Hi, I'm in Il. and the weather is really cold and snowy right now. Last week I took a wound to my left foot (not Kroger related) and its since gotten infected where I can barely walk. I'm a bagger tho and management keeps sending me outside to get carts and I can barely walk and it's just getting worse. Told the SM the other day I need light duty and he said 'do the job your paid for or leave and don't come back.' The union here is useless, any ideas?
I told them I was going to do that and they said they don't care, they won't accept a doctor's note. I'm due in later today and I can barely move around, don't know what I'm going to do

Just call out if they won't accept a doctor's note and it hurts that bad.

You said the union was useless. Did you talk to them? What did they say? Also, management has to accept a Dr excuse. It's on them if they don't. Did you bring this up to the union?

quit. but call in sick every day and see how long you can go before they start to really question you
I called out for tonight's shift. **** these bastards, I'm not losing my ****in foot over this **** Kroger job. I'm at the hospital right now waiting to be seen. Thanks for all the advice, folks
Policy usually is that Light duty if only approved for workmen s comp cases. If you are part time they will probably tell you that you need to just take time off. If you cant do your job to its fullest, then they have every right to tell you no light duty. if it is that bad you can take a 30 day personal/medical leave of absence. just have your doctor fill out the paper work. And no you will not get paid while out.
i had a bad case of plantar fasciatis from walking all day, it was so bad that i could barely walk but i still made it to work with a bad limp, not one co manager or store manager even asked me what was wrong, and they saw me limp across from them multiple times.

Retail managers are c o c k suckers. I was on a job where a guy in his late 50s had walked on those hard ass floors so much for so long his ankles and feet swelled up to where the skin split, and he was leaving literally trails of blood back in the warehouse. I and a co worker told the manager on duty, and he shrugged and said 'well then he can go home and take the point if he can't do the job, what do I care? I'm not a doctor'
