Reflecting on how boss finally decided to start taking care of his workers comp thing, the way he asked me if I told dude if I worked here or not seemed to have come off as if I was supposed to deny working here.
I was almost expecting his reply after I said yes to be, "No you don't work here, anymore." Or something like that.
He could have taken care of his shit any time in the past 6mo & that wouldn't have happened.
I even told him day it happened that if he can furnish proof, or get workers comp that day, that the ticket would be voided.
