Hi wobbly,
let me give you a certain perspective. I don’t know what job you have but let’s take a doctor. If a doc gets collared for DWI, after posting bail he gets to go on with his life, seeing his patients, making his money. If he doesn’t go to jail he will have to pay but he won’t get fired. It used to be that if a cop was convicted of any misd. or felony(obvious) he was automatically fired. Unless he had a HUGE hook. That’s why guys like me retired after 20 years, because every day you go to work you risked losing your pension.
i know a cop who was waiting at a red light. A knucklehead kid on a motorcycle lost control because he was speeding and smashed into the cops car. The kid died. So now you have a vehicular death and in the ensuing police investigation the cop was required to blow and he was actually over the limit. Mind you, he was stopped at a red light just waiting for it to turn green. The DA did his best to throw him in jail AFTER he was terminated.
The Job was losing so many experienced guys because we didn’t want to play pension roulette that they eased up on their rules of termination.
Just saying. Merry Christmas to you and your family
