r/office | I can't believe this happened. I got Injured at Work and got a $40K Raise.

Описание: r/office. Nobody expects good news after a workplace injury.
Usually it means stress, medical bills, and a boss who makes you feel guilty for being hurt.

But this didn’t go that way.

After getting injured at work, this man was moved to a different role on light duties while recovering.
He learned the job quickly, impressed everyone around him, and before he knew it, the company decided to keep him there permanently.

Because it was a government job, the transfer had to be approved from higher up.
No advertising the role.
No interviews.
Just a quiet decision.

And it came with a $40,000 annual pay raise.

After years of financial stress and life piling on, he finally caught a break.
He found a workplace where he can be himself, where people actually get along, and where he earns more than he ever thought possible.

His wife is less stressed.
His life is better.
And he still can’t believe it happened.

Sometimes the worst moment in your life turns into the best one.
And sometimes all it takes is someone saying, “You’re actually really good at this.”
