given how a cooler is usually much smaller than an anvil, you can just knock the anvil over
If the cooler is somewhere else and you can't leave, the entire anvil subplot feels superfluous regardless.
Though if the medicine is literally required for you to live, I'm fairly sure your boss would have no legal recourse to stop you from leaving to go get it, and would potentially open themselves up to civil lawsuits if they attempted to enact punitive action on you for leaving (and straight up criminal liability if they attempted to physically stop you from leaving).
There's also the presumption that if you need a specific medication to survive and lack access to it, it's not a magical miracle drug that only exists in your cooler and nowhere else on Earth, so it should theoretically be possible to go to a hospital, tell them what your condition is, and they would likely have the same sort of medication on hand to treat you to prevent you from redlining.
But yeah, if the anvil was literally the only thing keeping you from the drugs, it shouldn't be that hard to knock the anvil over. Or even potentially lift it if it's small enough, because smaller anvils can weigh as little as 60lbs, and even up to 120lbs shouldn't be that difficult to lift, turn, and drop (and if it was TOO much heavier it's probably already crushed your cooler and everything inside of it anyway).
why would i have to leave to go to the cooler if the anvil, presumably in front of me, is sitting on it
Give the jerk who put your medication under the anvil a 20 to go get it for you. They can clearly lift the anvil.
they are feeling unappreciated and are antagonistic towards youThen liberally apply a crowbar to their person until they comply or are physically incapable of complying. If I'm going to die because they're an asshole, I'm taking them with me.
I have trouble believing there is an anvil that exists that is light enough to not crush a cooler, but also so heavy that I cannot simply lift it. I have an anvil at home and it's fairly easy to move.Full grown adults sit on coolers all the time. Anvils range from 75 to over 500 lbs.
it's in the break room, you're working the door
...Clearly not, and that's probably a good thing as the scenario is bat-shit insane.
This is a reference to something and I don't think anyone got it

and would potentially open themselves up to civil lawsuits if they attempted to enact punitive action on you for leavingI suppose they could argue that you could have brought it with you and put it in a cooler at work. If this is America we're talking about, they'd probably win that lawsuit.
there's more
here's the steps; you have to go to the dark world to get an ego massager to use on the strongman to get him out of his self-loathing so he'll be happy enough to remove the anvil. Getting the ego massager requires using a creature you win in a carnival game on a panel... also the carnival game is rigged so you have to get an entirely different item to rig the game in your favour first which requires breaking into a prison to give food to a guard
we're having to follow extra steps for some goddamn medicine are we?Even the American health insurance industry it looking at that and saying no, that's a bit too far.

You could also use a saw or cutoff tool to cut out the side of the cooler.
I'm not quite sure why, but the word 'darkseed' makes me think of @Far-Queue
Coolers typically have doors that open outward and not upwards.Could this be a regional lingual artifact? I don't know of any coolers that open outward. Refrigerators on the other hand, I don't know of any that don't, though there are some freezers that open upwards.
From the problem statement, the cooler is under the anvil.
Open the door, get the medicine. Easy.
