Before all this other news came out on him I was just thinking it was an honest mistake. I don't think it's an acceptable exuse unless you have an illness etc. I remember what it was like before cell phones were everywhere and times I slept through my alarm. I was just trying to emphasize with a 19 yr old kid thats all.
I remember one time when I was pulled off a train by the transit cops in Calgary because I couldnt find a my ticket within 4 seconds after asking for it. I found it immediately after I had been escorted off the train. It would have been my first day at a new job and it cost me that opportunity. We didnt have all the details at the t8me so I gave the kid a break because #### happens .
I also was trying to say that in yor whole life you have never made a huge mistake that cost you ? No bodys perfect but with the new info at hand my opinion has changed.
I was trying to emphasize because we dont know why he missed his alarms. If it was for something like he took the red eye/ late night ride in thought he could just take a nap etc. I just wasn't trying to be one of those guys to jump at the opportunity to teash a kid right away. The world is filled with enough people who will tear you down at a drop of a pin.
