Hinckley also said Chipotle upper management had no malice toward Ortiz, but felt betrayed because the corporation had supported her through four pregnancies and four worker's compensation claims, and was thinking of promoting her. "She was well-liked. She was a valued employee," Hinckley told the jury. "But she violated that trust by taking the money." In his argument, Hinckley said he didn't know why Ortiz took the funds, but told the jury that Ortiz, who is married with nine children, had fallen on hard times in the fall of 2014. She had to get a loan from a relative to pay an electric bill of $1,700 and had to move from her house to a small apartment. She also told a colleague that she had to get a second job because she needed the money.



seems kind of fishy. and she sounds guilty as frick

Yes, but that aggravation has to be caused by something. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "aggravation" in my previous post.

There has to be an occurrence. Something has to happen. The article doesn't go into any detail at all as to if there was a real injury or not. Simply stating that your job aggravated your carpal tunnel, and filing for benefits, is pretty shitty. Especially if your employer is already covering part of your employee benefits, which Ia assume as a GM, they were.

you're not necessarily wrong. I am not either. We don't know if she had an actual injury because the article doesn't say. It simply refers to her "injured wrist". Maybe she fell. Or maybe she filed a bullshite repetitive motion claim. We don't know.

I want trying to troll or be funny. I legitimately think forcing the chipotle higher up to eat at Chipotle would be a worse punishment.

Yeah it's like the one thing the article doesn't go into detail on and it's one of the most important parts of the story.

California law permits employees to seek compensation for aggravation of pre-existing conditions.


Good lord.

While the underlying condition itself is not new, the aggravation caused by the accident qualifies the pre-existing condition as a “new” injury for purposes of recovery.


I'd bet they also have a law which forces you to hire people with a preexisting condition.

I had to control F the frick out of it to make sure I wasn't missing something. Which I wasn't. They just give no background. I'd love to know what her injury claim was.

Don't get me wrong, if you hire someone with carpal tunnel, you better have some ergonomic training in place and have said employee utilize that shite quarterly. Otherwise, this is bound to happen.

it's a pretty gray area, but necessary. The issue isn't with the law. If a company has an unsafe workplace, and it causes someone pre existing condition to worsen, they deserve benefits. The issue is that this is pretty easy to bullshite your way through.

I had a lady file a claim that she developed it on the job. She kept trying to work and do shite so she could get further injured and take off. She was always looking to game the system. We put her as a door greeter based on the doctor's word on what she could do.

four worker's compensation claims


This is what I'm having the hardest time figuring out.

How the hell do you injure yourself 4 times as a manager, bad enough that you have to file workers comp.

No wonder they were trying to get rid of her.

Lawsuits in this country are so screwed up.

$8M for getting fired at a fast food chain? Yeah, people need to have their asses beat for getting us here.
