If
an accident at work does occur, it's embarrassing.
Colleagues can't believe it happened to you and
become more precautious with their role. They feel
sorry for you for now, not being able to competently
complete your role. So they give you a hand. Initially
there's remorse all around... it becomes
an understanding culture.
After
a while it becomes a pain, especially for your colleagues
who keep putting a halt to their job to
help you. Frustration arises and in their heads they'll
be thinking. 'Now he's taking the ****!' But
you're NOT. You are the one that had the accident
at work and your body welcomes injuries in different
ways to others. After a while tension gathers in the
atmosphere and by now you're reported to the
supervisor and disciplinary action is just round the
corner.
You
feel let down. In a workplace environment, business
is business, no matter who you are. You have your own
targets and deadlines to achieve. If they're
not met, you will jeopardise your position. This is
the game for any business. Each worker has a family
to feed, so they need work to fulfil that criteria.
Also
a work related accident can possibly
jeopardise your position. It could prevent you from
carry out
your 'full' responsibility.
Initially everybody understands, but after a while
they'll be thinking 'it was only
a small fall'. But only you know it wasn't
just a small fall. It's not only made an adjustment
to your working life, it also messed up your social
and family life. You can't sleep, shower properly,
play sports or even have sex. But only you
see that side of the picture, your colleagues don't.
They
only see you at work.
Back
to your working life... over time, the supervisor
now reports you to the person above and you're
just waiting for your name to be called to see the
manager. Now it's going to hit you. You're
either, get laid off, get demoted, or transferred to
another department. This is where it hurts the most.
The managers can't do anything but take necessary
actions to ensure your position is 'fully' meeting
its targets.
But
he's your best friend... so, it's
not his company and even if your best friend doesn't
take action against you, someone above his ranking
will take action against him. So either way something
will happen to your role. Remember, if a business does
not fulfil its role to provide product and services
to its' buyers or users, then the definition
of business is not fulfilled.
So
now what... are you thinking of an accident
at work claim? It's been 11 months since your
personal injury and now you're thinking of you an injury
claim!? If you took action at the early stages of your
accident, by now you would have been in a better position.
Nevertheless
it happens all the time. Workers 'think',
been with the company for so long, they won't
do anything outrageous. Well you can't predict
the future and neither can they. But what they can
predict is your work performance, past, present and
future. They forecast the future of their business
and you should forecast your work future.
However
you're scared thinking who'll
be the bread earner if you lose your job. Let's
worry about that in a minute, but first let's
put the cards on the table...
Making
mistakes is common practice as you know, nobody's
prefect. Everybody learns from mistakes and ensure
they don't make the 'same' mistake
again.
Anyway,
you make a mistake at work, you get told off, make
another, you get told off again. Now if you keep
making mistakes over time, what the hell do think is
going to happen. Your supervisor is going to start
looking over your record and start taking disciplinary
action against you. First verbally, then in writing.
Theses aren't the same' mistakes,
but they're made according to your supervisor.
Think about it this way, what happens if your supervisor
makes a mistake, what will he do? Remember you can
only report to the supervisor, there is no contact
between you and his supervisors!
Back
to the making mistakes... what happens if
the company makes a mistake...?
Stuck
aren't you... you can't think
of much besides making a complaint.
If
an accident at work occurs, it gets logged and depending
on how serious you look in the eyes of the
company, you'll be 'kindly' given
days or weeks off. Being compensated for sick pay,
which you know isn't much!!! The injury affects
your 'life', not just your work and the
company gives you a couple of days to recover. Now
that's a joke!
No
matter what action is taken against you need to make
an accident
at work claim. Why? This is the only 'powerful'
solution you have over the company if they make a mistake.
Now
you're both sailing in the same boat.
