Have you gotten any responses from this board or anywhere
else? I am in a similar situation with Walmart. The injury is
the same. They make my apointments when I am supposed to be
working and won't pay for my time off. My hours have been
changed as well as my job title. The doctor they are sending
me too I don't trust because I know of others who have this
problem who are receivng different treatment at private
doctors. I am worried about potential earning ability as well
as my current earning abilty and the pain I live with 24/7.
When my csm's see my in obvious pain just from being there I
get eyerolls. No one understands or cares how much pain I am
in. I have had to refuse to do positions they try and put me
in against doctors orders. I used to think that the public
would not shop walmart if they knew all that goes on. But the
daily abuse from customers tell me they don't care about us
either. They just want their stuff cheap and out of there
fast.
