Reports are coming in that many people over the last week or so have been terminated, including some STSOs. Most are due to attendance and a recent drug and alcohol test performed.
There's not much to say on the attendance issue, is there? Really folks, it's always best not to play the game unless you have or need to do so. It's best to save your PTO when you need it. And always remember that there is Kincare.
In terms of the drug and alcohol tests, well, we all know that when we signed on the dotted line for this job that drug testing was part of the package. No real defense in this matter. The only question that does come up is the randomness of it. Is it truly random? You have employees that have been there 3, 4, 5+ years and have never been drug tested. Then you have employees who get drug tested multiple times in a month. Perhaps this "randomness" proves that it really is random. We'll never know.
Be that as it may, guys keep your nose figuratively and literally clean. If you are going to a party over the weekend, it's better to call in if you're not going to be able to get over your intoxication. Stay safe, and more importantly, don't do anything stupid to lose your job. It's far better to leave on your own terms, than on Covenant Aviation Security's terms.

I have known someone in CAS for almost 8 years and never been subjected to "ramdom" drug screenings. That makes me wonder if that person is even on their payrolls at all. So, how they choose people are still in great mystery. They even time you precisely when you receive random drug screening notice. They have all the rights to do drug screen employees as law required. I have no sympathy for people get terminated due to failed drug tests. That's just plain stupid, period.
ReplyDeleteCAS seems like clearing the house for people playing with attendance levels. What a such good timing when summer peak season is over and new hires are coming online to work, so staffing isn't that much of an issue for firing couple of them. Keep in mind, it's cheaper for CAS to have newbies to work on the same job than plank owners due to lower hourly wage.
P.S. CAS is paying more attention to people who often use KC and FMLA, especially on weekends.
They may be paying more attention to people who often use Kin Care and FMLA, but legally there is nothing they can do about it. The law is pretty cut and dry on that matter.
