    Filled out paperwork wrong did not write why my sever grief and anxiety from losing my son suddenly and trying to save him puts my very technical job duties at risk of harm to others in multiple ways. I had to write him several messages as to what to write and why and then he wrote so sloppy like 2 or 3 things on the wrong paperwork completely minimizing my job risks and my emotional pain at the same time.
