Where I work, everyone lies about their injuries........Because getting hurt can get you fired. I watched a man nearly cut his thumb completely off. He wrapped it in a rag, stuck it in his pocket and went home "sick". Two hours later, he called in and said he had cut his thumb at home..............
Another incident;
A woman was lifting a case off a conveyor when it grabbed her glove and pulled her hand into a pinch point. I had to cut the belt to pull her hand out. All four fingers were obviously broken. They were all bent backwards. She stuck her hand in her pocket and managed to work to the end of her shift working with one hand. Called in the next morning and told them she had caught it in a car door.
It's a damn shame people have to resort to this sort of thing, but we do. Companies stopped cutting people slack for getting hurt about 20 years ago. At least that's what I've seen from my experience.

I had no idea things had gotten that bad.
This sounds like something out of the 19th century.
