What angers me is that FRITO-LAY is paying these stalkers more than it would take to do the right thing and help this great employee back to his feet. God help these people and so many others like them, in Jesus name. Amen
You would think that with all of his awards and things, they would be invested in helping him get back on his feet instead of pushing him out to hire someone else who may or may not even care about the job.
Because we know the whole story from an 8 minute video? That’s why we have a legal system. Who wouldn’t of taken this mans case pro bono until a settlement is reached?
So do I I hope that company goes under is never able to reopen it doors . I hope this family get justice and compensation for al this happening to them .
Okay so he got electrocuted, left in an ambulance, and his company didn’t automatically have him out on workmans Comp? Wtf. These big companies are horrible.
I started a job as a waitress. In the door way to the kitchen someone spilled 5 gallons of salad dressing. They rinsed off the mat at the entrance and put it back. We were real busy and as I went through the door I slipped on the mat. Just a week before I had to fight to get on the books, needed pay stubs to prove employment for renting a place. Thank goodness I did because if not I wouldn't have any protection on the job. They kept telling me go to any doctor and they would pay the bill. Dr after Dr refused and in glad. Finally one said this should be under workman's comp. I was clueless. Took months and months surgery 2 times on knee . Neck injury, back , and both knees. Same thing, go to a bunch of their Drs. Most wanted to be paid upfront, neurologist, orthopedic, physical therapy. finally someone told me to get a lawyer. They would follow me takin😢g pic and crap. It was freaking crazy being followed. It took years but did sue them. It's now 23 years later and still suffer from pain. It also affected my kids life, couldn't work as a waitress, couldn't sit for any length of time or stand long. Still that way. It pretty much sucked the life out of me. My kids suffered financially and other way because I couldn't move a lot. I'm saying a little prayer for you Sir. I understand and am so sorry that this happened to you. Just remember that your wife and kids will love you no matter what 💕💖 Now go sue the crap out of them! If you need reasons to do it, look up the CEO pay!
When he broke down about having to take money from his children I just started BAWLING. You don’t want to believe these companies can be THIS evil, but apparently they can.
This is why I am a progressive because this happened to me too. We need to end Corporate Personhood, and everyone should have medical care. Your insurance being tied to your ability to work is unacceptable. Then if you get injured at work, get sick, lose your job because of a pandemic, you now have no insurance. 99% of companies do not obey FMLA, or The Americans With Disabilities Act. I am 100% disabled after 30 years of employment, it took 7 years to get the feds to give me my Social Security benefits and then still they wouldnt retroactively give me my money they owed me, because I paid into the insurance for 30 years. Instead of 7 years of back pay they said I could only get 1 year or else I would have to appeal and start the whole process over again only after 7 years of waiting I had become homeless. I am married and we had children but we had used up life savings, we had used up our credit to try and survive. The system only supports the rich and extremely rich. Anyone who is just barely making it, the system crushes.
@@peanutbutterdragon4105 I’m so sorry brother!! It sounds almost identical to the story I would write if I spelled it out on paper Most people have no clue what you and I try and tell them but this man is on the exact same road as I am. I was an Air Force Veteran, spent ten years helping defend this country and spent another ten years with one of the biggest companies in the country and busted my ass to move from the bottom job to the top and when I got hurt, they washed their hands if me and hollered Next!! I was denied needed surgeries god years. Took nine years to get approved for disability and I’m left with nothing!! At the end of next week, I will be homeless and I just recently had my 14th surgery and am in no position to move right now. I was denied all back pay unless I appealed their decision but I was tired of the fight !! They break you mentally so you won’t appeal. Our stories are so similar that it’s creepy to read yours!! It brings back so many bad memories!!
Think how much money these companies would save, and good will they would garner, if they fired all those high-profile lawyers, and paid for those who actually get hurt on the job!! I know there are nightmare stories of people ripping off workers comp and other disability insurances, but how hard can it be to check with drs to see if someone is actually injured? How can they work these people into the ground and when they're injured, because of a work accident, they're thrown to the curb! I don't know how they can sleep at night! May they become so racked with guilt, for the way they've treated devoted employees, they can't sleep or enjoy anything, until they fix this and ask for forgiveness!
@@Truelyblue333 because the media is pumping us with bullshit stories about how Trump will kill democracy, instead of talking about real issues across our country.
This guy is literally the golden boy of the “all it takes is hard work” mindset - veteran, family man, hard working, long-term employee, etc - and yet he still got fucked by the system. Goes to show that working hard to show your boss you’re a good worker makes no difference to them because at the end of the day you’re still just another money-producing number
That's why I don't put my full 100% anymore and I'm 23. I started working at 13. I realized fast that these big companies DO NOT CARE. So I stopped giving my 100% and by that I mean till I can't no more. Now I as soon as I'm slightly inconvenienced I raised awareness and make sure everyone top to bottom knows and HR is the first I talk to. I get every conversation documented and copies on top of copies of it.
I learned that the hard way. When I got hired I wanted my hard work to speak for me but I did all that extra work thinking it would pay off in the long run. Boy was I dumb!! Got paid the same as the lazy ones that hide in the restroom on the phone all night
It’s monopolized as well further entrenching and compounding the issues. They went by multiple hospitals so what if he would of passed on the way because of that? This is the same mentality as late 1800s company towns and general stores. Our nation is corrupted on every fundamental level and ladder of the rung and you can’t convince me otherwise. Edit: rung of the ladder.
Fun fact: getting healthcare bundled with a job was a way for employers to compete for employees originally, but like everything capitalism touches, it just ruined it.
Bingo! The American healthcare system is a complete scam. However our politicians are completely bought and owned by insurance companies. Its why we can't have universal healthcare here. If we did, we would be more empowered to look elsewhere for work.
TY for supporting that Sweet Man & Fam... Though I don't personally think people who are brave enough to tell a horrific personal story often lie? I'm sure a bunch of haters will assert it eventually. I'm really sorry that your working there was also horrible. 💔🫂💗
This is why I'll never give my life, all my time, energy, etc to a corporation that only sees productivity numbers and not a person! Where's the humanity!?
*Frito Lay could easily give this man a million dollars to help him get back on his feet. I hope those greedy bastards lose in court and have to pay this man even more.*
@@kidfoolyjay They should sue for $150 million. Not a mere “half million.” After this level of harassment for a company to go out of their way to prevent you from making a living or be compensated for injury because of their facilities faulty electrical system because someone either cut corners building it and/or it wasn’t properly maintained, to even stalking and filming your at your own home so they can try to build a case against you after they went out of their way to not help him; all of this being done by a a major company, I don’t understand your logic of trying to minimize what they went through. Especially since hospital bills and surgeries can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s almost as if you want them to have nothing and just break even. Weird… 🤔
Everyone saying "wow they just lost a loyal customer" and "I'll never buy their products again" .....keep that same energy because every and I mean every large company that runs a factory treats their ppl like this.
Yeah fr. Honestly someone has to do it. But you cant build a secure job in that environment because no matter how valued you think you are it's a job with a small skill gap.
Ya it sucks. I worked for a roll-off dumpster manufacturer and i got my fingers smashed by their faulty press and they didn't even call me an ambulance. They had the sales rep drive me to a walk-in clinic for a drug test with my hand taped to a flattened gauze box to act as a splint. I lost 2 fingers because i didnt get immediate medical attention
So many easier jobs that are just as easy to get that pay way more, this dude cares way to much about his work ethic and not enough about his actual success.. I mean imagine being so brainwashed into thinking following the rules is the most important thing that you shed tears over calling in one day.
My husband does whatever his job asks because he doesn't want to be put in a location that's farther from home and in a bad neighborhood and given a horrible schedule, which is what would happen. I feel like I live alone most of the time.
@@IceLynne I notice growing up most time my friends and I see are dad's on Fridays and weekends , they was always the last to come home sometimes before bed and only spend the few hrs of night with them felt like this has been going on for alot years def ppl who work 9-5/5-9

