He definitely could not fake that injury.<br /><br />Anyone who has background in management, should know the importance of giving awards, or recognizing a person like this fine officer, who was able to move beyond his leg amputation and return to his job.<br /><br />I get that some injured workers are upset at their treatment, and rightly so. I also think we should praise and be happy for those who successfully return to work. <br /><br />Pulling people up is so much better than pushing them down.anon WChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697412043443677234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489363879633129568.post-87700333491310004822014-10-22T17:50:54.394-07:002014-10-22T17:50:54.394-07:00this article is a joke.

I worked at state fund and know how much they LOOTED from state fund alone. via partly or completely FAKED 100% claims civil service - the CHP and Prison Guards just to name two groups - helped steal 10-15,000 claims that robbed money from the general fund that "took away from others"<br /><br />all those faked claims PLUS the multiple, multi-billion dollar plus scandals that looted tens to hundreds of billions more from the industry. state fund by law should have RESERVED money for future medical but they were too busy robbing Peter to Pay Paul (the metaphorical CHP)<br /><br />note too, this has gone on for over 100 years since the law that enabled comp was passed and implemented in an ILLEGAL MANNER. the people were NOT allowed to vote on it and that makes this law and all it touches an unconstitutional abomination.<br /><br />no vote, no law. its in the constitution, read it.Corruption, California Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03323496108497330497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489363879633129568.post-9821931946795367802014-10-22T10:03:12.800-07:002014-10-22T10:03:12.800-07:00Great job on the story about the police officer wh...Great job on the story about the police officer who was able to return to full duty after an amputation. I shared this on an injured worker forum to inspire other injured workers.<br /><br />Giving awards is always a good thing. I have been in management for most of my career and know it motivates. We gave awards out monthly to our sales force. It is good to show that good behavior sometimes gets rewarded. Plus, it is fun to give out awards! <br /><br />Bravo to you Mr DePoalo for thinking out of the box with your award system. I give you an A+. :)anon WChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04697412043443677234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489363879633129568.post-28116658589499352282014-10-20T16:30:57.296-07:002014-10-20T16:30:57.296-07:00@Sue - but it's not just "doing what you ...@Sue - but it's not just "doing what you are supposed to do" - it is doing an EXEMPLARY job over and above what you are supposed to do!

I learned long ago working the floor in a hospital as a CNA, that you can be the very best at what you do, but the one time you mess up? That is the one thing folks will remember. Comp I think is the same way. I know first had that comp does help folks, I personally helped to take care of a man that had been a QUADPlegic for 30 years from and OJI where scalfolding fell on him... The system did take care of him for 30 some years. Al though even for him, and after 30 years, he was still having to fight for coverage on certain things. But at that point I think he enjoyed the fight. It kind of kept him going... Any way, many are helped, yes, and that's how it's supposed to be, but many are being harmed as well, and it is happening on a BAD FLIP of a Bias Dr.s coin a lot of the times these, sorry to say. If you end up on the GOOD FLip your fine, but those who end of on the other side of that coin. can expect to go through hell, and back, before they ever get justice, if then.... Peace and Congrates to the folks who do get treated good, the thing is, we all should be being treated good. Thanks and do keep on telling both sides. I loved seeing Sedgwick the other day. How do we educate each other if none of us talk with each other? Peace and thanks. Darren Fonzseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08084814827198087154noreply@blogger.com
