3) the company successfully terminated 1 of them
4) they likley did not make the same mistake again and had significant documentation for this termination.
it’s also worth noting that the company has had a few very favorable awards from arbitration since that happened. I certainly wouldn’t bet my career on an arbitrator looking at a pile of evidence that I routinely missed work and deciding that wasn’t good enough to fire me.
