My trainer was right there and did not say a word at the time, until the next day when he tells the boss. I get no second chance, despite my lengthy claim of ignorance about not doing push-ups and request for a second chance.
Don't you just love non-union job security?!?!

So, did FLL forget the no push-up part of his trainning instructions or did his new employer forget to mention that part during FLL's trainning instructions?

Sounds like FLL's on-the-job trainer was a bit remiss in FLL trainning instructions, too - lets FLL exercise, then rats him out to the boss, after-the-fact.

My vote goes to the firing of the trainer; not the trainee.

A bit difficult to fly with the eagles, when you are flying with a pack of buzzards...
