Today is about the 3rd week my colleague Gerie didn’t come to work because of her injured foot. About 2 and a half weeks ago she bumped her foot onto a wall, and due to that she has hurt her little toe. Ok could happen, I understand it hurts a lot.
But because this injured toe she didn’t come to work for 3 weeks now. She sais the toe is swollen badly, and she can’t wear a shoe.
Well, ok, but she can wear slippers, she comes to the store on slippers, so why can’t she work on slippers? She can do most of her work sitting on a chair. She showed me her toe, and to me it doesn’t look that bad as she claims. She doesn’t want to go see a doctor at all.
Last year I had my foot injured very badly , as I fell while I was horseriding. The horse and me fell down, and my leg got stuck underneath the horse. Because of this my foot was flipped backwards to my ankle. I tore the cap of my big toe joint. Below my foot I had terrible black bruises and my foot was so swollen I had to wear slippers as my shoe didn’t fit. Even though my foot was injured, I went to work every day, I had to go to work by bike (It’s 11 kilometres to get to work.)
Now I need to take care of the liquorstore. Normally that’s not a problem, I know how things work. But I also need to take care of the service counter, and do all ordering for it, I need to do lots of administration and work at the paydesk as well. Yup, it’s holiday in our company. It’s too much work for me, so I really cannot take care the liquorstore completely. I really don’t have time for it!
I am soo really pissed! I told my chief of this, and she agrees on me. She went to see our supermarketmanager about this matter, and all he said was: : “Well, Gerie will return to work if she feels like it”
I think next Thursday, when I will see my supermarketmanager again, I will ask him how he will solve this, as I am not able to do this for any longer. It really makes me so tired. My neck and back are really hurting a lot. If this will continue I might end up home being sick..
