He said the company does not publicly discuss past or present employees.

Well then, how about discussing their stupid firing policies?

Beer has cost me a job or two over the years as well.


The boss doesn't like it when you call in sick, get drunked up and forget you called in already and call in sick for a second time.

He should've been drinking Miller, then, in reality, he would've been paying alot less for the Miller than the Bud since he would've been paying his own salary, and not peeing it away.....

Don't choose to drink beer on the job.

Pretty simple.

I don't drink anymore but there are still plenty of stories to tell. I called in once and said I couldn't come in because "I got a bone in my leg".

They wrote that one down.

Will GM fire any employees who drive Toyotas or Mercedes?

""It was a Saturday and I wasn't at work," he told The Journal Times. "They can't tell me what beverages I can drink. "

But... but... they're a private employer.... And it could've just as well been a cigarette....

Good thing I'm not eating or drinking anything at the computer right now, or I'd have made a mess.

I'm outraged, especially when I consider how much perfectly good Coors is available.
