Jive's suggestion trades one addiction for another, truth be told.

you say that like the two addictions are equally harmful

id trade my addiction to cigarettes for working out any day of the week
You could trade those cigs in on a box mod and chuck some sick clouds, bro, and be totally like, more healthy.

sometimes i just have no idea what youre saying

Get a pig.
Pigs are unaesthetic and not impressive
stop being so shallow then
Why?

so you can have a pig as a pet
Why would I force myself to do something like that? What's wrong with cats and dogs?

nothing is wrong with them, i have 3 dogs and a cat myself. pigs are just cool.

Fuck that. Go to the doctor and do whatever paperwork you need to do. Scumbag boss.

for what its worth i dont think hes trying to get out of paying me or anything

theres no way i can find out whats wrong with my foot and if its serious file for comp after the fact?

Go to the doctor in your network, get reimbursed for your copay if they charge one, and file for comp if it results in loss of time.

copay? whats that

When you go to a doctor in your insurance plan, you typically pay a fee for examinations, services, or prescriptions. Like $20-50.

oh okay. ill probably need xrays.

Is there light duty stuff you can do at work? Maybe run the cash register or phone or something? I had basically the same incident occur working at a grocery store (hairline fracture on the arch of my foot, but not a break) and refusing to let it heal will just make things worse.

eh, not really. the offices are pretty much taken care of and we dont have any cash registers or anything like that.

if i end up being unable to work, i dont think theyll jip me out of pay, even if i dont file. i just want to be sure. the people here are good people.

Always file for comp. Even if it's just a bruise, better safe than sorry.

well he specifically told me not to so if i do tell the doctor it was at work, will i be the only one doing the paperwork or will he have to do some as well?

Doesn't matter, he's trying to avoid paying. Y'all got free healthcare tho, don't you?

yeah we do

so just to be clear, if i dont file dor comp by telling my doctor and i end up not being able to work, im inelligble to be paid for my time off

File then, he trying to fuck ya bro

i was asking you a question, not clarifying

Sounds like your boss just doesn't want the hassle.

If its serious, file for workers comp. If its not, just work through it.

well how do i know if its serious?

im in pain but im no doctor. what if i find out its fractured or something after i see my doctor? can i file at that point?

was just clearing out some of the body parts from the machine we scrapped and our dumpster fell on the arch of my foot (just past the steel toe). been limping from pain ever since. my boss told me not to tell the doctor it was at work because the paper work you have to do isnt worth it when you know youre going to get better. i just dont want to get jipped out of pay if im not allowed to work for awhile by not telling them it was at work.

If a raise was discussed during the hiring process, after a probational period, then three months is plenty of time. Most of this should have been ironed out when you were hired though, you want to get it in writing as well.

As it stands it doesn't sound like you were given a probation period, unless that's just how it works in Canada.

yeah, i was a pretty impromptu hire. and i also put quotations around probation for a reason.

Quote
You shouldn't expect to earn what someone who has been there for a year makes when you've been there three months regardless of skill. There's a pecking order to these things and time spent with the company means a lot.

eh, theres more to why i expect a similar pay but i wont get into it. obviously if everything between the two of us was the same sans time spent with company itd be different.

Where are you working? 3 months seems really early to ask for a raise, especially if that was a probationary period.

small engine shop

its weird that you say that though. every person i ask about this irl says 3 months for your first raise, and then once a year after that

Maybe if they lowballed your salary when you were hired, sure. I could see asking for a $2-3 raise, but just realize that asking for $20 is almost a 50% increase, and you probably should have negotiated harder if that's what you were making in a similarly skilled job before this one. If you're not getting any benefits you can leverage that too.

What are more senior guys at the shop making?

i am getting benefits, just fyi.

theres only about 5 of us, and i cant imagine my boss is making any more than 30 or 40 an hour. one of the guys whos been here a year, who i am just as skilled as, is making 20. the other guy is making 22.

Hmm, you could probably get away with asking for $20 based on your skill, but expect a counter offer. Skill can be tricky because it sounds like it's still technically "unskilled" work (i.e., no degree or trade school required), and if costs get too high he could just hire someone new to replace you (despite the learning curve and your obvious skill). idk though. You really have to feel the culture of the shop to know; if it sounds like asking for a raise is the norm, definitely go for it.

yeah, im pretty sure im just gunna start by asking them to match what i was making before. if they honour it, i win. if i make 17 off that, i win.

if they give me 15 or 16 ill be pretty pissed though.
