I had carpal tunnel surgery many years ago. Go see your doctor/ preferably an orthopedic doctor. They will lead you to determine it’s a worksman comp claim or not based on your injury. Seeing the right doctor is key so they can tell you what steps to take. Mine was definitely a work related injury. Repetitive stress injury is what causes carpal tunnel. Good luck

I would definitely get examined by a doctor before filing that claim.

Do you have health insurance through your agency? I would recommend purchasing a proper ergonomic mouse and a prop for your feet so that your seated position is improved. In the past I have asked to be reimbursed for these purchases (mouse and keyboard) and the company agreed to it. A bit easier pill to swallow than filing a complaint/claim for $$. Talk to HR about it, see what they say.

I honestly don't think I will, just wanted to see people's thoughts.

The only people that I know of at my company who have gotten any sort of compensation or accommodation have been VP level and above. Everyone else has left. And we have some pretty crappy insurance for those below VP level.

Yeah that’s a bit ridiculous and you might want to evaluate where you’re working. It may make more sense to jump shops or go freelance if you can.

I want to join a start up in my industry but I need to rescind a job acceptance from a more establish company. I resigned from my old job and didn’t start the new job yet. Is the non compete I signed, as part of the job offer acceptance for the position with the bigger company, enforceable if I rescind my job acceptance before I actually start a new job? I don’t think it is. I didn’t receive a sign on bonus so no additional consideration was exchanged from my understanding of my law classes.
