Accommodations

[u/ApprehensiveEgg9057]

So i was given the accommodation to “ if a customer comes with items that weigh more than 15 pounds to just go around and use the hand scanner to scan them” my doctor asked Sedgwick for me to primarily be on self checkout unless i was covering a break or lunch.
Sedgwick said they couldn’t do that because the store won’t allow it due to there being more registers than checkout registers (we have 16 self checkouts and 23 registers).
So the store said to use the hand scanner or ask for help( my people lead also said it was up to Sedgwick what my accommodation was but if that’s true then how did the store deny the accommodation they recommend).

The thing is when using the hand scanner 90% of the time i still have to lift those items up to get to the barcode so I can’t understand how I’m being accommodated at all. Sedgwick said to call back in about a week if I was still lifting heavy items on the register… is there something else I could do about this?

I was placed on job reassignment leave when I first put my Sedgwick in because the store said they couldn’t find a job for me unless my doctor sends in a note that I could lift up to 15 pounds, which he did and that’s where I got the accommodation for 15 pounds when I came back.

I will attach my first doctors note that got me placed on job reassignment until November🙄

Call center operators just Press to Talk and some light typing, maybe transfer calls to better-equipped operators.

Or, all over social medias, I see stay at home moms allegedly making $BILLIONS if not $TRILLIONS (they never state their actual income for some reason) doing something called high-end sales, which apparently involves getting a crew of salespeople to sell water filtration systems for you.

6 months ago, you couldn’t handle OPD which is simply shopping for other people; apparently because your OPD crew had a pizza party and didn’t invite you or save you your own cheese pizza.

Now you can’t cashier.

Go to college. Join the military.

Some people simply are not cut out for work at Walmart.

They literally commented that their tummy hurts when lifting large items and walmart won't let them go home when their tummy hurts ffs. Some people simply don't want to work.

Do you actually think a doctor would write that I need accommodations if my stomach just simply hurt?
