Has management ever agreed with you to verify that you were injured on the job?

I’m referring to a specific event(slip & fall, twisted ankle, cut or puncture wound, etc). My experiences they have always controverted it and been adversarial. Just wanted to know if that’s the common theme. I guess they are ordered to take that stance and it takes getting unalived for them to ever be supportive.

Even the location in Michigan (i think?) Where a maintenance died and the fire dept and wife had to force their way in they were adversarial. It came back to give $50,000 but was fought and settled to $20-$30k instead iirc. Palmetto, GA has been adversarial for the fatalities even to decide treatment as they bled out if they knew about it before the corpse stage. Palmetto btw has more fatalities than years of operation.

• Pay shortages: Fixing incorrect pay and missing hours.
• Leave requests: Denying or fighting over standard time off.
• RRECS data accuracy: Disputing incorrect box distances and automated letter counts.
• Door deliveries: Arguing over the actual number of trips made to the door.
• Injury reporting: Getting gaslit on whether an on-the-job injury actually happened.

I always see management doing some form of interrogation, questioning, or putting effort to manipulate something or someone in the P.O that day. That must be how USPS trains them.
