I wouldnt try to burn anyone, just a general question trying to comfort a coworker. Who, by the way, does his job well but hasnt made the wisest choices outside of work lately. But he has gotten his second dui in less than 5 years from his first conviction which elevates it to a low-level felony. If he is able to get on a work release program or home detention and not miss an extended period of time, he should be able to keep his job still, right? I would think it should be taken on a case by case basis. I know the crew doesnt want him to leave. He accepts responsibility for his foolish actions and wants to make serious life changes while still keeping his job.
His lawyer has a plea deal for all executed time served on house arrest and able to continue employment. The store manager has already said he wants to keep him and he throws stock like a beast so his crew wants him to stay, too. The manager was just not 100% sure if a felon status would forcibly cause him to be fired by corporate. But like ive said, he just got a DUI. It doesnt actually pertain to his job at all

Yeah. Yeah, it kinda does. It goes to character. See, how these things work----employers, creditors, people ith the power to make or break you---is, you're looked at as very much a good or bad risk. It's like how insurance companies target young males for higher rates. The stats bear out that that group is liklier to have greater claims. Same with creditors looking at your FICA score.
Same with employers looking at felony crimes. Sure, a store manager may want to keep someone like that, and they probably deserve to stay, but corporate? They think only in terms of projections and numbers.
I mean in the sense it wasnt like a theft or a personal, premeditated crime against someone. He fully acknowledges his wrongdoing and i believe he has truly convicted himself of it and is reaching out for treatment on his own accord to prevent things like this in the future. The rewards of keeping him far outweigh the risks. as far as numbers go i dont think theres one person in the district that would upstage him in throwing stock or just overall job flair. Which drives sales and repeat customers. But im getting off topic. The point is i am trying to offer him answers and solace. Hes a damn good employee worried about the sake of his job. Even being a felony charge (which may ultimately be reduced to misdemeanor by the end of his house arrest sentencing), it was a nonviolent, non-retail related crime and i believe he should definitely be given another chance. But that decision is way out of my hands. So the best i can do is get a good answer for him
Normally, if your unable to show up to work your terminated. Kroger does not have a "Jail Leave", they will most likely schedule him and if he does not come in....byebye.
Well, even I have no idea about this thing. I am going to share this post with my uncle because he was once involved in such a case. A good Los Angeles DUI attorney got him out of trouble that time. Thankfully, his licence was not suspended.
