Damn Chapo, i gues those cartel arent paying like they used to eh? did you get hurt lifting those massive bricks of cocaine? at least they got workmans comp...
yes, yes and yes.
your employment is "at-will" from the moment you started most likely...they can decide they just dont need you anymore since youre costing them more than they are probably making off your lazy ass.
10 grand aint shit in hospital bills, thats like 2 advils, an icepack and some filipina lady taking your blood pressure.
they can cut your hours down...why not, you have already proven you cant work without gettng hurt and they will treat you like a girl from now on. they cant fire you for getting hurt, but they can all of a sudden decide you havent been performing like you should and take action. Or they could just decide your position in no longer needed.
Layoff are pretty common for injured workers, most people end up homeless and smoking black tar heroin out of coke cans within a few months. Its pretty common for injured workers to get fired though, seriously...who wants to have a crippled lil girl work for them?
real men dont get "injuries"
if you spell injuries backwards what does it spell?
"Girls shit"
Id be more worried about them sending someone to finish you off, if some muthafucka just cost me 10 grand cause he fucked up HIS back, there might possibly be a gas leak at his house and he might accidently light a cigarette and he might accidently blow himself and all the evidence to smithereens.
look outside....is there a white or black van with no windows on your block ?
RUN!!!!!