When he broke down when he said he had to take from his kids piggy bank broke my heart.... i hope dude gets better and wins Millions for him and his kids
My hubby was crushed between a forklift and a big plastic Fish Tote in 2017 ... the morning afterwards he had no feelings in his legs, below the knees... from living the good life to almost paralyzed, we had to fight for workman's comp, they weren't paying fairly. I so feel their pain. They still hold all the cards
Same thing happened to my mom at cintas the uniform company she needed a surgery in her neck caused by the companys sops they refused to hire her back or give her short term or long term disability
Im with you on this... I'm getting better about reading labels and brands these days but this is my reminder. We can help this family fight, every little bit helps
He can heal up okay from it. He will have limited motion. I know a few people who have had it done. I hope the best for him. It doesn't help the medical field is predatory as well.
True, some miserable hateful judgmental creep in Pepsi/frito lay or whatever really tried sabotaging this young man. Smh too many empty shells running the show everywhere
It sucks that you have to go through that but you could be the best employee in the world. Once you stop making them money no matter where it is who you are, you're expendable.
If life as he knew it sucked before this drama, His life never being the same might turn out to be a good thing. Better ask 'eem, he might buy you a drink.
I literally worked there for three years, and what this guy is experiencing so many other people have gone through. Frito-Lay doesn’t care about you. You are replaceable.
I was planning on applying for Fritos lay. I had watched this long ago but forgotten where it was. But after watching this again and reading your comment, I can't work with this. I have kids on my own
As a retired Army veteran this hurts me deep to hear what his employer has and is still doing! I just threw my unopened bag of Fritos away and DEFINITELY will never buy any of their products again!
As an former employee of a MAJOR CLAIMS COMPANY, I can write, that they are telling the truth. While doing intake and processing claims for incidents like workers being injured, it is typically protocol for an injured employee to be directed to an hospital or urgent care that is contracted with the company. Also, I have seen so many disgusting, emotionless internal emails from companies like this, where they either don't care about the employee or the incident or make tasteless jokes! I have seen where claims are being passed around like a shell game. Funneled from one insurance company to another and then another and another. Its a mess.
@@gelf6303 even if they have the courage to stand up for anything you think they stand a chance against a company that is subsidized by the government and has lobbyists in DC to help them kill competition and get bigger subsidizes they dont care they are invincible if things get bad were there factory is they can move to another city who is willing to pay for there new factory to be built and not have to worry about the workers standing up for themselves they dont have to worry about anything this is just another person they will steam roll and sweap under the rug they're just trying to stop him from suing cause they feel like it might work or it has worked before
This is insane, they scrapped him like trash. Jobs really don't care about the holidays and things like that, but ignoring that severe of an injury is downright negligent, irresponsible, and disgusting
Even if he was not a veteran...he is a man, a hardworking man, a family man...and this is how he was treated. But hey, this is how Capitalism treats regular people. 🤷🏿♀️
So, pay private companies THOUSANDS to stalk these people, but REFUSE to pay for him to go to the doctor or short term disability so his family can eat? I can't buy anything else from them!
@Mario A orona I don't eat chips or drink sodas. I only drink water, milk, and once every now and then a juice It's really easy not to consume these products If you never really had them growing up. We couldn't afford them back then so as I was growing up I didn't have a desire to consume junk food so I don't eat any junk food.
@LJ54 Workers comp covers salary, etc, when you get injured. This is waaaay beyond, "I can't work". This is, "I'm physically injured forever and you need to compensate me for that". @Chanel Lynh, the mere fact that they're fighting this means that it happens so often that if they paid out every time, it would actually cause a serious dent in their balance sheets, so they'd rather pay money to fight it.
@Dominque Vinson taking a knee was a stance from deep state to control a narrative. And this story has absolutely nothing to do with racism so get over your f'ing self.
@Dominque Vinson This had nothing to do with racism. You even saying that says you're part of the actual problem with america. Always have to bring a race card out instead of realizing we all bleed the same. Leave it to ignorant folks like you lil fella.
Damn when he broke down admitting he had to open his kids piggy bank……I felt that pain. That got me, man. I shed tears for a complete stranger in that moment. I hope this family can find the peace they truly deserve 🙏🏻 god bless
That’s why we AMERICANS have no “company loyalty ” anymore. The game has changed and the young talented workers are job shopping for better pay, benefits, etc…. Your strong brother. Keep your head up!
The company I'm at is the first company I've worked for in excess of 2 years. I have received better offers, yet I stay because this company is a decent one. The owner is one of my best friends. I know his wife, his kids, and he knows my family. I'm not what I'd call fairly compensated since I've had more lucrative offers, but this company is small (yet growing exponentially to the point I've been asked to do less marketing because we need to build a new warehouse to keep up with demand). I think I'll stick around.
@@ClarkBent68 depends on what "Better" means. You work less, get paid more, but everything is more expensive. A salary where you live in a 2br flat is own a 3-4br home here. The biggest reason I'm not moving from the country is gun laws. I lived in the UK for a little less than a year. I've visited the Czech Republic, Belgium and Germany on business. I had a blast. But I can't imagine not being able to own a firearm to protect myself and family from kitchen knife bandits like are everywhere in Western Europe.
The navy often supplies vets with free Frito lays products. Also do you mean buy directly from Frito lays, or you will never buy Frito lays products ever again from any vendor/venue?
Same I’m kind of stone wall to Emotions I don’t want to feel them and I try not let it get to me but when I saw this I wanted to cry. I’m already going through so much too and I’m pain every day so I understand. I worked got hurt I got injured and have medical problems but I get up and those I did everything for turn their backs in minuets. I can’t help you or is it they just don’t want too
Yeah I broke down in tears the moment his face crumbled… They deserve all the help in the world. This also highlights how messed up healthcare in America is. But what a shit company. Scary to think PepsiCo owns so much and is so powerful. Now I see who they really are.
Lyn Smith: This is terrible, you know, there are people who don't want to Go back to Work and rather live off of Social Services, they don't See the purpose of enslaving themselves just to be treated like less than Garbage
This is horrible. How sick and disgusting is this!! This is America!! This man should not be going through this and family. I hope he gets a big check. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family
There are a lot of different companies that make pop and chips. I don’t think Pepsi and Fritos sound so good anymore. Maybe it’s time to buy from their competitors.
This very thing happened to my sister when she BROKE HER BACK in a classroom full of kindergartners. They stopped paying, survived her home all the time, even had a doctor tell her to quit making a fuss bc there was nothing wrong with her. She is permanently disabled and all she was given was missed wages. No care, no future care, nothing!!! Do not ever think you’re gonna get any care from workers comp
Workman's comp is similar the program survivor. My neck & lower back injuries were inoperable. I had a heart attack when a combative patient in surgery snapped my right dominant hand back to my forearm. The hospital insurance denied paying the $5,000 for my heart tests in the ER. They did pay for the wrist surgery 4 months later when my wrist bones didn't go back together. I did finally get my SSDI after 1 appeal and 4 years later.
i literally can not believe this a billion dollar company can’t compensate an employee who got injured at the work place but can hire a team to surveil him so disgusting. we’re behind you brandon and i won’t be buying from pepsi or lay again.
I also worked for them in the southeast got injured and they did the same exact thing. They will pay x amount to not have to pay for injuries other than the workers compensation that pays the employee during injury. Had surgery, kept going to doctors and in the end they toss the employees out like nothing. Bunch of rich bully snobs that are the big wigs.
I worked for Blue Cross. I had a seizure disorder and they did everything they could to get rid of me because of my seizures. Won two court cases against them to get my job back. They forced me to take disability. I later found out I was being watched regularly so they could quit paying me the 45.00 a month I received. All the companies are like that now! Prayers for your family.
@@sourdiesel681 , 45$ per month. I received a decent amount at first but they dwindled it down to nothing then later tried to make me pay back what they had given me.. cost them more to have someone watch me than what they paid me. Idiots.
45.00 !? Like forty-five dollars a month? Maybe you meant 450.00? Four hundred fifty ? Or 4 thousand five hundred? Either way I would feel uncomfortable with people watching me. I am on disability. If anyone watched me they might see me go out two or three times a month travelling via special transit for disabled. I use a walking stick due to severe osteoarthritis. I carry a collapsible stool with me since with covid they removed so many seating areas. Anyway I don’t receive a whole lot. Have to be 65 first. But 45/ month is peanuts. I think it was a mistype. All best 👍✌️
@@nitachiquita9988 no I mean 45.00 a month. They paid me more initially but with the stipulation I had to apply for SSI continually. Once I got SSI they dropped their payment to me to 45.00 $ a month. Blue Cross of Louisiana, where I worked were good to me and tried to help. It was The national Blue Cross Association that harassed me the entire time. When I agreed to take disability retirement Blue Cross of Louisiana made sure I kept my insurance thru them for life. That has helped me more than any money I received considering without insurance my meds would cost me over 2500 dollars a month.
@@robertajones6311 oh my. Ok so you are not forced to live on 45/month as that would be impossible. Here in Canada my disability is not great but I did not work all my adult years as I was in school and other situations allowed me to not have to work but now I have to wait until I am 65 to increase my monthly income. Thank God I have some savings and RRSP’s but still what a drastic change. I own my home so I do not qualify for any social assistance. They expect you to sell everything you own except for bare essentials before they will hell you. It was a huge change for me from reasonably good pay every month to zero. Ate through a lot of savings. But I appealed and won my case so that was integral in making it. Yes I understand what you must be going through. Sure not how I planned my golden years. 2 and a half years and I’m officially a senior citizen. Can hardly wait!!!!! All best to you sister✌️Namaste
big companies know how to play though. they have doctors and lawyers lined up for them to work for them. they'll drag this on and on until he gives up. he even mentioned in the video that they pulled this stunt when he was still insured until it expired and he had to pay on his own. he really has no chance. it's so sad to see this happening.

