Report
I had started working at AJD back in May of 2021 to September of 2021, theyre nice people; however they had ignored the fact that I had told them I was there to apply to be a stacker. Not whatever kicker one is because I was not aloud to lift anything too heavy. Now I cannot lift anything at all because of my problem. Not saying its all their fault because I did not have a doctors note stating I could not. Now I have my therapist that says my whole body is tight because I over lifted. Hmmm, not sure how I did that. All Im saying is do your research and ask questions before applying. Thank
