i know this world is cruel and peeps are all about "me" but its so hard to not be SO angry and upset at some worldly actions. about 2 weeks ago a one of the warehouse workers (bout 28) was atop of the bins, way up top and fell. from what we heard he was ok and just cut his leg. so come the following Monday (last Monday) we find out he died. the most horrible news ever. we were all so bummed and we were told to not talk about it...NOT AT ALL. so of course we still did trying to figure out what went wrong.
some stories were he had a pre-existing condition (high blood pressure) that cause him to get sick and fall. anyway everything has been going around the rumor mill. so on wednesday, one of the security guards that i talk to (and witness too) came in to see how i was doing and we were talking about our co-worker that died. anyway he was w/the kid and told me the whole story. said our co-workers cut was deeper than what everyones talking about that you could see his bone and that he lost a lot of blood because it was at least an hour before anyone in our company tended to him. and by the time they finally sent him to the hospital, they didn't call an ambulance but called a cab. this poor kid was in pain, hurt and all the called was a cab. this KILLED me and i've been SO upset about it. i couldnt help but cry when i was told. its just SO horrible....he's human. but yet they treated him like a piece of worthless meat. UGH
wow that is really awful!!
aww that's really sad ...
i know. its like i can understand the company needing to protect themselves BUT he's still human ya know.
that makes me sick
me too. i told my mom and sisters and they were SO mortified and cried when i told them. they treated him SO wrong.
:(
wow that's horrible, i actually stopped chewing my breakfast midway through
yeah. i cant shake it. its horrible. BUT i did find out that one of the kids that works here called the local newspaper (anonymously) and they're investigating and the security guard is talking to the family regarding being a witness etc.
