My sister actually successfully sued an employer for psychological damage due to workplace abuse. I never talked to her about what specifically they did, though, and this was a call center that I have to assume was far more abusive than a Google engineer experiences.
Of course, I myself get disability payments from the VA due to permanent injuries sustained while in the Army, but that's pretty common. I left that job with ten screws in my spine, which is a little easier to quantify than "I felt stressed." Ironically enough, in spite of having a few diagnosed and treated brain injuries, including one in which I wasn't allowed to drive for two months, I got nothing for that. I'm reasonably sure my memory is worse than it was, but it's nearly impossible to prove that. Before and after tests are no longer possible if you didn't do a before test, and who regularly takes any sort of test of cognitive function before getting injured?
- gscott 4y agoMy son was recently in a motorcycle accident and he did a multi-hour written test and determined that he could no longer do the math he did in college (not the average I forgot how to do that but in a much worse way). That might work for you if you have college classes to look back on.
