Assuming this is a “real” post, you are never going to find a job that pays decent and can lead to a long career. As a union electrician, you would have been off the job and out of the trade in a week. We do not have time to mollycoddle people like you. With a labor cost of 63 cents a minute, you are way too expensive to have on a job especially with an attitude as you displayed. The railroads are much more lenient because they are large enough to get sued if they don’t do things “right". So, they bend over backwards to be accommodating. In my trade, you get once chance to be late (that means on the job ready to start 5 minutes before starting time.) After that, you will be told to pick up your tools and be handed a termination slip. From the story and that is what makes me thing it is bogus, you could never hold a job, I know 14 year olds who show more responsibility than you did.
