Finally did. Scared about what I will be doing tomorrow night. I don’t want to end up with another hernia. Off 8 weeks recently because of it. I should have demoted myself before I came back. Scared of change I guess. Now my feet hurt. Factory job. 48 Male

    I didn’t but a former supervisor of mine did. He was a good leader and manager.

    My company gives a discount on health insurance if you have a yearly physical and answer a survey. They bring in a company, setup in a large room, you make an appointment, go to the room they do a physical and you get a discount the next year.

    One year my appointment was right after my boss. They drew blood, tested it and the nurse said “that can’t be right”, she did it a second time the called over another nurse. Second nurse said “that’s not possible, you must of done something wrong” and did a third test. After that they call over the doctor who wanted to retest but they said they already tested him 3 times. HR was brought in and he was basically told to go to a doctor the next day and not to return to work till he was seen by a doctor.

    He went to the doctor and when he came back to work asked to be removed from supervisor and put on the line as a regular worker.

    His doctor basically told him the stress from the job was killing him, he could either have the job or keep living. He choose life and asked to be demoted.

      I do have to ask out of curiosity, how does high levels of stress effect a blood sample in such a way that multiple nurses would be freaked out? I can’t imagine being in that position, I’d be pissing myself.
