Time To Put This Working Relationship Behind You
BAD BEHAVIOR, CANADA, COWORKERS, HEALTH & BODY, OFFICE, VANCOUVER | HEALTHY | OCTOBER 7, 2020
I was in a work-related accident years ago and have a recurring neck issue. During one flareup, I head to our first aid person to note the pain in case I have to leave early from work or go to the doctor.
First Aid: “Where does it hurt?”
I point at the back of my neck and she stands behind me, poking at the spot.
First Aid: “We could try a realignment.”
Me: “No. No, thank you. This is recurring and I just need it noted. I’ll see my doctor if it gets worse.”
First Aid: “But we could just—”
Me: “No. I don’t need treatment. Just please note it.”
She starts massaging the area and pulling me to her.
Me: “Look—”
She takes my head and turns it sharply, making my neck audibly snap.
Me: “What the f***?!”
I stumbled forward away from her, suddenly lightheaded. I walked away, not looking back, furious that she snapped my neck without permission. She’s not allowed behind me ever again.
