Alcohol

[UnionStrong]

Awesome.

I know of several who quit without any treatment or programs of any kind.

I wasn’t so lucky but that is great.

White knuckling it. Dry drunk.

Sometimes, your body turns on you, and strongly suggests you quit. No other intervention, necessary.

Other times your wife has her (and the kid's) bags packed and is standing by the front door.

I believe a person under the limt can still be impaired...
I wonder if there are any court cases that might confirm this?

You've never met the "cheap drunk"? 1 beer and they're bouncing off walls or passed out? Or lose all sense of decorum?

So, what are we talking about here?

Clocking in doesn't mean beans until start time.

Now, being on company property means a lot of things. So does "unprofessional conduct".........Anything before start time doesn't just go. Lot's of folks have been fired for lot's of things on and off of property.

Theoretically, you could smell like weed and alcohol and have done(consumed) neither.

Reporting for work......ok. So?

So wait the 20-30 min till whenever his start time is and then hand him a breathalyzer. He still wasn’t going to blow a .00 so the issue of reporting for work under the influence still exists. He’s a driver not a PTer….it’s a problem.

This again happened with me. It’s why I was born in a foreign country, lol.

Just looked at your post history. Your not telling the whole story come back when you want to talk real

Like you need a reason to give someone "real" talk, you had your pants unzipped and were furiously fapping away before you finished reading the title on this thread

Off topic , but a fella in my building got a dwi: he still has his license , innocent until proven guilty right ! But he didn’t tell ups for a week, so he got canned. Bummer

We had a guy call the center manager from the police station.

WE HAD A GUY THAT GOT TWO. Still driving. Still employed. Going on 35+. Now, a third is a felony so......

We had a guy didn't tell the company until it was adjudicated(a year later)......was able to go on to retire. Much later.

 

[DOK]

Right to the point: so a supervisor smelled alcohol on me before I didn’t even began to start my route( let alone start the truck) so 2 Union stewards who went through re hab for years who are keen to smelling alcohol, they didn’t smell anything. So I went to get tested and my B.A.C was barley at the state limit. So I get discharged at the same time they mean terminated. Mind you I had a drink 9 hours before I went to work. The nurse said I wouldn’t notice I was impaired despite not showing signs of it. So I’m screwed aren’t I?

Hate to be blunt but you don’t stand a chance, I’m sorry but you’re done.

Thread is a good reminder to go get the beer and shot special at a local restaraunt that is trying to float a 1M dollar mortgage.

If OP BAC was seriously that high still, I would not be looking just for mediation, I would be hunting for a doctor who can diagnose whatever potentially serious health issue it is that lead up to such a slow metabolism rate.

edit: just read they had 6 shots. 6 shots at 2 ounces is a ton of alcohol and you could potentially need 7-8 hours to metabolize it. if there was even slightly more per shot like 2.5 ounces or if the proof was high then you should expect yourself to test hot the next day. I think OP just screwed themselves. Should have stuck to the beer and (1) shot special lol.

Probably blacked out and has no idea how much he actually drank. He drove drunk, got caught, and now he describes the situation as "unlucky".

You can't help people who won't even admit they have a problem.

You will be offered treatment and random breathalyzer tests and or drug testing depending on your SAP assessment. It's more common now than in the past they give you a chance to get your job back after coming to work under the influence. Keep your nose and follow all the recommendations they give you. UPS is a zero tolerance policy for Alcohol use during workweek.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

I have to wonder if his management team was the first to notice or if one of his co-workers brought it to their attention; either way, it sounds like a potential tragedy may have been averted.

Back when I first started we had a driver () who came in still a little drunk from the night before----they turned him around and sent him home. This was in the early '90s----no way that would be allowed to happen today.

Stop dropping names Skippy...

Never blacked out. Only drank heavily for the last 4 months during the slow season. I already accepted the program