His first move after being released from the clinic was to get a lawyer. Then, see another doctor of his own to produce medical records to give to his lawyer to file a lawsuit against his company. Don't ever feel scared or bad to sue your own job for almost being killed.
a wicked generation will asks for signs but the only sign I will give them is the sign of Jonah. I'll just explain the story to you. Jonah was a prophet that liked to do his own thing, Jonah was the type of person that God would tell him go do this and Jonah did his own thing. So Jonah one day was told to deliver a message to a certain area where people were and tell them to repent but Jonah didn't do it, he went on a boat with some other men, God sent a storm and Jonah had upset God and told the other men, the other men threw him over the boat, Jonah was gonna drown. But God sent a whale that kept Jonah safe. I don't remember Jonahs exact words but he told God please let me out, forgive me I will deliver the message. And the whale spit him out after this. And recently a man was in the mouth of a whale and got spit out. Whales eat there food once they have there food in there mouth but this time it did not. ruclips.net/video/5uo2xD5En1M/видео.html

When people work their ass off for these corporations you are an asset but when you get hurt on the job you become a liability and they simply don't give a fuck about you just the work you do. Only thing that matters to the corporations is their money not human life. That's why you have to treat it like a business decision they are not your family
My heart just broke watching them break down crying saying that they had to take money from their kids savings to survive. No parent wants to be driven to do that, it almost really feels like your stealing a future away from them...heartbreaking
This broke me down. I stopped the video just after they said that. I just cannot believe the lack of care. The pain I just witnessed this man express is incomprehensible. No one should EVER have to do that from the result of an injury that happened at a workplace due to THEIR negligence. I absolutely hate seeing videos like this and I wasn’t even looking, it was just recommended. But thank the algorithm because I hope more people see this and support this gentleman and his family.
The company I used to work for, Northrop Grumman, had a machinist who ended up having throat cancer due to working on titanium wicks for evaporators. He left, had surgery, and came back. First thing the company had him do? Work on the same wicks because “he knew how to do the work”. He didn’t want to risk worse effects after having cancer so he left
I have a sister-in-law in California who ruined her back working for the school district. She worked as a custodian.

