Default Injurys at work...

So last week one of my co workers broke her ankle and had to have surgery to fix it. she will be out for at least 8 weeks (did not happen at work)

to day my GM was opening the restaurant and was taken to the hospital with chest pain...

Is this a bit of bad luck of should i be worried. Mind you i am the only manager left now. Am I next or am I just going to be working open to close for the next couple of weeks? I am not bitching i just wanted to share because it is just a bit weird to me.

Injuries at work are the same as a bunch of people either quitting or getting fired...and all of it seems to happen in three's.

All mean more work and overtime for you, a possible promotion, and/or a chance to show you are capable of handling a higher position.

So, be careful nothing happens to you and show them what you can do!
