I worked for the company as a sales associate and optical tech. I was highly trained and competant in my job. All was well for a while until I transferred to a store that was a one hour commute from my house.
For the first few months I was okay. There seemed to be some tension there, and employees seemed self protective as if they were walking on eggshells. I didn't mind, and I just did my job, then something happened.
The long commute took a toll on me physically. Sitting in the car for over two hours four days a week caused a serious tear in the ligaments of my left knee. The pain was overwhelming and intolerable at times. I toughed it out as well as I could for as long as I could. I was living on painkillers, and I finally went to see a doctor.
I was told that I seriously tore the meniscus in my knee from holding it in a cramped position while driving. It was recommended that I don't travel. I told this to the manager, and she told me to bring her a doctor's note. However, in order to get the note, I had to get an MRI that I couldn't afford. Since I was severely limping and in pain all the time, it seemed to me that my condition was obvious. A note was unnecessary. All they had to do was transfer to another store. There's a store 2 miles from my house. They refused to transfer me. They began nitpicking about my performance. (try keeping up when all you can feel in a burning tear in your knee every time you move)
In spite of all their virtue signaling about caring about their employees, they forced me to continue driving and to continue damaging my already damaged knee. This in effect was forcing me to make medical decisions that went against my better judgement. All the while they held my job over my head.
One day I showed up a work in horrible pain, barely able to walk. The assistant manager said in a threatening tone, "I need you on your A game. You look like you're on your C game." I explained that my pain level was over the top. Remember that I had been limping around for about two months at this point, and I had requested a transfer. I made my way to a chair because I had to sit down. I was trying to recover from the pain when this same assistant manager waddled over to me and said, "We're too busy to just sit around. Get up and clean glasses." This would have required me to walk across the room and stand on my damaged knee.
What a sickening, cold blooded thing to do to your employee! I had up until my injury been a very productive employee. I left before I decked that little creep. And I left because the pain was more than I could take. Their reptilian response was to fire me for leaving my job without kissing someone's butt. All they care about is their power trip.
They're the one's who injured me by forcing me to drive when I told them that driving caused my injury. They're the one's who forced me to keep re-injuring my knee. Then they play victim and say that I was the one who was in the wrong. These people are no better than sociopaths. They treat their employees like farm animals. You're okay until you can't pull the plow anymore, then they send you to the knacker.
I am permantly damaged. I'll probably have a limp for the rest of my life. My quality of life is diminished as I can't do most of things I used to enjoy. All because of an unethical, greedy, power-tripping company that refused to transfer me and forced me to perform a task that was physically damaging to me. And they knew they were causing me harm. They can't feign ignorance.
Do Not Ever accept a job offer from these sadistic greed heads.

I decline to further assist you due to your emotional instability and adolescent rage. You may someday be able to capture the joy of life following counseling and anger management therapy.
There are several mental health condition programs and support groups available in Marion, Sumter and Lake Counties.
Best of luck to you and goodbye.

Assist Me!!!!
AUTHOR: Edgar - (United States)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, September 12, 2023
Assist me! Are you out of your mind? All you have done is attack my character and attempt to defend your own abusive actions. I know who you are, and I know you are Eyeglass World management. Your attempt at damage control is futile. I also believe you are under investigation. You should ask yourself how well you know the people around you, the one's who smile to your face, but behind your back it's a different story.
You have succeeded only in making my point here on a public forum that Eyeglass World is run by abusive management who become petulant and defensive when challanged or criticized. It's unethical and unbelievable that you would call your actions "assistance." Talk about spinning the truth. This behavior is all too common in corporate America and politics.
Therefore, I rest my case and double down on my warning that no one should accept a job at Eyeglass World. Take a good look, this is the caliber of the people for whom you would be working. They abuse, deny, attack, then attempt the twist the truth and frame themselves as either victims or heroes. Absolutely reprehensible.