She was then fired for this after 25yrs of service, and parents begging her to continue on with their children in secondary schools. Teachers union?? MIA
@@amg3790 I disagree. She’s emotionally drained and stressed. She obviously loves her husband and children. You can’t fault her for what you perceive as “pathetic”.
We've given them way too much power. And it's so sad to see people who are not wealthy defend them at the expense of the workers. We need more class solidarity, way too many people thinking they're a part of the "haves" group when those people will never be letting them sit at their table.
Or at least forced to give their employees normal shifts, health benefits, safe working environments and all the things they refused to give to Brandon and other former employees before him

@@caseyjones4358 The things your talking about sound like OSHA violations. I’ve stopped eating Doritos even though I used to love them.

This man is worth way more than this job! And see him crying over taking out money out of his kids piggy bank, I felt on a personal level. I’m hoping he gets the justice he deserves!
The fact that the Frito-Lay company didn't even take Brandon to a hospital nearby, but to one that was 45 min. away, really sickens my stomach. It sounded as if they wanted him to die quickly as possible or they wanted that hospital, that they had connections with, to cover up their shady behavior among their executive leaders and make him pay the bill.
Sucks cuz he sounded like he was very dedicated to his job... That’s not how you treat employees. Hopefully he can be back to his normal self one day soon.
He's lucky to be alive, getting electrocuted ain't no joke. His first mistake was being over dedicated. Never be dedicate to working for others, do what's required only, and be dedicated to your family/health.
Never drink Pepsi-Cola total swill crap drink everybody let's stop buying there product then they will be out of a job frito lay sucks I will never buy there crap ever again . Listen brother if you see this my heart goes out to you I pray God will rescue you and your beautiful family God bless you for your service to this country . I think things are going to change for you now all Good , someone with a lot of money is going to step forward to rescue ya'll , and frito lays days are numbered .
I agree. As far as him saying that him and his family is being stalked, well....that part is common. Especially for an injury like this. This man could walk away with enough to never have to work again if he decides to sue , especially if it is determined it was not due to any fault or mistake of his own...🤷🏾 It may not necessarily be the employer but its usually the insurance company they work with. We all know getting insurance companies to make a payment is like waiting for hell to freeze over.
Until this situation is resolved equitably Frito-Lay is BANNED from our house. Pepsi products, too. I am appalled at the utter lack of HR leadership in these companies. Every rule of Workers Comp was broken, stepped on and thrown in the garbage. Maybe they think they're too big to follow the rules. I really hope we consumers can teach them a lesson.
This is the type of stuff that needs to go viral. This is a company that needs to be boycotted. This is how you treat a loyal employee? Most of all a vet?
This happened to me when I worked for Walmart, welcome to the world of working for the worlds richest people, they will stomp on the poorest people too save a penny, I lost my home, I lost almost everything I had. But I had my family and they could never take that away from me. Thank you for your service and sir you deserve the best in life, best wishes for you and your family
I live in a VERY small town in Wisconsin, there are no stores except one Walmart in a 90 mile radius. I am 30, I have a “disorderly conduct” charge from 2012. They refused to hire me, after I went through the entire hiring process. They made me jump through hoops and then on e the day of my start, said my background check was flagged, wouldn’t give me detail, and said I wouldn’t be working. I needed work so so bad. It was such a low blow considering Walmart has employees there that literally have theft charges, they are suppose to be an equal opportunity employer. I never get in trouble, but I can’t get a job at Walmart
@@K119_ I used to catch the same guy stealing cases of beer at the store where I worked and he is now working there so I know exactly what you mean, it’s so hard to get ahead and take care of your family these days.. the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Good luck to you.

well that is a form of stalking and harassment. Threatening behavior on the part of the company to do that. They deserve full justice of the law on them. You don't hire people, see them injured, and then go send out gang members to stalk the injured employee and his family.
Right.. this is pissing me off. He sounds to be a hard worker. And this company failed him. He got hurt at work and they were doing everything ok their power not to compensate him.

@@Elegant_Sausage My exact sentiments💯💯 Idk why ppl tend to think raising kids is a cakewalk...it's literally the HARDEST job on the planet that doesn't even come with any manuals or employee handbooks, no awards or raises are given to us..and it takes a woman to bring life here...what if she WASN'T there on her job...and he had to deal with a shitty company AND come home and raise them?? Cook, clean up after kids, deal with school stuff, etc...he wouldn't have been able to work those hours, 26 days straight without her presence in his life...they are both blessed to have eachother, real talk. And if it were me, I wouldn't have been fond of my husband working like that either, only if he was investing that time in HIS OWN business...not to make a billion dollar corporation even richer..smh. It was a waste of his time, energy and health working there and it almost drove them apart...no amount of money is worth my family splitting up, I told my husband that shit. I won't allow him to kill himself or risk his life just to pay our bills or make another mf rich, hell nah. Break your back investing in your own business. So tragic what they're dealing with and I'm wishing the absolute best for them frfr.
Absolutely despicable. Frito-Lay’s could have paid for every single medical expense and given him paid months off and not been affected at all financially, but instead chose to force this man to take his children’s coins. Disgusting.
Exactly. Its just a write off for them, they just don't want to claim the responsibility to keep the good numbers up. As long as everything looks good on paper, everything is good in the company.🙄
Worse, they instead paid for the menagerie of litigation and private investigators to try to get out of logging a workplace injury due to negligence. Who wants to also bet it was down to lowest bidder supply of the faulty components and the likely cost of retrofitting every facility that used a potential electrocution button that if fixed company wide would impact a desk jockey's bonuses?
@@andreamahogany4252 you’re a clown. The whole point of this story is that Frito Lay is looking for any way to undermine his story. *Go back to school.*
I pray that Him and his family get EVERY SINGLE NICKLE PENNY AND DIME AND MORE!!! Sad that people are treated this way by companies that claim to be family oriented...
Big Corporations like the devil's nectar - Pepsi Cola, and their underling Frito Lay, - are in truth, psychopathic entities. They do not care for anything but the CEOs bottom line and bonus perks. Poor Brandon and people like him are just slaves. That is all. Slaves. This is why I no longer buy ANY soda, ANY Pepsi or Coke products, NO Frito Lay - NOTHING!!! I will double down now especially because of what they did to Brandon and his sweet family. May God bring Pepsi to nothing, bankrupt them to nothing, with the CEOs having empty bank accounts and being physically disabled, themselves, so they will know how it feels to be their victim, Brandon, whom they should have cherished and helped. God is not mocked and has always warned people against abusing or taking advantage of others. Those that don't care will have to answer to God, the Final Judge, when it is most inconvenient for them. Pepsi is EVIL. Period. End of discussion. My heart and thoughts and prayers go to Brandon Ingram and his precious family who deserve so much better. I hope they win every single penny and more that they deserve. Pepsi had absolutely NO right to spy on them or breach their privacy. Such EVIL - EVIL PSYCHOPATHS!!!
@Stop watching CNN ! Fake News ! But it does happen to other groups too; I'm not black and I went through something similar. I don't think this was discrimination, but I can definitely empathize with this man; this kind of thing definitely does happen, and I believe he did go through this.
Not at all.surprised. is there a lawyer there where you live that is familiar with Employment law? This is a cut and dried workmens comp case. They will try to wear you down. Dont let them. I just got tears in my eyes watching you guys tell your story. Also try not to get addicted to pain killers even though Im sure you need them.
No one will boycott them. I came to the realization that people only care about themselves and money. Even family who have the same blood in their bodies do each other wrong. I pray Jesus comes soon 🙏. Have a great and safe day.
It's not just Frito Lay it's the Pepsi Corporation. They have many many products under that umbrella. If you're going to boycott, you have to boycott everything they sell or you're pissing in the wind. You can look it up online to see what their products are.
@@cindymcintosh9949 You are absolutely right. I've had my battle with them. In order to get them to settle I had to sign papers that I would not go for more medical help in the future. I had to sign in order to get back to work and start paying my bills. They make you desperate then when you are, they kick you to the curb.
This is horrific. Frito Lay disgusts me. Praying for Brandon and his family. I hope he will heal and be able to play with his children like before he got injured. Such a beautiful family. This horrible treatment just breaks my heart.Sending healing vibes to Brandon.💜🌻
@@2016-m1h spare me. This story has been out for a month and frito lay has yet to respond. THAT'S how! And I'm a navy veteran and don't personally gaf what their side is.

