPODCAST said: Never tell your boss/ANYONE /anything/ about your personal life. Nothing. You know how cops will tell you what you say can be used against you? Yeah. Like that. 4. You /have/ to talk to fellow employees. And you /start/ with everything management has ever discouraged or ordered you not to. THAT's where your power begins. 5. You MUST treat management of all forms like the police. They are there to "protect and serve." Ever wonder why that's where the saying stops? Because it's almost impossible to fit onto a car "To protect and serve the interests of those above me in power hierarchy at the direct expense to those deemed "below". Not that CO-workers can ever be unquestionably trusted, but it starts understanding unless you have a unicorn of a job, they are there to support themselves by undermining you. Period.
If anyone ever wondered why they should start a union, or join a union. This. This is why you should collectively bargain. It makes managers like this shake in their fucking boots. Divided we beg, United we bargain.
The manager is not the bad guy here, the lazy forklift operator is clearly trying to run a scam. If you identify with him, it really clears up why unions are awful and how unions destroyed this country. They combined greed with laziness, a truly pathetic combination.
@@WalkerKlondykeHow do you know the operator is scamming? That's an assumption, my idea behind the video wasn't workers comp scam, it's shit bag management.
@@MarshallPatrick Cuz I used to work with that guy, he’s a lousy scammer who stole my Banshee! And I paid him $150 to mow my mom’s backyard, he did half of it with drunk lines then quit cuz it looked like it was gonna drizzle and never showed back up! 😉
So glad I wised up and went into a trade with a company that appreciates me. When they decide to flip the script I’ll remember you, and do my own IRL version. 😂 Cheers!
Our maintenance chief was exactly like that. first thing he told our seasonal staff was don't file comp if you get hurt, immediately the supervisor for our parks law enforcement says if anyone gets hurt and has to file the state pays for it, stop telling them that just because you don't like paperwork.😅😅
Supervisors and upper management getting several "stress days" off per quarter from work and regular employees are threatened with firing for calling in sick.
Carpel Tunnel sneaks up on you. They want a specific day it happened but you can't give them that. I worked a job with a cleco torque gun for a few years and started feeling pain and weakness in both my arms. I would wake up at night with both my arms asleep and no amount of rubbing would fix it. I was diagnosed with moderate carpel tunnel and I went to a specialist to have an electrograph performed. That sealed the deal. Then I reported the problem to the job. They didn't like that because the first rule of reporting an injury like carpel tunnel in the management world is .....deny for 2 weeks that they problem is what you say it is. Then they want you to be tested by a doctor and possibly see a specialist. I had already done all that. It took the wind out of their sails and they had no choice but to put me on modified duties (light duties) immediately. The most important thing was that was the last time I ever touched a cleco gun. Carpel tunnel is still a part of my life but staying away from the source of the injury helps me alleviate my symptoms
Oh...boy. Story time. I wound up spraining my wrist at work one day. Told them how I wound up doing. Problem is... They knew that I'm a gamer and that I also write stories. they instantly started bringing up those reasons especially gaming cuz they also knew that I stream gameplay. They literally watch me like a hawk. Waiting to put blame on what I do outside of my free time. It sucked.
As a formerly broken blue collar, now a confident caregiver who is constantly at risk of injury to mental/physical health, watching this made my blood boil. But seeing the clapback from you made me genuinely smile.
In my early 20’s I was working in the automotive industry. I had a spontaneous pneumothorax one weekend and was admitted to the hospital on Sunday. Called my boss Monday morning and told him I’d be out all week and explained what was going on. I told him I didn’t want to use any of my vacation if the company was okay with it I’d be fine with no pay as long as it didn’t affect my attendance. On Thursday HR called me and said I was being written up for attendance and if I was actually in the hospital then I needed to file for short term. Our companies short term was 100% of pay if it’s two weeks or less, so I went back to my doctor got another note for a second week off and filed for the full two weeks. Instead of having me back to work after only one week and not having to pay me, they ended up giving me an extra week to recover and full pay.
I used to work at a place where if you get hurt you could sue the company and get $13,000.00 but you had to sign a paper saying you will never apply to work for that company again.

