Thanks for sharing this.  It was nice to see some understanding and compassion in this thread instead of pitchforks and holier-than-thou perspectives. 
 

If he wasnt on company time, and maybe even if we was, Adam Mair doesn’t and shouldn’t be fired.  He should get some help and likely therapy because I’m assuming he’s as upset at Adam Mair as everyone else is.  
 

Pointing out he was hammered with three kids in the car isn't exactly "pitchforks and holier-than-thou." It's completely reasonable.

Yes it’s reasonable because it happened.  What isn’t reasonable is assuming he should lose his job and ability to care for himself and his kids, yeah?

also, and not to you Sabres73, if you laughed at my original response you are only exposing yourself for the type of person you are.  Real recognizes real. Basic ***** need not apply.  Not sorry at all.

What consequences, in your opinion, should Mair face for his actions?

No, I disagree. It's not 100% he will lose his job over this, but it would be absolutely reasonable if he did for risking the lives of three children because he was drunk, as many others in the same circumstances would. The type of person I am is someone who is concerned for the safety of the children and others. The only person exposing the "type of person" they are is you.

Company time has nothing to do with the handling of substance abuse problems.  

One part of me gets angry and wants him fired for recklessly endangering children and possibly others.  

Another part of me knows that if he worked for a big corporation, or the government, he would have an option to call their Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and ask for help.  Depending on circumstances his employment would be protected while he was put on a recovery plan of some sort.  As a former Engineering Director for a large corporation that is what we did.  I was introduced to this plan in about 2005 and have seen it help people, and I’ve also seen people fail and move on.  It puts a strain on the organization to have to replace the employee and then possibly have to accommodate him later, but overall I thought it was a good benefit.  

I have no clue as to whether the Sabres provide this as an employee benefit.    It’s a different business altogether.

IMO, EAP is underutilized.  Wish more people took advantage of it.
