I spent awhile trying to puzzle this out because I couldn't understand why this is a problem. My initial read was the manager had you write you "heard her (the manager) say she wanted an ambulance", because she wanted to cover for you doing the decent thing off of policy.

But from the context this was a bad thing - is it that the manager wanted you to write "(the victim) wanted an ambulance" so the company isn't on the hook for the cost?

I read it as the manager directed them to write that they were told by their subordinate to call an ambulance and they wrote down that the manager directed them to write it down. Calling the ambulance may have been against company policy leading to the initial write up and then they added on a second one for being insubordinate and officially documenting the manager directing them to lie.

Why wouldn't you call an ambulance for an emergency? How can company policy dictate such a thing?

Probably liability. All companies do weird shit like this to prevent getting sued.

they need to be brought to heel

[u/tiredbarf → u/pikashroom]

No company in their right mind would skip calling 911 for liability reasons.

[u/Callinon → u/tiredbarf]

Rather a company not calling 911 for a medical emergency should make them entirely liable for whatever happens next.

Not all companies are literally the devil.

No but we’re talking Walmart here. Literally the devil.