I think the most disturbing thing about your content is just how amazingly you transform from mgmt to labour. It is a testament to your acting ability -- seriously-- that I so fully accept each character. The facial expressions, body language and gestures, tone of voice, etc., are so intensely evocative and accurate. It suggests how readily an individual can switch 'sides' if promoted/demoted. Both sides have their perspectives and arguments. In general you seem to play out mgmt in a worse position, with just enough specious plausibility to require a measured rebuttal even while giving the clear message that the Mgmt case is garbage. On occasion you have presented labour in the same way-- I think of the guy getting a ride to work asking for cigarettes, money to dix car, etc. I guess that there are ignoble actors on both sides. You are gifted at these sketches. I enjoy/hate them for their painfully poignant entertainment.

I got carpel tunnel so bad from operating an electric pallet jack that my hands swelled up red and i couldn't feel them for almost two months. I was treated much worse than this by the food lion distribution warehouse in Greenville South Carolina off of Mauldin Rd. They out right fired me AFTER I brought in a doctors note for being absent. I was working my ass off there too.
I work for the county and we had an emergency response on the lake. New guy injured his shoulder that required surgery. Bosses gave him worker's comp, he got surgery plus time off, and no further issues came up. The leadership philosophy is to take care of everyone and the agency thrives (and no major WC claims have happened since that day). Always take care of your employees.
You didn’t even mention the investigator who comes by to make sure the claimant is resting up, not riding dirtbikes and mowing lawns on the side. I’d hate for this to spiral into a false claim prosecution 😬😬
@@MarshallPatrick Definitely the case, I know a guy who worked for a private investigator and that was precisely his job, to stake out workers comp and accident injury claimants.
Can you do a video about "Delegation of responsibility"? I'm sure you know what I mean when I say this can be an incredible thing that benefits everyone and the company, and gives people more to put on their resume, or it can be... ya know... what it normally is... People doing other peoples jobs. Without the benefits.
As an underwriter who wrote workers' comp polices for years, I can say you messed up royally when failing to get your doctor's opinion in writing. What he or she "said" is utterly meaningless, you always ALWAYS *ALWAYS* get that in writing before you go. If the doctor tries to minimize the importance, you look him or her dead in the eyes and say, "No, my future literally rides on this. I would surely appreciate it if you would please give me your causal diagnosis in writing. Thank you so much!" Also, if you live in a state that doesn't allow any kind of drug use in the workplace, then you'd be an utter fool to not be totally sober from the time you file the workers' comp claim. You're just asking to be denied by the insurance and to be fired.
My workman's comp specialist tried to say the carpal tunnel in both hands was "psychosomatic" and wasn't real because he read some old, outdated College thesis paper suggesting that idea. My lawyer and orthopedic surgeon with over 50 years of experience got a good laugh out of that.
This almost exact scenario happened to me. Hurt my back at work, proved the activity was unsafe with management and their safety department, and was denied because i couldn't prove it happened there. I had to quit a few days later after trying to work through it.
I'm really happy that my boss was super helpful about it when I had to use workers comp. Also helped that there was no argument that it happened on-site.
Company will show its true colors when you get hurt on the job. I injured my neck at work. Company was a great place to work until that happened then they treated me like shit. Work comp tried to refuse to pay me anything. They even called the Dr to tell him to send me back to hurt. It was a serious neck injury that required surgery putting rods in my neck.
Funny considering my husband is going through it as I type this. He got a case of vertigo(he had never had it before) on his lunch break at work. Another employee saw him shaking his head ( was trying to clear the vertigo) and trying to regain his balance. As he was walking back from truck into the plant another employee stopped him and walked him to the hr office for a drug/breath alcohol test. Which he passed but he had been dehydrated (which he had relayed to the nurse) for the last few days so he couldn’t give enough urine specimen as he had just also used the restroom before leaving to the truck. They walked him out immediately, took his badge and suspended him until further notice. He had an optical appointment scheduled before the incident happened and come to find out his eye sight had degraded ALOT and his dizziness (and headaches)was caused by his WORK SAFTEY glasses not being the right prescription anymore. The whole incident happened in a matter of hours. Unemployment also states that kc listed the reason for termination as a misconduct/performance. He told his story and unemployment ruled in his favor
If you think something like this skit is true for a commercial job, you haven't seen what happens when you get injured in the U.S. military. And how the Veterans Administration treats job-related injuries!
