16. I have another story
I worked for this family-owned business in Fl. for awhile. The boss had a huge temper, he would scream at his wife in front of everyone. Apart from the screaming, he had a tendency to kick and throw things. One day he blew his stack, kicked a box and it hit me in the stomach. I don't think he meant to hit me and I wasn't hurt, so I blew it off. Not too long afterward, I actually did get hurt on the job and was put in the hospital for 3 days. Not only was the work environment uncomfortable and unsafe, but I found out that the jerk didn't have worker's compensation and I was going to be responsible for the $4,000+ bill. After threatening them, they finally paid the bill and I walked.
