Actually the company saves money by having you at work instead of staying home, even if you sit around all day and count people, read books, or just talk to customers etc.
It has something to do with workers comp and how much your employer has to pay.
So saving money is all they're worried about. Also alot of Bosses that get bonuses get a chunk taken out for every person that goes out injured, so there is ALOT of incentive for them to keep you at work.
Well, at least now you get to sit down, maybe bring a Mopar mag with ya LOL.
