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.)

This happened to one of my friends while he was working at McDonald's and he got a pretty nice T.v. out of it.

The McD's I worked at gave you a free meal + dessert item every time you worked 5+ hours shifts.

omg 3rd degree burns? that's past the dermis layer. you're a lying fucktard. there's no way you'd be able to even type with one hand to post this FML cuz it's too painful. also workers comp. AND hospital fees Mcdonalds wouldn't be shady like that. I call FAKE.

Ok, as a fellow McDonalds employee. I have come to the conclusion that both you and your manager are complete fools. The manager SHOULD have filled an incident report in, and sent you home/hospital. YOU should have worn the proper Grill Cleaning (Heat proof) Gloves, to prevent yourself from getting burnt at all, I mean seriously PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is there for a reason. So don't have a whinge if you don't know how to follow McDonald's safety procedures. Jeez!

dude, haven't you had the safety shit jammed down your throat in your training and at school? you can get serious compensation for that. unless you were blatantly disregarding safety procedures they owe you for AT LEAST your hospital bill (lol, feels wierd saying that... canada's free health care FTW).
