Buckle up!

When I returned to a new position where I’m employed, I received a text from HR. The representative was asking if I was okay or was having any issues. If I was, to let them know if they could help.

When that time came, I was told to get a functional capacity evaluation (FCE) performed to see if they could accommodate me with my health issues.

I asked the Physical Therapist during the test if that was all that they sent for job description, they confirmed it was.

They had me lift/walk with 20lbs a few times, watched my heart rate while I stepped up and down for a small length of time, and had me push a fixture meant to replicate a pallet jack loaded with 50 lbs.

My job duties were reported wrong during my workers compensation investigation as a supervisor didn’t report my injury when I reported my injury. The company bumped (demoted) me the day after I reported my injury, and moved me briefly another position
