The DUI event sure shows the true colors of management and how they treat the working class at the lab. Normally a DUI or even accused of a DUI result ls in having your clearance revoked, and not having a clearance in some of the working class organizations in the past meant you were on the EIT list and if they didn’t find another job they were shown the door.
True. Management response? Limit attention to tragic event domino Z, and keep preceding event dominos A to Y in the sequence, out of the discussion. Shameful.
