Where I worked they would put detectives on em. Busted one doing plumbing on the side and another playing in a softball tournament out of town.



At the dismissal meeting one even got mad when the company refused to give him vacation pay.

One of my coworkers husband is on disability for back issues and has been for a few years. He gets about 3k a month in benefits plus Medicare. He is going before a judge in May to have his case reviewed. I asked his wife what are they going to do if he gets denied. She's said he will go go back to working at the local plant. I was like wtf.

While working in the public sector among tradespeople, disability was the goose that laid the golden egg...it was pitiful!

Well it's better than bitching about Cadillac driving Louisiana purchase users.

The phony's really make it tough for the people who actually need it. Lady I work withs husband hurt his back almost a year ago on the job. Doctor said he needed surgery, company didn't want to pay so they found a doctor who would say he didn't need surgery, just therapy. So lady I work with and her husband find a second doctor that also thinks surgery is necessary, but the company is still fighting it. They haven't seen a dime since he has been unable to work

Yeah a disability check is like the golden ticket if you're a mooch.

A blind man, a paraplegic, and a redneck are sitting in a bar when Jesus walks in.

The blind man tells the bartender: "I feel the presence of The Lord. Send him a cup of coffee, and put it on my tab."

The paraplegic tells the bartender: "I see that Jesus is sitting over there sipping coffee. Please send him a sandwich and put it on my bill."

The redneck asks the bartender: "Say, ain't that God's boy sittin' over there? Send him over a shot of Wild Turkey, tell him it's from me."

Jesus gets up and approaches the blind man: "Thank you for your generosity. It has been your salvation." He then touches the blind man's eyes, and suddenly, the blind man can see.

Jesus then approaches the paraplegic: "Thank you for your generosity. It has been your salvation." He then touches the legs of the paraplegic, who promptly jumps out of his wheelchair and dances a jig.

Jesus then approaches the redneck, who shouts: "DON'T TOUCH ME, I'M ON DISABILITY!!!"
