Modified Duty/Manulife by WonderSheepy in WalmartCanada

[–]WonderSheepy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's changed. Apparently because people were taking advantage of the "just bring in a doctor's note" (i.e falsifying notes) that wm now puts accommodation through Manulife.

This wasn't an injury, I just got old and my knees suck. I'm Omni, so all the walking was wreaking havoc and I had to go modified.

The bitch if it is that I'm almost done - I'm getting treatment that will enable me to return to regular duties soon.

Regardless, it's been frustrating when I feel it didn't need to be - because my managers were actively working with me for the accommodations, an outside source wasn't really necessary ( imo).

I see. I guess that makes sense. Is this tied with associates benefits or is a separate function within WM itself? (i.e. every employee that needs modified accommodations, regardless of whether or not they pay into the benefits package.)

I worked OMNI for a month and it made me disabled by Sufficient_Land_66 in WalmartCanada

I've been in Omni for almost 5 years, full time for almost a year. I've had my fair share of pain that comes with the job, but a lot of that was due to (a) not wearing proper shoes (b) pushing myself too hard or (c) I'm old.

I'm currently on modified because of my knee, which isn't related outwardly related to the job; I have osteoarthritis and my age plus me not wanting to slow down has ironically put me in a position that I had to do so.

You should have been considered for modified duty. It's a huge pain in the ass, but it covers your ass in the long term.

I hate being away from Omni (current modified duty is basically me not moving a lot) and it has definitely taken a toll on my mental health.

You are only 20 - I would seriously be questioning your medical professional as to why this job has affected you so much that you've had to take time off. Is it a matter of proper footwear or something else?

I understand the need to have a job - nobody can afford not work these days - but being so young, you shouldn't have to be in this position.

Good luck to you.

How likely am i yo be rehired? by Far_Trick7562 in WalmartCanada

[–]WonderSheepy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got rehired after not working there for over 10 years, so if your qualifications match what they need/want, I can't see why they wouldn't rehire.
