Former JetBlue fight attendant Steven Slater is expected to plead guilty in a Queens courtroom today. We are all familiar with the story. Disgruntled employee faces off with ornery traveler and makes history by expressing his frustration through on over-the-top act of insubordination marked by the inflation of an escape mechanism by which he slides off into the sunset.
For a while Steven Slater was a hero to service workers throughout the country. Afterall, who hasn't wanted to "jump ship" after an unsavory moment with colleagues or customers? But as facts began to replace fiction, it appeared that he was simply waiting for an excuse to behave badly. More importantly, it appears he made the whole thing up. Was this his way of sabotaging JetBlue? As a frustrated worker, was this his way of creating bad publicity for a corporation he had nothing but disdain for? Was this his last ditch effort to "adapt" to frustration in the workplace?
