“One night while working a Friday by myself overnight I spilled some what I thought was sanitizer water on my foot. But it turned out to be a lot worse — whatever was in the water gave me some of the worst burns and ate away my skin. I came to work the next day as scheduled and was sent to the hospital by Kelly but was told by her from Kerri that wouldn’t be able to apply for workman’s comp due to the fact I smoked. When I came back to work I was told I needed to sign a form saying I wouldn’t hold IHOP accountable for the injury. At first I didn’t want to sign it but, once again, I was threatened with my job if I didn’t sign. Me being a felon makes it super hard for me to find any decent job so I signed the paper. I needed the job to pay for child support and take care of my family.”
