restricted Posted January 26 Posted January 26 (edited) Appealing Personnel: Karl Voigt Specific Incident: Action taken as a result: Reprimand to myself, a codifying that personnel are allowed to drink alcohol regardless of risk to safety or procedure. Action contested: " Personnel who become intoxicated to the point of being unable to fulfill their duty, such as medical personnel or security, can be charged with Hooliganism (i105) or Neglect of Duty (i206) depending on the nature of their behavior. This does not prevent them from being served alcohol at all; however, injunctions can be delivered to personnel who abuse alcohol on duty or become belligerent because of intoxication. The SCCV Horizon is granted a bar stocked with alcoholic drinks for crew morale and to help cover operational costs associated with maintaining the ship. It is a privilege, not a right, to have access to the ship's bar; however, crew members who have not abused the drinks provided should have full ability to enjoy this amenity at their leisure and expense. We hope you comply with upholding this ruling." Reasoning for contest: This is an irresponsibly incompetent ruling. As numerous studies for hundreds of years have proven, any amount of alcohol incapacitates a person to some degree. I understand that the person who wrote this ruling may be a raging alcoholic, but they should not utilize the SCCV Horizon to justify their having a little sip before clocking in. If alcohol is present within the bloodstream it WILL present itself in some form of inebriation, even if not immediately obvious to yourself or others. There is LITERALLY NEVER a situation by which someone working and being paid for their time should be utilizing a judgement altering depressant like alcohol, as it is documented to severely impact performance. The cost of running and staffing the bar is far more than any revenue it brings in, it is purely a rest and relaxation fixture. I understand that the writer of the note above may have literally zero idea about the millions of credits it takes to keep large vessels running, but I can surely hope whoever is reviewing this case understands that the few thousand credits a month obtained from the bar do not pose a dent to the running costs of the Horizon, and that is leaving alone the costs of having a bar onboard (Security incidents, lost productivity due to even low level drunkeness, etc). I write this appeal because it is clear to me that every single check and balance was missed here, and someone needs to step in and review the personnel involved with this incident. The incompetence displayed here is unacceptable for SCC personnel. I would also like to note that we are under no obligation to serve anyone. If they are armed they should not be served alcohol. Alcohol is known to cause violent tendencies, if someone is armed that is not a good mix. Again, I cannot believe this was a seriously worded communique to myself. Additional notes: Edited January 26 by Bear the [b][/b] formatting doesn't work. I had too many IRs and put the wrong one in the title
Bear Posted January 26 Posted January 26 TO: Karl Voigt, Janitor, SCCV Horizon FROM: Human Resources, AMS, NTCC Odin SUBJECT: RE: 1/06/2024 - APPEAL -------------------- BODY: Thank you for submitting an appeal regarding standing actions against your employee profile. We have forward this to the SCCIA department for further review, below is their reply: This report was altogether disturbing for a member of command on our flag vessel. The explosive conduct, scathing insults, and sheer audacity does not give us confidence that this employee is fit for service in a critical role. The lack of foresight in handling a ruling that may not be agreed with does not suggest the proper critical thinking required for the role. Furthermore, this letter is not in compliance with SCC workplace conduct roles and would be liable for slanderous accusations against the employee's superiors. Karl Voigt will be demoted and transferred to Idris Incorporated for Janitorial duties effective immediately for the foreseeable future and will be contacted by the Idris Internal Affairs team for aligning a customer service training event that will occur in the near future. This may be appealed in one month with demonstrated good conduct. Take this time to reflect on what material is appropriate to submit to your management and oversight departments and please re-familiarize with SCC conduct expectations. -------------------- DTG: 26-15:45-TAU CETI STANDARD-01-2466 SIGN: AMS