So the wife is worried her husband is cheating because he’s gone so much well omg just look at hours on pay stub. Their story is full of holes and your kind of a fool to just believing w/o hearing a defense.
This needs more views. They did him super dirty. The fact that he's fought for our country alone, and made it back, only to be brought down by a damn chip company. Fuck Frito-Lay.
You hit the nail on the head…someone needs to look into “how” Frito Lay handles work place injuries bc I am hear to tell you THIS is not only how you don’t handle it but it should be a crime
The fact that he’s still in a lawsuit is simply disgusting I don’t understand why they just wouldn’t settle this out of court period I’m sure they can spare a few million his life is gone so sad greedy ass corporations
Mitch McConnell who said that we need to get back to work okay that sounds good except for one thing we still got a f****** pandemic and I'm the kind of person I don't want to be close to nobody for 8 hours he said trust the science let me think about that for a second oh yeah trust the government that experiment on black people and didn't do anything to help them trust the government they used to feed uranium pellets to children in their cereal
This is so messed up. I went to high school with Brandon and he was always laughing and energetic. Praying for you and your family! Stay strong and don’t give up 🙏🏽
Gross. Sick of people saying people don’t want to work. Working for peanuts with little to no raises isn’t appealing to anyone. Share the wealth, give workers some share of the value they add.
As soon as they say the person in this story was in the Military, I immediately began to doubt the entire story. Can't trust anything connected to the Government, especially the Military.
Well because just like the scumbags at Frito lay there are scumbags out there everywhere.They will sue a company saying they’re unable to work and these people they send out catch them actually being dishonest.
Dani Mart Why would past military experience automatically make a person dishonest in your view? What’s the correlation and relevancy you’re relying on to arrive at your conclusion regarding someone’s truthfulness? And is it only the US military you’re referencing?
I wish I’d heard this story back when it happened! I won’t be buying anymore frito-lay products. They need to treat their workers SO much better. This is ridiculous.
@@josephhodges9819 you saying this man and his wife is lying even though there showing proof? You lack empathy and that's concerning.

Goes to show, no matter how good, loyal, trustworthy an employee is, greedy corporations will just discard people like trash as soon as they get ill or injured, instead of helping them !
This whole thing is a damn crime. Especially the employer tied health insurance. They really tried to hurt and harass this man as much as they could. It's disgusting how they treated him. :(
It's worse than most people understand. Do you know the one OTHER person who can see your medical records according to HIPAA law? Whoever is paying the bill. Seriously.
And they wonder why people don't want to work for crappy companies that can't even treat people who work for them right. And they make billions a year and pay workers pennies. Time to hit them wear it hurts there bank account Boycott.
Exactly. From large corporations to small companies, it's all the same shit everywhere...I have been burned over and over and over again with my past jobs..Now at almost 50 years old I have stopped the madness. I am working my ass off day after day to do my own thing for my own success in doing what IIIII Love to do...It's scary and hard but I will not live the last half of my life being treated like a piece of shit, busting my ass for someone else who is making big bucks off of my work..All the while I am scraping to pay my bills...fuck that..I am ready to be homeless again if that's what it takes....I will NOT go back...We all need to start waking up to this....
It happens everyday. Now there is "disability insurance" to supplement health and life insurance. I feel bad for him and pray he gets justice. A very similar situation happened to me by Jimmy Johns and Allstate.
Corporations have been doing this for years. They realized it was cheaper to have in house lawyers to drag things on and on, hoping the person gives up or dies. It's heinous. God bless this family, and I pray they get everything they need and more.
This story is truly heartbreaking a young man that has her been providing for his family has a serious injury at work and it's going through so much pain physically and mentally I really pray the he gets the compensation that is due. And that we stand against companies like this.
Happened to me, instead of having EMS meet me to take me to a hospital at the end of the line, I had to ride in a taxi 30 miles back to another terminal point, where I was met by a manager, and was taken to a hospital 20 minutes away. Then to add insult to injury, they drug tested me after knowing full well I had two shots of morphine in my system and terminated me anyways once the results came back, and I lost my health insurance several days after the incident. I had already retained an attorney out of the frustrations I was already dealing with, he got the insurance restored, and reinstated. Gotta keep up on things because they’ll try and screw you every which way.
I feel like they made a contact with a hospital THAT far away on purpose. Companies that own factories are infamous for this kind of behavior and have been for centuries.
@@BashslashSlayerTv you can obtain a healthy bill by providing medical care at subsidized rates. Aka cheaper insurance. No need to make deals with hospitals in our system, they never have. But this company did, and it was for some agreement under the table. Absolute bull shi+.
I used to work at a Target, and the Pepsi/Frito vendors that would come in to stock the shelves were some of the sweetest, most overworked people I have ever met. Their employment seemed like a hostage situation

Agreed...I don't think I can consume Frito-Lay products after this story. I know that many/most companies do shady shit, but knowing about this particular story I don't feel like I can in good conscience support these sociopaths.
@@soullessness it is but if you research enough you can interact with them as little as possible that's why it's important to look at what they own in partnership with
This is horrendous. I will never support Frito/lay or Pepsi in the form of future purchases because of this. Boycott all corporations who put profits over people, vote with your dollars.
What angers me is that FRITO-LAY is paying these stalkers more than it would take to do the right thing and help this great employee back to his feet. God help these people and so many others like them, in Jesus name. Amen
Somebody has to be made an example. That cost major money! What I want to know is, what kind of people take on these kind of jobs
You would think that with all of his awards and things, they would be invested in helping him get back on his feet instead of pushing him out to hire someone else who may or may not even care about the job.
That’s the racket !!!
The step to fixing these problems is not appealing to nonexistent supernatural helpers like God.
Amen 🙏
Screw this company! This man deserves better. We need change Frito-Lay..

