Regarding Phil's alleged alcoholism:
Phil has admitted that he drank a lot back in the day. Take his "Friend Request Ridicule" videos for example. You can tell he's wasted. Now consider that this was the same time he was working for the helicopter plant and living in his parent's house.
He did eventually move into the Connecticut condo, but his drinking didn't slow down.
He admits that he would come home from work and get drunk and play video games all night. He admits that he called in to work so he could play the day one release of some Spider-Man game or some shit.
He also claims he was the hardest worker at his job and the vice president of Sikorsky personally told him how great he was. The vice president of a $9 billion company personally congratulating a customer service rep. Doubtful on that one, Phil.
Phil's dad had worked for the company for more than 20 years. He went from a low level machine worker to middle management, and there is no doubt in my mind that he got Phil the job. I really don't know anything about Dave, but I suspect he didn't get his promotions by getting drunk every night and calling out of work to play video games.
Phil has stated in past vlogs that he hates shaving. His job had a strict policy that their employees had to look professional and not like a hungover slob. Somehow, Phil claims, he was able to lie to the management and tell them he had a medical condition and he couldn't shave everyday. If you watch videos from this era, you will also notice Phil's buzz cut hair style. It's my personal hypothesis that Phil had his hair cut almost bald so he didn't need to shower everyday, since we know he hates to shower also.
So what was the real reason Phil was "let go" from his job? Was it corporate incompetence, like Phil says, or was it possibly that Phil was an alcoholic who refused to shave or take a shower and would call in to work to play video games all day?
