@Nimbus One of your work-mates, I take it?
I recall one at work, a rather arrogant young woman, perhaps in her early-20s. She was not there for very long.
She arrived as usual one morning, but hardly half an hour later I saw her and the workshop manager walking grimly through the door into the corridor that led to the offices. The manager returned alone. the machinist did not return.
It transpired she'd arrived still the worse the wear from a party the previous night. Not best for loading and operating a big CNC mill; enclosed but for its fast-moving tool-changer arm .
I don't know if her immediate supervisor, the programmer and operator of the adjacent, similar machine; had reported her; but anyway she was dismissed more or less on the spot.
Nor do I know how she had travelled to work. If she had driven she would probably have done so very illegally, over the alcohol limit.