I started a job as a waitress. In the door way to the kitchen someone spilled 5 gallons of salad dressing. They rinsed off the mat at the entrance and put it back. We were real busy and as I went through the door I slipped on the mat. Just a week before I had to fight to get on the books, needed pay stubs to prove employment for renting a place. Thank goodness I did because if not I wouldn't have any protection on the job. They kept telling me go to any doctor and they would pay the bill. Dr after Dr refused and in glad. Finally one said this should be under workman's comp. I was clueless. Took months and months surgery 2 times on knee . Neck injury, back , and both knees. Same thing, go to a bunch of their Drs. Most wanted to be paid upfront, neurologist, orthopedic, physical therapy. finally someone told me to get a lawyer. They would follow me takin😢g pic and crap. It was freaking crazy being followed. It took years but did sue them. It's now 23 years later and still suffer from pain. It also affected my kids life, couldn't work as a waitress, couldn't sit for any length of time or stand long. Still that way. It pretty much sucked the life out of me. My kids suffered financially and other way because I couldn't move a lot. I'm saying a little prayer for you Sir. I understand and am so sorry that this happened to you. Just remember that your wife and kids will love you no matter what 💕💖 Now go sue the crap out of them! If you need reasons to do it, look up the CEO pay!
When he broke down about having to take money from his children I just started BAWLING. You don’t want to believe these companies can be THIS evil, but apparently they can.
This is why I am a progressive because this happened to me too. We need to end Corporate Personhood, and everyone should have medical care. Your insurance being tied to your ability to work is unacceptable. Then if you get injured at work, get sick, lose your job because of a pandemic, you now have no insurance. 99% of companies do not obey FMLA, or The Americans With Disabilities Act. I am 100% disabled after 30 years of employment, it took 7 years to get the feds to give me my Social Security benefits and then still they wouldnt retroactively give me my money they owed me, because I paid into the insurance for 30 years. Instead of 7 years of back pay they said I could only get 1 year or else I would have to appeal and start the whole process over again only after 7 years of waiting I had become homeless. I am married and we had children but we had used up life savings, we had used up our credit to try and survive. The system only supports the rich and extremely rich. Anyone who is just barely making it, the system crushes.
@@peanutbutterdragon4105 I’m so sorry brother!! It sounds almost identical to the story I would write if I spelled it out on paper Most people have no clue what you and I try and tell them but this man is on the exact same road as I am. I was an Air Force Veteran, spent ten years helping defend this country and spent another ten years with one of the biggest companies in the country and busted my ass to move from the bottom job to the top and when I got hurt, they washed their hands if me and hollered Next!! I was denied needed surgeries god years. Took nine years to get approved for disability and I’m left with nothing!! At the end of next week, I will be homeless and I just recently had my 14th surgery and am in no position to move right now. I was denied all back pay unless I appealed their decision but I was tired of the fight !! They break you mentally so you won’t appeal.
Our stories are so similar that it’s creepy to read yours!! It brings back so many bad memories!!
@@1982MCI My Uncle's 1st check came the week he died. That's how long they held out approving his.
Think how much money these companies would save, and good will they would garner, if they fired all those high-profile lawyers, and paid for those who actually get hurt on the job!!
I know there are nightmare stories of people ripping off workers comp and other disability insurances, but how hard can it be to check with drs to see if someone is actually injured?
How can they work these people into the ground and when they're injured, because of a work accident, they're thrown to the curb! I don't know how they can sleep at night! May they become so racked with guilt, for the way they've treated devoted employees, they can't sleep or enjoy anything, until they fix this and ask for forgiveness!

Goes to show that working hard to show your boss you’re a good worker makes no difference to them because at the end of the day you’re still just another money-producing number
That's why I don't put my full 100% anymore and I'm 23. I started working at 13. I realized fast that these big companies DO NOT CARE. So I stopped giving my 100% and by that I mean till I can't no more.

Linking health care to employment is such a weird system that enables predatory stuff like this.
It’s monopolized as well further entrenching and compounding the issues. They went by multiple hospitals so what if he would of passed on the way because of that? This is the same mentality as late 1800s company towns and general stores. Our nation is corrupted on every fundamental level and ladder of the rung and you can’t convince me otherwise.
Edit: rung of the ladder.
Fun fact: getting healthcare bundled with a job was a way for employers to compete for employees originally, but like everything capitalism touches, it just ruined it.
Change weird with dystopian or criminally against humanity otherwise indeed so.
Bingo! The American healthcare system is a complete scam. However our politicians are completely bought and owned by insurance companies. Its why we can't have universal healthcare here. If we did, we would be more empowered to look elsewhere for work.

As an former employee of a MAJOR CLAIMS COMPANY, I can write, that they are telling the truth. While doing intake and processing claims for incidents like workers being injured, it is typically protocol for an injured employee to be directed to an hospital or urgent care that is contracted with the company. Also, I have seen so many disgusting, emotionless internal emails from companies like this, where they either don't care about the employee or the incident or make tasteless jokes! I have seen where claims are being passed around like a shell game. Funneled from one insurance company to another and then another and another. Its a mess.
It would have probably been cheaper to give him the medical care instead of getting sued and hiring a surveillance team
They didn’t want this to set a precedent for similar cases in the future.

This is so sad and what’s even more sad is how many employee’s stories we don’t see.
@LJ54
Workers comp covers salary, etc, when you get injured. This is waaaay beyond, "I can't work". This is, "I'm physically injured forever and you need to compensate me for that".
@Chanel Lynh, the mere fact that they're fighting this means that it happens so often that if they paid out every time, it would actually cause a serious dent in their balance sheets, so they'd rather pay money to fight it.

I know his wife, his kids, and he knows my family. I'm not what I'd call fairly compensated since I've had more lucrative offers, but this company is small (yet growing exponentially to the point I've been asked to do less marketing because we need to build a new warehouse to keep up with demand).

They stopped paying, survived her home all the time, even had a doctor tell her to quit making a fuss bc there was nothing wrong with her.

Workman's comp is similar the program survivor. My neck & lower back injuries were inoperable. I had a heart attack when a combative patient in surgery snapped my right dominant hand back to my forearm. The hospital insurance denied paying the $5,000 for my heart tests in the ER. They did pay for the wrist surgery 4 months later when my wrist bones didn't go back together. I did finally get my SSDI after 1 appeal and 4 years later.