I got an overuse injury and something very similar happened to me. My workers comp was rejected and I had to quit because my injury was getting worse and worse. I’m still dealing with the fallout from that a year and half later.
That’s the sad reality to companies. They don’t want to pay their employees injuries. I had a workers comp claim denied but never followed through with an attorney. I feel like if I would’ve I would’ve won that.
I’m going through this now. Had a tiny piece of metal fly in my eye without knowing. Never filed a report cause idk when it happened but everyone says it obviously happened at work. Now I’m outta work 3 weeks now and counting. Even my doctor say it had to happen at work. They flat out denied me WC so they gave me the option for short term disability. Weeks later and I’m still waiting to be approved . I even need eye surgery. I don’t really fully blame em for the surgery needed cause I have pre existing vision issues however this metal probably made matters worse. FML
I had a rock chip hit me in the eye. Didn’t think shit about it because of the conditions (drilling water well and driving casing) The next day we were finishing the job and my eye hurt, and I couldn’t keep it open. The boss called at the end of the day and I told him. He told me to go into the doctor in the morning. The doctor took one look and immediately sent me to an optometrist. He looks at it and said if I had waiting one more day, I probably would have lost my eye. I was out of work for two weeks. After the first week, my boss was chomping at the bit for me to get back on the job. Workers comp check took two months to show, and it was only $700. However, I didn’t have to pay for any of the doctors visits, so there’s that
Worked for a small company. Got carpel tunnel from too much mousing on the computer. They took care of me. This skit and the comments make me more appreciative of that.
This is so accurate I got the Tip of my Finger chopped off at work and HR was trying everything in their Power to say it didn't happen there despite the Witnesses and the Blood Stains on the Concrete
When lasers first came out in construction we were plumbing walls and I was reading my tape and that evening I got sick nausea hit me hard and I was dizzy . The next day I told the foreman and #1 carpenter to never let the lazer reader do it without proper glasses made for that . They laughed at me . Here's the thing , I was a seasoned hand and was trying to protect the next guy . They didn't care . Had it been them you can bet they would have made changes for the guy reading the lazer .
Absolutely they would! A great thing to ask a shitty manager is "would you let your son do it this way?" Of course, he may be a POS dad too, never know
@@MarshallPatrick I pulled this on a oil refinery lab supervisor and he just got livid with me. KekW thoughtfulness does not occur. Neither does logic. Only power.
Had Work Comp denied to me once. Herniated a disc as the result of my work duties but since I was already disabled going in, Work Comp, Insurance, and the Hospital refused to help with treatment. That and the other problems STILL have seen no treatment. Can't work for anyone who pays worth a damn and I can't get insurance as a result. My boss tried her best to take care of me once I came back after a MONTH but we could only do so much before it became unbearable. Ain't no real benefits anymore, you're just told there are for legal reasons but when it's time to use them there is ALWAYS some excuse. Don't tell your employer you have physical disabilities before you have been working there as long as you can.
I did 5 years in the Military before I was Medically Retired. I blew my shoulder and Wrist out there. I filed “Workers Comp” on a Shoulder Injury which is Service Connected. But because I hurt my Shoulder while working they had to pay me me Work Comp. I let all my Employers Voluntarily know about my Service Connected Injuries which saves my ass

Back in the day I worked as a CAD drafter at an engineering firm. They worked us like dogs, 10-15 hours mandatory unpaid overtime per week. I started getting shooting pains in my hands from all the mouse and keyboard work. Management’s response was basically “none of the other guys are complaining. If you don’t like it, quit.” And, just like this, they tried to blame it on the fact that I rode a motorcycle to work.
I'll be honest, I hate hearing the "You're going to lose that OT" and people complaining about it, when I've never worked with people were the majority were going "I want to work all that OT!" A couple yes, but most want 40 and done. :p "You can't work OT." "Okay!"
That business would get wrecked by any half competent workers comp attorney. Literally that discussion with his boss would be adequate first report of injury. Also, it would be a very stupid move not to give him light duty work.

MGMT: Oh your hurt, just get a Dr’s note. Employee brings in Dr’s note. MGMT: you’re going to need a fitness for duty. Dr says light duty. MGMT: hands employee a copy of job description (as if 20 yrs experience isn’t enough) and says FMLA it is. MGMT: oh you were rehired 9months ago. Then fill out an ADA form. No ADA? In that case you’re fired.