Drawing a distinction between "competancy" and "proficiancy" is the sort of thing a supervisor would say. That's something that would come up in a leadership meeting. You just told on yourself. I have a pretty good idea who you are now. I thought I recognized your speech habits and your ineffectual style of argument that relies on ad hominem attacks. Ha. Busted. You scared, little, coward. Want to keep playing? I wonder how HR would feel if they knew you were engaging with me this way. I can't prove it right now, but I will. I have deeper connections than you know about.

Either you have no idea, and you're rambling out of your butthole, or you're an employee of the company, and you're hiding. You're throwing stones from behind a screen. If that's the case, you know who I am. Face me face to face. Or are you chicken? I'll find out who you are.

Competency ≠ Proficiency
AUTHOR: coast - (United States)

Perhaps your employer would have honored your relocation request if you were a valued employee. Competency doesn't imply proficiency. (No, a thesaurus is not a dictionary).
The name-calling is adolescent.

You're adolescent

SUBMITTED: Saturday, September 09, 2023
You have no idea about what happened unless you're a part of this. Yet you are too cowardly to identify yourself. What makes you think you deserve anything more than name calling when you barge in, force your uninformed opinion, and then pout that you've been insulted?
Just like a sociopath you barge in, press buttons, then cry victim when you get it rammed back down your throat.
Again, coward, identify yourself. You're too craven too fight like a man. All you can do is whine, "You called me a bad name, now I'm going to pout and cry and play victim.
Again, I'll say you don't know what happened unless you're part of the company and hiding like a coward behind a keyboard. If you know something, state it. If you don't, then shut up.
I'll bet you're the kind of anal arpeture that runs up to complete strangers offering your uniformed opinions. I'll bet you're the kind of jerk who thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. I'll bet everyone you know hates you.
Keep this up with me. I won't quit. And I'll use every resource I have to find out who you are. I have many resources. Internet anonymity isn't a guarantee.

You are Truly Pathetic
AUTHOR: Edgar - (United States)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, September 09, 2023
What I'm seeing here, is a pathetic busy body, pushing his/her opinion on a subject to which he/she has no first hand knowledge.
You are not a part of this. You have witnessed nothing. You know nothing of the facts of this case. You just vandalized a post that I put up for the benefit of others who might also become victimized. Calling this a "public forum," and using that as justification for attacking a complete stranger on a matter that neither concerns you or to which you have any knowledge is dangerous and disingenuous. If someone else walks into this bad situation and suffers, you bear at least some of the blame.
Your comments so far have not created a case for your side. All you did was try to draw a dubious distinction between two words that are synonymous, and that's the weak and only basis of your "argument."
Like most people who have nothing to say, you nitpicked at typographical errors as if they are indicative of anything other than sloppiness. But you have not proven me to be a liar, which I suppose you're suggesting. You have not proven my account to be false in anyway. You have not witnessed or experienced what happened in any way other than a petulant misreading of my post that probably has more to do with your pathetic lack of a life and literacy than anything else. All you have managed to do so far is nitpick the most insignificant nonsense.
Until you identify yourself and present actual evidence, then shut up. Do you just scan through this forum and search for posts to vandalize? That's what I suspect you do because you are obviously a loser with nothing better to do. Only cowards hide behind anonymity.

Whose Your Whipping Boy?
AUTHOR: coast - (United States)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, September 09, 2023
"So shut up and buy a dictionary."
No, I won't shut up. Apparently, you are unaware of the concept of a public forum.
"You're Don't Even Know How to Use the English Language……open your mouth an prove it."
"competant in my job"
I know how to use the English language well enough to know the difference between You're and you. I also know the difference between an and and. The word is competent, not competant. Perhaps you are the one who should purchase a dictionary.
"Stupid means to do harm to others"
It is unclear as to where you acquired that fallacious definition.
You can continue to play the victim, but ultimately, a mature adult accepts responsibility for his or her actions.
"I kept forcing myself"
That is an acknowledgment of responsibility. You have advanced past the denial stage and appear to be in the early stage of maturity. Congratulations.

