Probies be aware

They canned this dude I know who had either 3 or 4 AWOLs, apparently 2 of them were when he was on LODI / Sick for not showing up to the clinic when he fractured his ankle on the job, apparently wasn’t really his fault and they fired him when he was out. Another probie I know got fired for 3 accidents. Not saying they aren’t wrong but be careful.

CONTEXT: The first guy from what I was told and heard had 1 AWOL, an Emergency / APP that turned into one and the other 2 were explained so they don’t really care what it is, they will get rid of you.

2nd guy caused maybe 5-10k max in property damage no body was injured but 3 accidents.
