By on April 7, 2012 in Case manager (follies), Fun, Insurance companies

After spending the last couple of days (at least) reading and re-writing shared, heart-wrenching stories from many fellow injured workers, and feeling rather sickened, depressed and -frankly – somewhat impotent- by them all, we thought it time for some fun! However, given the “litigatory” nature of workcover insurances, we have taken the necessary precautions and [...]

By on March 2, 2012 in Case manager (follies), Fun, WorkCover, WorkSafe Vic, WTF

Considering the insensitivity, lack of understanding and respect, ignorance, judgmental chatter, poor support, endless pathetic excuses etc etc etc that Soula – a seriously injured worker- has had from her WorkSafe Agent’s Case Managers, and she has had troves come and go in five years (some gone before they even appear!!!!), she feels she deserves [...]
