Kevin rode the van to work and was late for work several times, since he doesn't drive. He got fired for that, even though it was not his fault. Do you think the people who ran this place he worked at were low down scumbags for treating Kevin like that? What are your feelings about the whole situation?

I'm sorry. who is Kevin? Which van is this? Is it a service?
From what I can pease together, I'd say Kevin should've talked with his supervisors about his transportation situation so the supervisor could have a chance at understanding the sit.
But was it out of Kevin's control to take an earlier van, even if it meant showing up 30 or more minutes early?

I don't know Kevin's situation. You need to provide more detail. Is Kevin developmentally challenged, a recovering addict, in a department of corrections halfway house on work release, or some other situation that may have prevented him from making arrangements other than "the van?"
It is Kevin's responsibility to get to work on time. If he was not mentally impaired or in a facility that limited his choices, then he was responsible to take charge of his life and find a way to get to work on time. If not, the company should have concessions that were worked out with the living environment beforehand.
Good luck to Kevin on his next job. Hope he learned something from this experience. Be on time.

No I think Kevin was stupid for not catching an earlier van. Sorry but I don't feel sorry for people who are late for work and use the excuse that they don't drive so they are at the mercy of a driver or public transportation.
I get up at 5:15am and ride with someone to work. I don't have to actually be there until 8am. We have to drive almost 50 miles on the freeway. We get to work around 7:30am so I'm always early. If she can't drive or if my car is in the shop then I make other arrangements so I can get there on time. If I can get my butt up and figure out how to get to work on time, then so can Kevin.

Well I feel bad that Kevin got fired but it was Kevin's responsibility to find a way to get to work on time. I can see why his bosses fired him even though it's unfortunate. Being on time is very important in the workplace.

Mhhh. Lateness whether his fault or not, hurts his reputation wherever he works. So, you really cant blame them for firing Kev. Its not their fault either he is late, why should they have to put up with his lateness. If u r kevin, sorry, u might want to buy a car or work closer home.

I guess it depends on the nature of the business. If you need to open and have a full staff a a certain time, then they are probably justified. However, if it's a place that has more flexible hours then that probably wouldn't happen.

that sucks for kevin...most jobs have the right to terminate employment for any reason, tardiness being one of them...maybe kevin should get a car and then he wouldn't have this problem...
