Well on a positive note, if she gets rehired you don't have to worry about her rigging a RNG. She'll be to messed up to do that.

I despise people like her who REFUSE to take RESPONSIBILITY for THEIR actions. Suppose she killed that senior citizen? I hope he sues her, that is worthy litigation to purse IMHO.

Minnesota is an At will state. Contingent on the states Defense response that it did abide by the ADA - In offering her time for rehabilitation and that she successfully followed thru on Treatment and incurred no further on the job episodes of this nature. She is a state Employee and there in lays the crux of concern. She may have State employee rights that go deeper then the average Joe at the burger shop. States tend to be very giving to the employees and their benefits.

this has to be one of the most insane stories/lawsuits I think I have ever read. I have heard it all. This womans actions are disgusting and she should be ashamed of herself.

No wonder America is going to hell in a handbasket.

Wow. If this woman wins her case I will be totally disgusted, not that I'm not already however. Good grief.

Just another entitled idiot. What she doesn't realize is the Minnesota state lottery could very well be liable for her actions.

I find it funny on how she tried to shift the blame to her boss saying he encouraged her to drink....lol

If people refuse to learn at some point, the consequences for their actions can't always

be swept under the rug. How many chances does a person get to break the law? She was

wrong and wants her job back now and is blaming it on addiction and crying foul for being

treated differently. I'm sure the whole extent of her problems and episodes of workplace
