woah get that worker’s comp even though it’s not much

it_AJ [OP] 26 points 2y ago

Do you think it’s too late to file for workers comp? Cause I didn’t before cause of all the paperwork but didn’t know it would leave a scar like that haha

stqmine 42 points 2y ago

I would talk to your sm about it because that’s a gnarly scar that deserves compensation no matter how long it’s been!

it_AJ [OP] 18 points 2y ago

Good idea! Will for sure ask her about it

Balamamama 1 points 2y ago

How long has it been. Probably not too late

ssheinman2013 28 points 2y ago

Workers comp or sue

pinkraisin 14 points 2y ago

Damn! It looks like a jellyfish

rio8envy7 13 points 2y ago

Ouch. Did you fill out an accident report?

it_AJ [OP] 11 points 2y ago

I didn’t cause I’m an idiot lol. I figured it’s too late now

ohhot-pot-ao 8 points 2y ago

You might be able to if you talk to your manager, maybe even the district manager.

👏🏻WORKERS👏🏻COMP👏🏻

Remarkable_Comment18 7 points 2y ago

I’m SHOCKED that none of your managers had you fill out an incident report for that :/

Balamamama 1 points 2y ago

They should have filled one out for you... maybe they did.

it_AJ [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Yeah I’m young and this is my first job so I don’t know how all of that works but I’m thinking I should have done more. But I did just send me manager a text

Remarkable_Comment18 5 points 2y ago

Not blaming you at all!! I’m just shocked that none of your managers said anything to you and made sure you were okay. Just because of the severity of the burn especially, ::

it_AJ [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Yeahhh I think they probably should have done more LOL.. hoping I can deal with it now and it’s not too late

TJW351 6 points 2y ago

Ouuuch right on the inner part of your elbow. I bet that was awful to heal. I hope the workers comp works out!!

it_AJ [OP] 6 points 2y ago

it_AJ [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Oh grilled cheeses are deadly bro

HeartsandPins 1 points 2y ago

I wear low ankle socks (never again) and the oil from the grilled cheese slipped off the wax paper onto my freakin ankle. 😭😭😭 why are the grilledcheese so dangerous.

BusyLeek2351 2 points 2y ago

How tf are y’all handling the food out of the oven for it to even come into contact with you like this ?...

it_AJ [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Some very bad luck haha. I was taking the panini out of the oven with the tongs and I guess the speed at which I did it caused cheese to fling off of it and directly onto my opposite arm

crzyshiba 2 points 2y ago

Did the shift call sedwig to make. Claim?

it_AJ [OP] 1 points 2y ago

I just texted my manager asking if there’s anything I could do. It not I’ll call myself

Aliciarox11189 2 points 2y ago

Call Sedgwick

it_AJ [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Will do haha

rbenham2 2 points 2y ago

I got a nasty scar from melted cream cheese from the bantam bagel bites…. I had to get it covered with a tattoo after I left Starbucks. I couldn’t stand seeing it and being reminded of that job.

it_AJ [OP] 2 points 2y ago

That’s what I’m thinking about doing. I don’t want this on my arm forever :/

the-OG-darkshrreder 2 points 2y ago

Man i thought $1 was gnarley. Okay mines about half way through healing. You could pry get some workers comp

it_AJ [OP] 1 points 2y ago

Ouch that does look like it hurts. Burns are the absolute worst to heal
