Imagine working for a boss who is suppose to have the employees’ best interest at heart but clearly doesn’t. Would you report him, or would you mind your own business?

In this story, one person is fuming when a worker is seriously injured but the supervisor doesn’t take it seriously. That’s far from the only thing this guy has done wrong!

Keep reading for all the details.

AITA for reporting my supervisor to upper management for telling random employees PHI when they have no reason to know, and to the state workers comp commission for trying to prevent employees who have legitimate injuries from using workers comp?

For context I am the associate safety director for a manufacturing company in the US.

An employee got hurt (hit in the ribs with a tote because the forklift driver wasn’t paying attention.)

He filled out an accident report and went to my boss, the senior safety director.

The boss made a huge mistake.

My idiot boss decided that he was somehow qualified to examine the employee and make a decision on if the employee needed to be seen.

He decided that the employee should just take Tylenol and suck it up.

I found out about it a week later when speaking with the employee and he was still in pain.

I sent him out for care and shocker, he has 2 fractured ribs.

It wasn’t fair to the employee.

This employee counts on us to have his best interest at heart.

He doesn’t speak much English and is fairly young and didn’t know what the comp process is. IMO this is massively unethical.

This idiot safety director also went around making judgemental comments and announcing that an employee was getting shots, and therefore “isn’t a man.”

I don’t think the boss should be sharing the information in workers comp paperwork.

The only reason he knew is because the employee got hurt at work and it was in the paperwork from workers comp.

He also went around telling everyone that the sprained knee another employee had was just a way to make us pay for his treatment since he had Lyme disease and wanted us to pay for his treatment so he didn’t have to…..

I would definitely report the supervisor. He does not have the workers’ best interest at heart. In fact, he sounds really horrible.

Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story.

This person knows the boss messed up.

Another person shares how HR should respond.

One person didn’t need to read past the title.

Nobody is on the boss’s side.

That boss deserves to get fired.
