“... conduct evincing such willful and wanton disregard of an employer’s interest as is found in deliberate violations or disregard of standards of behavior which the employer has a right to expect of his employee, ...On the other hand, ... good faith errors in judgment ... are not to be deemed “misconduct” within the meaning of the statute.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage“The appellant’s defense that he did not report to work intoxicated or drink on the job is no defense to the charge that he ignored previous oral warnings not to report to work in such an odoriferous condition. Being employed in a position with supervisory duties, such as the appellant in the instant case, or being in a position where one is in contact with the employer’s customers, particularly compels such a determination.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage““Findings of fact by the Board of Review of the West Virginia Department of Employment Security, in an unemployment compensation case, should not be set aside unless such findings are plainly wrong_” Syl. pt. 1, Kisamore v. Rutledge, [ 166 W.Va. 675 ] 276 S.E.2d 821 (W.Va.1981).””
