Injured on the job & supervisor is making life hell.
I work a factory job. I was recently injured on the job when a machine’s safety measure failed to work. This caused crushing nerve damage, for which I need a brace and weekly physio. WS is involved. The longer it takes for me to heal (slow process unfortunately - still on very light duties), the more often my supervisor keeps making rude jabs when talking to me and now treats me like I know nothing. They are not following recommendations made by physio and are now asking me to time how long it takes me to do every task. There’s no HR or anyone above them to go to - they are HR. It’s a very small factory.
What steps should I be taking? Do I have any legal legs to stand on? I’m worried they’re trying to push me out. A friend recommended an employment lawyer, but is that worth it at this stage?
