Oh no he is definitely still employed. I know his password to his work website where it shows his clock in/clock out times to the second and where it shows his paychecks. I can see that the days he doesn't go in it shows as "Without Pay". That is how I know whether he has gone to work before I get home because he is supposed to start at 2PM and if I log on after 2 and see that he has clocked in, then I relax. If not, then I just get angry. He doesn't know I check this website. He gave me his password more than once to check on some benefits stuff but apparently he doesn't realize that I can navigate around the rest of the site to check up on him. I can't tell you how many times, when he worked 1st shift, that he'd leave the house for a few hours like he was going to work but just go have breakfast somewhere and then just come home after I left for work and act like he was at work all day. He had no clue I was looking online and that I knew he lied to me over and over, yet I never told him I knew this. He even admitted to me and the counselor in rehab that he did this very thing. I acted surprised, but I had known all along.

He also gave me his passwords to his bank acct and credit cards and there is nothing on there that shows him going anywhere and buying liquor or stopping at a bar.

He told me yesterday he's just bummed out about this because everything was going so well and now this whole possible firing situation is going on over something he claims isn't his fault. So of course this is the reason why he hasn't been to work in a week. What I am having a REALLY hard time understanding is that he isn't fired yet so he can still work until a decision is made? He has not been clear to me about that. Because I know he made an appt to go see his doctor for some made up reason so he can get a note for being out all week but with all this other crap going on why is he even chancing not going in? He had told me that yesterday was the last day to get things in. I thought that meant it was the last day for him to write this letter but he tells me that he can write the letter anytime, it was the last day for them to decide to excuse or not excuse him. Wait, what?? So no decision has been made? You told me that there was no way they were going to excuse you. Yet now you aren't going to work because you are waiting on them for an answer but you have to write this letter? I am SO confused and if I ask him anything about it he just gets agitated that he has to keep explaining it to me. Won't they kind of put all of this together? I mean he is trying to prove to them that he had this reason for being out and is writing this letter to the upper management, yet he takes another full week off for no reason and now has to find a way to cover that?

The whole situation makes my head spin! If he does manage to finagle a way out of this and keep his job, he had better not EVER pull this crap again!
