The driver in question? Based on the rant of someone who's po'd about not getting a day off and I'll bet doesn't know 10% of the story you are going to say that the driver he mentions is abusing the system? Ok, I'll play. I have at times in the past if an unforeseen emergency came up have had to leave early from work. Not 5 minutes in as claimed although it is possible but several hours in definitely.
Now, with that information and nothing more tell me if I am abusing the system.
OK, I wil play as well. With the information you have given, I would be a fool to assume you are abusing the system. I would assume at that point you are not. Yes, I am bitter about the abusers. But make no mistake, I am not nearly so jaded that I automatically assume everyone using it is abusing it.
Now, here is one for you:
If I told you of an employee in the past 3 months has had 17 emergencies and use int. FMLA. 10 of those were either a Monday or a Friday, and in each of those, the call to inform us of the FMLA was several hour after start time. 4 were when the employee had to leave after arriving at work, and each of those was on days when operational issues compelled us to move them to a work area they do not like. 3 of the 17 days have non of these qualities that could point to any alterior motive I am aware of. So in the face of that pattern, would you assume this person is the victim of a series of unfortunate coincidence and not abusing the system?
