I live in Maryland first off. I was laid off from a company and was recieving benefits when a job was offered and I accepted. On the first day of my employment (friday) I was to ride an hour to the job site with a long term employee of the company to replace an old AC system. Not long into the job the coworker begins cutting the refrigerant lines like he does it everyday. This is a federal crime as the refigerant must be recovered because it is known to damage the ozone. Not to mention the customers were home to witness this, whether or not they knew what was happening i do not know, which helped to confirm to me that he was not whatsoever concerned about repercussions. I did not say anything at the time because I was an hour away from home and he was my ride. I took the job understanding that I would be working with other techs on jobs. I spent that evening and the weekend racking my brain about what to do before I called to leave a message stating that this was not the company for me. I would have been more inclined to see if I could work things out with the management if there were more than just a few techs in the company to work with. But I felt I would setting myself up to be ostracized by getting this guy in trouble and I most certainly could not ignore it. I felt the manager had to know what was going on as we were sent to the sit without recovery equiptment. And it was a pick up truck and all the equiptment is visible. I dont want to keep rambling, but
