Today, I work at McDonalds. I burned my hand while cleaning their grill and have a 2nd/3rd degree burn from my pinky to my wrist. When told about this, my manager told me that there was "nothing that they could do for me and to tough it out". However I was given a free McFlurry. FML

PLEASE write down in detail what happened and everything he said to you . The sooner the better; the fresher it is in your mind, the more you will remember. Save all written materials, receipts for medical care and medication, including over-the-counter drugs. Take pictures of your injury, if you haven't already and make sure it is dated somehow. Take another picture every few days and date it. Write down all the effects of your injury, particularly things that you can't do because of it. If you do call HR, write down everything you told them and everything they told you. They may advise you to file a Worker's Compensation claim. It would be very good to talk to a lawyer before do this or sign any type of agreement with the company. Get better quickly and as soon as you are well, find a lawyer. If you're underage, have your parents seek out an attorney for you. You might very well qualify for your county's Legal Aid which will be free or absolutely no more than you can afford. But don't let this pass. It's not right, and it's my strong belief that you are entitled to damages. If that manager gets away with treating you like this, he will do it to more employees. This is what civil law is for, IMO. (I work in the legal field, BTW.)

Put your hand in the McFlurry, but I think that will just make it worse

That's if you're part time. If your full time, then you get the benefits.

Why would you be on the manager's side if you think the OP got severe burns as a result of poor training (management)?

Dude, if you find another job, I would highly recommend it. I'm 18, and I have been working at McDonald's for two months. If California had a better employment rate, I would go elsewhere. Oh well, I have to pay for college tuitions. :(

Yeah, part time workers don't get anything. I work at Subway and we've had two girls get hurt pretty bad. One sliced her finger open with a knife and the other got a pan of bread dropped on her arm (350 degrees F). The one with the sliced finger got to leave for stitches but had to come straight back to work, while the burned girl got laughed at. It was a fairly serious burn and left a huge scar. We get cut and burned all the time and our manager never does anything to help.
