[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3328613, member: 63706"] With no disrespect intended, and not excusing the OP's drunk driving, simply playing devil's advocate. Beyond the fact that the OP brought the coming consequences on himself, it is Fed Ex's no tolerance policy that is putting him in this position. His license has not been suspended, so he is not doing anything illegal. I'm not aware of any law requiring that he immediately inform his employer of the charge, especially not until after a court decision is handed down. He would be stupid to inform Fed Ex, ever, or until his license was suspended without occupational exceptions. It's FedEx's rule, it's up to them to enforce it. His only options are to keep quiet until he loses his job (or finds another one), or tell and lose his job immediately. It sounds like in either case he's never working for FedEx again. If you want to argue that telling is the right thing to do, I can't argue that. But if FedEx wants to avoid these situations, the right thing for them to do is establish a policy where he might get a one-time chance to keep his job as long as he reports it right away, does what is necessary to maintain his license, and go through diversion.