I also worked for them in the southeast got injured and they did the same exact thing.

a wicked generation will asks for signs but the only sign I will give them is the sign of Jonah.

Jonah was a prophet that liked to do his own thing, Jonah was the type of person that God would tell him go do this and Jonah did his own thing.
So Jonah one day was told to deliver a message to a certain area where people were and tell them to repent but Jonah didn't do it, he went on a boat with some other men, God sent a storm and Jonah had upset God and told the other men, the other men threw him over the boat, Jonah was gonna drown.
But God sent a whale that kept Jonah safe.
I don't remember Jonahs exact words but he told God please let me out, forgive me I will deliver the message. And the whale spit him out after this.
And recently a man was in the mouth of a whale and got spit out.
Whales eat there food once they have there food in there mouth but this time it did not.

Three years later. I believe this hits me harder today...never give your all to a company who wont give a QUARTER to you.
I pray that Him and his family get EVERY SINGLE NICKLE PENNY AND DIME AND MORE!!! Sad that people are treated this way by companies that claim to be family oriented...
Big Corporations like the devil's nectar - Pepsi Cola, and their underling Frito Lay, - are in truth, psychopathic entities. They do not care for anything but the CEOs bottom line and bonus perks. Poor Brandon and people like him are just slaves. That is all. Slaves. This is why I no longer buy ANY soda, ANY Pepsi or Coke products, NO Frito Lay - NOTHING!!! I will double down now especially because of what they did to Brandon and his sweet family. May God bring Pepsi to nothing, bankrupt them to nothing, with the CEOs having empty bank accounts and being physically disabled, themselves, so they will know how it feels to be their victim, Brandon, whom they should have cherished and helped. God is not mocked and has always warned people against abusing or taking advantage of others. Those that don't care will have to answer to God, the Final Judge, when it is most inconvenient for them. Pepsi is EVIL. Period. End of discussion. My heart and thoughts and prayers go to Brandon Ingram and his precious family who deserve so much better. I hope they win every single penny and more that they deserve. Pepsi had absolutely NO right to spy on them or breach their privacy. Such EVIL - EVIL PSYCHOPATHS!!!
@Stop watching CNN ! Fake News ! But it does happen to other groups too; I'm not black and I went through something similar. I don't think this was discrimination, but I can definitely empathize with this man; this kind of thing definitely does happen, and I believe he did go through this.
Yes,this happens alot. It happened to my mother. Fuck these people they could care less about you.
@Stop watching CNN ! Fake News ! consider yourself lucky not all get the help they need.
Corporate woke companies remember that
I hope he sues and gets lots of money. We all need to boycott frito's. Praying for whole family.
Not at all.surprised. is there a lawyer there where you live that is familiar with Employment law? This is a cut and dried workmens comp case. They will try to wear you down. Dont let them. I just got tears in my eyes watching you guys tell your story. Also try not to get addicted to pain killers even though Im sure you need them.
No one will boycott them. I came to the realization that people only care about themselves and money. Even family who have the same blood in their bodies do each other wrong. I pray Jesus comes soon 🙏. Have a great and safe day.
Problem is the money wont bring him health back. Disgusting how they treat people.
It's not just Frito Lay it's the Pepsi Corporation. They have many many products under that umbrella. If you're going to boycott, you have to boycott everything they sell or you're pissing in the wind. You can look it up online to see what their products are.
@@cindymcintosh9949 You are absolutely right. I've had my battle with them. In order to get them to settle I had to sign papers that I would not go for more medical help in the future. I had to sign in order to get back to work and start paying my bills. They make you desperate then when you are, they kick you to the curb.
A veteran, someone who has fought for this “company’s reputation “ absolutely ridiculous. I love you brother and you will be okay I promise you that.
This is horrific. Frito Lay disgusts me. Praying for Brandon and his family. I hope he will heal and be able to play with his children like before he got injured. Such a beautiful family. This horrible treatment just breaks my heart.Sending healing vibes to Brandon.💜🌻
This is how they treat a veteran and a dedicated employee. I’m disgusted
I'm sickened
Everyone is disposable 😭
How can you pass judgment without hearing both sides of the story
@@2016-m1h spare me. This story has been out for a month and frito lay has yet to respond. THAT'S how! And I'm a navy veteran and don't personally gaf what their side is. You don't drive to an out of the way hospital to save a buck after an accident and you damn sure don't follow ppl to try to get out of covering their needs. So run along.
@@IjeneYourTravelBae and why would they respond to a RUclips channel prob bending a story to fit their anti big business narrative. They want likes and views and people like you spreading the video. So the wife is worried her husband is cheating because he’s gone so much well omg just look at hours on pay stub. Their story is full of holes and your kind of a fool to just believing w/o hearing a defense.
This needs more views. They did him super dirty. The fact that he's fought for our country alone, and made it back, only to be brought down by a damn chip company. Fuck Frito-Lay.
I'm with you there! I use to like the chips, until I saw this video today. No more!
He’s not the only one
Frito-Lays should be held responsible and be sued for a large sum of money, they should also investigate the companies illegal practices.
You hit the nail on the head…someone needs to look into “how” Frito Lay handles work place injuries bc I am hear to tell you THIS is not only how you don’t handle it but it should be a crime
The fact that he’s still in a lawsuit is simply disgusting I don’t understand why they just wouldn’t settle this out of court period I’m sure they can spare a few million his life is gone so sad greedy ass corporations
Mitch McConnell who said that we need to get back to work okay that sounds good except for one thing we still got a f****** pandemic and I'm the kind of person I don't want to be close to nobody for 8 hours he said trust the science let me think about that for a second oh yeah trust the government that experiment on black people and didn't do anything to help them trust the government they used to feed uranium pellets to children in their cereal
Sadly its not just frito-lays, its any type of factory background.
its not illegal to hire PI’s. its standard practice actually.
I want an update this was 2yrs ago lord i pray blessings over this family i cried 🙏🏿 this hit close to home. 😢
This is so messed up. I went to high school with Brandon and he was always laughing and energetic. Praying for you and your family! Stay strong and don’t give up 🙏🏽
You can pray but you can also help him financially or which good deeds specifically if you meet him and you know he’s a good man
Gross. Sick of people saying people don’t want to work. Working for peanuts with little to no raises isn’t appealing to anyone. Share the wealth, give workers some share of the value they add.
Yeah, unfortunately many business owners and companies try to pay their workers as little as possible to try to maximize their own profits.
Some people feel like they have no other choice. They can’t afford to get into debt
So pay stalkers and not the actual employee? Yup, makes total sense ...
As soon as they say the person in this story was in the Military, I immediately began to doubt the entire story. Can't trust anything connected to the Government, especially the Military.
