The Curse

By nancypants1124 - This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I was joking around with my manager about faking an injury to collect Worker's Compensation. Then I actually slipped and sprained my foot, and now my manager thinks I'm lying. FML

If it's real you can get a medical certificate, but YDI for joking about something like that to your boss

Hahaha that's what you get!!!!!!!!

Wait a minute who needs workmans comp for a sprained ankle ? I understand if it's a job the requires physical activity like mowing lawns or something like that but if it's a desk job I wouldn't believe you either OP.

Many desk jobs do not even have workers comp (and are not required to) because of the low risk of something happening. There are more jobs out there that require some form of physical duty (such as walking) and a sprain might require a few days off work.

I don't understand why everyone's calling this karma. Are you guys really saying that they deserved this for simply joking around?

It's called keeping ones mouth shut around the boss and managers when it comes to joking. Your work life will go so much easier. Good luck.

First rule of taking a dive is to never tell anyone

I've been on work comp for the majority of 3 years. It's not anything you want. They suck.
