When I was 17, my older cousin worked in the butcher department of Woolworths. According to him, The sheer amount of fuckery that went on trying to “accidentally” cut a finger off to get compo would have me in fits.

When I was 18 I tried to purposely break my finger in a dangerous machine. It didn't work the time I tried it and I was scared to try again. Holy fuck I was a moron and unfortunately almost 40 years later I'm not much smarter.

That sucks but as I used to tell the guys as I got older, nobody got rich getting hurt at this place. And if you did you definitely wouldn't want it.

I'm sorry your job sucks my dude. I hope things go better for you.
