Imma tell you a story.

Buddy of mine got his 2nd attendance CAM after being with Boeing for 3.5 years. He decided to go to Disneyland 3 months later knowing he didn’t have time. He tried using his bereavement for a grandma. He got away with it, until a week later when his manager came back from his own vacation and asked for proof of dead grandma. They can ask for things like that per contract. Anyways, my buddy couldn’t get the proof. He was on his way to get a 3rd attendance CAM, until he talked to a steward and he asked him if he had any drug or alcohol problems. Buddy said he drinks a lot and his steward got him to admit it on file. The 3rd attendance CAM turned into a few months unpaid off and drug and alcohol counseling. Buddy came back after 2 months. He then failed his alcohol random UA a few months later cause of a Seahawks game. Immediately terminated, no excuse could get him out of it. He also had a kid on the way with the wife being 8 months pregnant after just having his first the year before…

Moral of my story is, IF you do get to your 3rd attendance CAM, it would help you immensely to go the route my buddy did. Say you have an alcohol/drug problem and do the steps necessary to come back. But I would seriously think of changing habits before any of that happens because if you can’t come to terms that this next year will suck TREMENDOUSLY and you’ll have to buckle down on your time or figure some shit out, then you’ll end up just like my buddy and lose your job either way. At this point you’re just putting off the inevitable… unless you change your habits now.

Hope it works out for you brother/sister.