You're my victim now

SUBMITTED: Friday, September 08, 2023
You can't even read a dictionary. That's why I copied the definition for you. You are a stupid, meddlesome, busy body, and no one gives a crap about your uninformed opinions. My only question is, are you from the company or just some pathtetic busy body who has nothing better to do than impose you ignorant, moronic opinions on others? Let me know, so I know how to proceed.
I will not give up. You started this. You need to stay out of other people's business.
"So shut up and buy a dictionary."
No, I won't shut up. Apparently, you are unaware of the concept of a public forum. Bring it on, Baby. I've only just begun. And once again, shut up.
I know how to use the English language well enough to know the difference between You're and you. I also know the difference between an and and. The word is competent, not competant. Perhaps you are the one who should purchase a dictionary.
You suceeded in pissing me off. I was typing fast. Typos are nothing in the nature of premising an argument on the incorrect definition of a word. That distinction should be obvious even to someone with your limited perspicacity. Nice try, but another failure from a loser like you.
It is unclear as to where you acquired that fallacious definition. The Random House Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language. Have a grown up look it up for you.
"I kept forcing myself"
That is an acknowledgment of responsibility. That's just too stupid and random to acknowledge.
But keep it up. I eat cretins like you for breakfast. The very fact that responded at all is proof that you have nothing better do after you've counted your three teeth for the tenth time and are just sitting there in your trailer with nothing else to do but butt into matters that are none of your business. Stay out of other people's business, but if you want to keep fighting, I'm in it for the long haul, and you're toast.
And have the guts to identify youself. I'm not a coward, and have identified myself. If you don't identify yourself, you're telling the public that you are not only a presumptious a*s, a busy body, an ignoramous, and a cretin, but you're also telling everyone that you are a coward as well.

Do you know the actual definition of "compel"? It's synonymous with "force."
Compel - to force or drive especially to a course of action. To secure or bring about by force. Synonyms are: constrain, enforce, exact, impel, necessitate, oblige, urge, bulldoze, coerce, concuss, dragoon, drive, hussle, make, restrain, squeeze, crack down, make necessary, put the arm on, put the chill on, shotgun, throw weight around, put the heat on.
Does that sound like a CHOICE? Well, does it? Your attempt to draw a distinction between "force" and "compel" is the most illiterate failure I've seen in years. There's an old saying, "It's best to remain silent and be thought to be an idiot than to open your mouth an prove it." So shut up and buy a dictionary.

Did I mention that you're an ignorant, presumptuous idiot
AUTHOR: Edgar - (United States)
SUBMITTED: Friday, September 08, 2023
My report was very detailed and true. You feebly attempted to twist my report, and you didn't even do a good job. You just made moronic assumptions and feeble attempts at a defense. Do you know the definition of "stupid"? Apparently not, so I'll tell you.
Stupid means to do harm to others, either an individual or a group, without gaining anything or even suffering a loss to yourself. You did me harm, and you gained nothing. Therefore, you are stupid. Nobody wants to hear from a stupid person, so shut up.

You self-medicated and disregarded the doctor's directions. You claim that you were forced to continue driving. That is incorrect. You CHOSE to continue driving. You CHOSE to make medical decisions that went against your better judgment.
Sure, they were coldhearted; therefore, you felt compelled (not forced) to make decisions that were not in your best self-interest.

You're Full of Crap and Idiotic Assumptions
AUTHOR: Edgar - (United States)
SUBMITTED: Friday, September 01, 2023
I told you clearly that my doctor told me to stop driving!!! I told you that. I asked to be transferred, and you said NO!!!!! I was trying to follow my doctor's orders, but you held my job over my head and forced me to keep driving. And what's this BS about medicating? I was taking Aleve. OTC painkillers. You make it sound like I was on opium. That's a lie.
I needed my job, so I kept forcing myself, hoping things would get better. I kept trying to ask corporate for a transfer. This is a complex injury that requires complex treatment that I can't afford. You should have had the common decency to transfer me. YOU saw me limping, YOU saw I was in pain, and YOU CHOSE to ignore it. You used me for what I was worth, you seriouly injured me, you diminished my quality of life then you threw me out. Now you come here trying to defend yourself. That just further proves your lack of decency and character.
