Last story: imagine what could've happened with that poor woman, if OP had quit or been fired because of Anna's bullying...

[alantran]

Story 1: Any boss who doesn't bother checking the employee files for any medical problems are just asking for a lawsuit that the company can't win.

[tmntfangirl]

Story 2 - I don’t know nor understand how people like Karen get manager/boss positions either.

I would’ve loved to have seen Karen’s face when she realized that OP was right about child labor laws and had to do some actual work.

For Story 4, it reminds me of this saying I learned back in Job Corps from the Automotive Trade: "I have no idea how to do your job, but my book says you're doing it wrong." I live by those words.

Story 3 - I worked for a hospital in admin...one of the senior students decided to order me to take care of a patient as I was "his junior." I have 0 clinical training...but he decided it was the hill he was going to die on. I was not moving an inch no matter the threats.

Finally the chief attending I actually worked under pulled him aside and told him that what he asked me to do, with the threat of firing, was a fireable offense as workplace bullying and possibly criminal for him if I touched the patient at all. She also told him how this would be a strike against his place in the program.

story 5: it pisses me off so bad when someone yells at someone IN FRONT of someone that THEY KNOW has been in abusive relationships. if that's your whole job you should FUCKING know better. source: my mom went through several abusive relationships when i was growing up and now i have anxiety about people yelling in front of or at me.

[trustjah]

The daughter should also be arrested unless she was under threat.

[barredok]

Anna would have caught hands if she yelled at me that way

[isaacbobjork]

Always the notion about being young meaning you can't have health problems

[Some_Guy_]

Karen in story 1.... I would press charges for = ADA laws, harrasment, and all costs if it gets worse, etc....

[MistImp]

The chat support story rings as made up. If they only had one client, why would they need a “regional” manager? That implies clients in multiple regions.

[purelylindsay]

"How do these people become managers?" A good amount of the time its because of nepotism/friendship

[darby]

Story 5: That kind of overly aggressive behaviour shows up in Social Services from time to time. Peoples brains break a little under the secondary trauma and constant adversarial environment.

Any action that they see as hurting the clients becomes an attack in their mind. Which is why she got the real apology in the end after proving incontrovertibly that they had the same goals.

[alanphipps]

The 1st story really pees me off ad a young disabiled person with a lot of chronic pain

[Frazzled_Chameleon]

Story 5: there was a similar case in which a DV victim was doing a Zoom hearing (Covid era) involving her partner and her lawyer picked up on something not being right. It came out that the partner had forced his way into the woman's home and was doing HIS Zoom call from the house while threatening her if she didn't play nice and ask for the charges to be dropped. The police were sent to the home and the woman was SO relieved. You need the people who do these jobs to be hypervigilant and pick up on subtle cues.

Story one reminded me of my time working at a water bed factory. I was in the woodcutting department operating the bandsaw. I actually had that job down pat and could cut two pieces at once if I raised the guard. It was necessary because of how fast they needed the pieces. After a particularly busy morning I needed to use the restroom. I made sure I had caught up on all the parts I needed and went to do my business. 4 minutes later, I walked out of the bathroom and the floor supervisor for that department jumped all over me telling me that I couldn't use the bathroom on company time. I told him that I could and would use the bathroom whenever nature calls and there was nothing he could do to stop it. This is true and part of labor law. He told me that if I wouldn't agree to not use the bathroom on company time then I could clock out go home. I clocked out and went home. I should tell you that I was one of three that was trained on the band saw and the only one that could cut at the speed I was used to. I ignored the increasing phone calls for the rest of the afternoon. The shop supervisor and the plant manager came to my house after dinner. They asked what happened and when I explained it, they were horrified. They asked if I would come back and I told them on two conditions. The floor supervisor was to have nothing to do with me from that moment on & I was to receive a dollar an hour raise. Three weeks later, Jose was demoted to the paint/stain line (after making some "comments" to female employees) and, after training my replacement, I was made floor supervisor with a $10/hr raise. It turns out that the best revenge is doing well.

[tmntfangirl]

Story 3 - What the Hell was that VP thinking?! (Oh wait he wasn’t because he’s an idiot) He should’ve been demoted if not fired for his stupidity.

[gerstelb]

Story 5: IMHO, attorneys are at high risk of becoming a-holes, no matter how good the work they do. To be generous, maybe they’re trying to be a “fierce advocate” for someone who needs it, and the adversarial nature of our court system tends to make them snap at anything or anyone that seems to jeopardize the case or the client.

[johnopalko]

Story 1: I don't understand how anyone can possibly believe that someone can be "too young" for back problems. I've had back problems since I was 14, as the result of a water skiing accident. There's no minimum age for medical issues.

[LoveOnTheInsidex]

Story 1: those who are calling OP the AH for doing that don’t understand back pain.
