K so on one hand they're stupid to be vocal about smoking it, but on the other if they stay schtum they're also deceitful for hiding it. Interesting rationale
They shouldn't be doing it in the first place, either way, so yeah.
Well personally I think you should generally merit staff on their performance.
I am... and in this case, they're doing something strictly forbidden by many a company policy. In ours, that is instant dismissal and they'll know damn well - They're ******* idiots. What more do you want?
Indeed, but you didn't have to. It's quite obvious you have a zero tolerance towards anything illegal, drugs wise that is.
So assuming unspoken meaning in my words too, then? OK, I can deal with that...
But whether I do or not still has nothing to do with the matter at hand, namely this magical tolerance that you assert governs whether a person is in a suitable condition to meet their responsibilities.
You might have 10 years experience as a casual smoker, but you won't have that resistance I speak of.
Until you demonstrate that an individual's level of resistance can be reliably measured and thus substantiated against a scale by which one can gauge their level of intoxication, you have no grounds for that useless argument.
Um, you're the one that brought the law into it like it has some sort of bearing. It doesn't. The reason I brought up my co-worker.
I see you agree since you have just taken what I said waaay out of context and tried to par it off as 'whining'.
So as a result of his alcohol use, he has rendered himself a highly undesirable and unproductive employee. Pretty sure that's not permitted by company policy, no? There's your law, there's your reasons, use that to get rid of him or shut up and get back to work.
Not a fan of sarcasm then
Only when it's done well. That really wasn't.
Ok so to coin your term 'junkie' applies to those addicted to something. Note the earlier post mentioning TB (tolerance break) and the symptoms of withdrawal range from difficulty sleeping to omg weird dreams. For a week. A far cry away from heroin users which is actually what I think of when I hear junkie.
It doesn't matter what
you think.
It matters what your employer thinks, what those parents in the OP think, what a jury thinks, what the general public thinks, and what the law says.
If your addiction use affects your performance, you're a junkie. If your addiction is against the law, then you're a criminal too.
That is just the way it goes. Get over it.... and stay away from jobs with a zero tolerance policy.