Well because just like the scumbags at Frito lay there are scumbags out there everywhere.They will sue a company saying they’re unable to work and these people they send out catch them actually being dishonest.
Not saying this gentleman is lying because it does look like Frito lay screwed him over and I hope things get set right for him and his family.
Dani Mart
Why would past military experience automatically make a person dishonest in your view? What’s the correlation and relevancy you’re relying on to arrive at your conclusion regarding someone’s truthfulness? And is it only the US military you’re referencing?
@@danimart3374 how do you doubt the story because he was in the military?? The two have no connection stop searching for a cop out
As somebody who became completely disabled at age 20, healed but became completely physically disabled at 32 again, I feel his pain.
I wish I’d heard this story back when it happened! I won’t be buying anymore frito-lay products. They need to treat their workers SO much better. This is ridiculous.
Has the story been verified? Do you know it is 100% true?
@@josephhodges9819 No, we don’t. Do you have a link to a video, article or statement refuting it?
I agree. I'm done with them too
@@josephhodges9819 you saying this man and his wife is lying even though there showing proof? You lack empathy and that's concerning. I think you should get checked to see if you have a mental issue like being a psychopath or a sociopath. Only people like that make those type of statements. You must work for the company. 😩🤮
@@jaifyre702 Nope I am saying that there are two sides to every story.
Goes to show, no matter how good, loyal, trustworthy an employee is, greedy corporations will just discard people like trash as soon as they get ill or injured, instead of helping them !
This whole thing is a damn crime. Especially the employer tied health insurance. They really tried to hurt and harass this man as much as they could. It's disgusting how they treated him. :(
@ALPO YAOlay off the drugs.
@@rogerramjet6429 lol forreal
It's worse than most people understand. Do you know the one OTHER person who can see your medical records according to HIPAA law? Whoever is paying the bill. Seriously.
I could never look at frito lay the same ever again after watching this
Not just frito lay is like this, nearly every large company/corporation treats employees like this
And they wonder why people don't want to work for crappy companies that can't even treat people who work for them right. And they make billions a year and pay workers pennies. Time to hit them wear it hurts there bank account Boycott.
why do companies do that
@@AnthonyJohnson-rd1rd because they get away with it and money is more important than people...the Republican way!
Exactly. From large corporations to small companies, it's all the same shit everywhere...I have been burned over and over and over again with my past jobs..Now at almost 50 years old I have stopped the madness. I am working my ass off day after day to do my own thing for my own success in doing what IIIII Love to do...It's scary and hard but I will not live the last half of my life being treated like a piece of shit, busting my ass for someone else who is making big bucks off of my work..All the while I am scraping to pay my bills...fuck that..I am ready to be homeless again if that's what it takes....I will NOT go back...We all need to start waking up to this....
It happens everyday. Now there is "disability insurance" to supplement health and life insurance. I feel bad for him and pray he gets justice. A very similar situation happened to me by Jimmy Johns and Allstate.
I almost cried when he started talking about scrapping up the money, and going into his child's piggy bank. Good luck on your journey.
Me too it hurts
I did😥
Me too..
That got me
I did because I understood that on a personal level.
Corporations have been doing this for years. They realized it was cheaper to have in house lawyers to drag things on and on, hoping the person gives up or dies. It's heinous.
God bless this family, and I pray they get everything they need and more.
Their system is to pay the money to them selves, their partners a circle and image.
I’m cryinggggggg. These people deserve so much better.
Let’s boycott frito lay, they will feel the same how his man felt. Heartbroken when they see people don’t buy their products. Let’s do this!!
I agree!!! Are you in Pensacola? I'm there with you...
Yeah, I'm done with them.
This story is truly heartbreaking a young man that has her been providing for his family has a serious injury at work and it's going through so much pain physically and mentally I really pray the he gets the compensation that is due. And that we stand against companies like this.
I hate fritos anyway.
You clearly don’t watch the news cause they are st backlash for weeks now
The hospital "contract" is a truly disgusting policy that too many big companies have
Happened to me, instead of having EMS meet me to take me to a hospital at the end of the line, I had to ride in a taxi 30 miles back to another terminal point, where I was met by a manager, and was taken to a hospital 20 minutes away. Then to add insult to injury, they drug tested me after knowing full well I had two shots of morphine in my system and terminated me anyways once the results came back, and I lost my health insurance several days after the incident.
I had already retained an attorney out of the frustrations I was already dealing with, he got the insurance restored, and reinstated.
Gotta keep up on things because they’ll try and screw you every which way.
I feel like they made a contact with a hospital THAT far away on purpose. Companies that own factories are infamous for this kind of behavior and have been for centuries.
@@kiwi___ do you know why these companies sign contracts like that? Wouldn't they want their workers to be as healthy as quickly as possible?
@@BashslashSlayerTv you can obtain a healthy bill by providing medical care at subsidized rates. Aka cheaper insurance. No need to make deals with hospitals in our system, they never have. But this company did, and it was for some agreement under the table. Absolute bull shi+.
It SHOULD BE *HEALTH OVER PROFITS.*
I’m not aFrito fan no more. Neither will my family and friends when they see this video 👍🏼
All their lard fried garbage is not fit for human consumption.
I used to work at a Target, and the Pepsi/Frito vendors that would come in to stock the shelves were some of the sweetest, most overworked people I have ever met. Their employment seemed like a hostage situation
That is so messed up. This man served our country in the U.S. Navy and a well known company treats a veteran like this? He should own Frito-Lay.
Unfortunately a lot of military personnel including vets and retirees go through this on a daily basis.
@@yaboiiNESs
Sad indeed...
Unfortunately Americans never learn.
The world long since stopped wondering whether its ignorance or hunger which drives you to the forces.
We genuinely pity you...
As if I needed another reason to avoid their toxic products. Their chips are LOADED with high amounts of SODIUM! Even their 'healthier' options. And their pop is liquid SUGAR!!
Facts
Sodium is not going to cause you harm. It's those carbs/sugar that will kill you!
@@ladiuneeq9789 yup
All pop or soda is liquid sugar
@@ladiuneeq9789 salt eats holes in your heart what do you mean
This is completely insane.I won't ever buy another thing from that company ever.I'm gonna spread the word spread the word.
Agreed...I don't think I can consume Frito-Lay products after this story. I know that many/most companies do shady shit, but knowing about this particular story I don't feel like I can in good conscience support these sociopaths.
Make sure you look into sister companies that they also own because Frito-Lay's sells more than just chips
Me too
you just saying that to say it... frito lay is everywhere
@@soullessness it is but if you research enough you can interact with them as little as possible that's why it's important to look at what they own in partnership with
This is horrendous. I will never support Frito/lay or Pepsi in the form of future purchases because of this. Boycott all corporations who put profits over people, vote with your dollars.
