[QUOTE="Ascending, post: 762605, member: 29778"] Confusion in posting. He had job, but it was intensely disorganized snd he quit ... as he had an interview at probably a much better place... but not guaranteed. Now he probably has the new job, more below. Some of past reply was in my editor so forgive the repetition... Anyway new job (which could be a career job with benefits etc) depends now on drug screening passage. 🙏🙏🙏 I thought my previous approach obviously had not worked and it involved letting lesser rudeness and so on go. Which seemed to lead to him uppping and upping the levels of what he was doing till we got to 911 stage. And the information / guidance in In Sheep’s Clothing is to not let the little things go. Well, the big news is: He probably has a (another different) job. It is dependent on passing a drug screening which he took today. I am praying he will have passed that. (And prayers from others appreciated!!!) He wasn’t sure when he last smoked weed, and it was less than two weeks since he came back home and has been off during that time which metabolites could still show up from longer than that. . It is expected to start week after next with an orientation meeting. It will be hard physical work. And possibly even 10 hour days in all weather. At least for a minimum of 3 months at entry level in forestry / lumber industry. After that he may be able to advance in the company. He is planning to stay living at home as job starts, so his home behavior remains important. I think the job may not only be a good entry job, but a good career path for him, one of his interviewers started at age 18 and has worked his way up and is now in supervisory position in his 40’s, he told my son. I am praying hard for him to pass the screening and to Work hard and to make the job work ! [/QUOTE]
