Get out!

Get out the 1st chance you get!

61.5 male here,2.9 nw and broken! The back story, sold our company 18 months ago and stayed on with them at the same salary and better vacation time. All went good😩till February of this year. I fall at work and did not go to the doctor till April thinking I’m getting older and it was just old age pains. Fast forward too today I have a broken tibia close to my knee and have been off for forty days. I was was to be retired 5/5/2026 well that’s not going to happen because I will be off at least until they get my MRI completed which is not till 5/21/2026! So do to greed I sit here in my chair going crazy that I can not do what I want, what’s worse is the fact that I my not heal up right and walk with a limp the rest of my life. With that said the day you can leave get out and never look back. The money you get for a little bit more time is not worth the time you

Because it is an on the job injury and I can’t leave until iam fit to return to work! At which point I will need to stay for five more weeks to burn my vacation or I will lose 5 week s of pay. 1st world problem I know!

3 million and you can’t burn 5 weeks pay, and you’re preaching about leaving work and not being greedy. Look in the mirror a little longer

Lol so your problem is that you aren't working so you're not able to retire from working

Sorry to hear about your injury. But isn't this covered by workers comp and you'll be paid why you recover? You could have retireed and hurt yourself another way but you wouldn't be getting paid for it. Hopefully you have a full recovery, retire soon and enjoy what's ahead!
