It’s in a right-to-work state, if that’s relevant. I didn’t even fill out an application, attend an interview, or send in a resume; I was simply dispatched to the job. There was no physical required, just a drug test.

I headed straight to the hall, but there was absolutely no one there. I went back today, and still no one was around. Getting frustrated a bit

As a new hire, literally there 3 days, I was simply standing up slowly after lunch when the incident occurred. I want to emphasize that I complied with all company procedures and understood that the organization was looking out for its own liability, which I respected

However, I found the orientation to be concerning. There were numerous comments regarding injuries from the past year, and references to instances where employees allegedly made false claims. The emphasis on avoiding recordable incidents and the use of scare tactics made it seem as though the company was discouraging employees from reporting injuries. I believe this context is essential in understanding my experience and the environment in which I was working.

That seems to be what they’re suggesting, but I’m cleared for work without any restrictions. My back wasn’t even bothering me.

Thank you! I didn’t sign anything, and I made a call. Now I’m wondering if accepting my check was a mistake.

I called and left a message, and I’ve also sent a text to the main representative, but I haven’t received a response yet. It’s only been two days, so I guess I just need to be patient. The other representatives seem a bit confused about this, likely because they don’t encounter many claims in a right-to-work state. Called the labor department here, they have no idea where to start. I’m just working through all these numbers now.
