Poll of the Day > Get a new hire, and on his second day come in sloshed...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Whats wrong with people.

Had the police come in cause he had "intent" to drive

WTF. People have issues.

There was one coworker I had that came into work high out of her mind (and seemed like really drunk from the night before). Like falling over and puking on the ground kind of deal. My boss came in on her day off to fire her

This chick came back after lunch like nothing happened and when I asked her to leave she slumped on the ground sobbing. Like right when we're opening to the public on our busiest day

I yelled at her to get in the office and the boss came back and really chewed her out. She left in tears behind her sunglasses and we told her we'd call the cops if she tried to drive away

Not long after this woman's mother comes in to beg me for her job back... For real

One of the most frustrating stupid things at work

That is fucked

The boss was in the back talking with him for the last 15 minutes. Now is on the outside, my guess with his boss or HR. Basically all I know is he is most likely getting terminated

what kind of jobs do you two have?

As soon as his parents kick him out, he'll be a bum and then probably die young so he won't trouble you forever.

You mean an animal shelter.

There was a teacher at a school I taught at who was fired when she got drunk at parent/teacher conferences. She had a bottle of whiskey in her desk and was slobbering drunk by the end of the night.

She was a little bitty old lady who I guess had enough.

I've never been drunk at work. Though, I would drink a beer after with co-workers every once in a while on Friday. And we could drink beer while on the clock yesterday. I only had a cup because I still had to go to my second job.

One time, someone told me that there was this guy who worked with them. And he always had these like bloodshot eyes or whatever. But he was like that everyday. And he never seemed high. He just looked high if you looked at his eyes. They found out later that he was always high, ever since they first met him. Which is why they never actually knew he was high. I can't remember every detail from the story because this was many years ago. But that's the gist of it...
---

A guy I worked with several years ago was caught stealing money out of the cash register on one of his first shifts. Like, we directly saw him do it.

A couple weeks ago that same guy made local news because he was found dead in Waterton National Park. Probably fucked over the wrong person.

Eh that's dumb. Not like it was during classtime.

Over the years, I've worked with several people who came in to work drunk or high on a regular basis. I've worked with people who would literally pop out the back door to smoke a joint during their shift. One of those guys taught me how to drive forklift. As long as they didn't make it too obvious, they got away with it, and the only couple of times I've seen someone get fired for it, it was because they were clearly fucked off their asses and weren't getting anything done.

In a lot of the factories I've worked in, the only big problem is low productivity.

Yeah, not like it wouldnt instill any fear in parents about the teachers habits while on the job with their children or anything.

If youre a teacher and youre at the school, dont drink.

when I worked construction I saw this happen. well boss claimed it happen I never noticed the guy was drunk. but he fired him simply cause he could smell it on his breath. would really suck if he just still had it on his breath from the day before.

The last place I worked at, one of the other Toolmaker's wife worked there as well in molding. She came in one day, supposedly stinking of alcohol. So they sent her to get a breathalyzer done. I don't know what she blew, but they fired her that day.

She tried to file a wrongful termination lawsuit. She claimed that she went home and used listerine and that's what caused it...

Then the husband was laid off in a cutdown... and he tried to file a wrongful termination lawsuit, claiming age discrimination. It cost me my promotion for a year. Fucking dick head.

the mouth wash thing is BS. from everything i've been told it will only stay on your breath enough to blow a test for 15 minutes. i'm sure it took her more than 15 minutes to go get it done. also its part of the reason cops do shit like a sobriety test first instead of just whipping that thing out. to make sure it couldn't be something like that.

My follow up to that would be, if you didn't have alcohol on your breath, then why did you feel a need to use the listerine?

I had to use Listerine twice a day when I got my tongue pierced. Also, I use it pretty much everyday after brushing my teeth. I know a lot of people who use it everyday. I'm not saying she wasn't drunk. I'm just saying it's dumb to think people only use it to hide alcohol on their breath...

Oh, no one believed her. She never even got to file a lawsuit. My follow up to that would be, if you didn't have alcohol on your breath, then why did you feel a need to use the listerine? What did you have to hide?

They wanted to file the lawsuit, because she ended up being blacklisted from molding jobs in the area. And she had been doing it for a long damned time.

ehh some people just like using mouthwash. my step sisters do. and people with bad breath generally do

Other than he being upset at the company for firing his wife and getting her blacklisted from her career, and he wanted retribution.

Oh, I don't know. Nothing? Nothing at all?

I mean how did it cost you a promotion? Were you the guy who let him go and they held you at your current rank until the lawsuit settled?

I never said that... like, at all?

I was only speaking about her. Not about any other listerine user, ever...

I was in no way referring to listerine users as a generality. Only about her specifically.

oh well. that wasn't obvious.

How wasn't it? It takes a leap of logic to assume that I'm talking about ALL Listerine users... or even more than the specific person I'm talking about.

not really, all you said is if she didn't have booze on her breath why would she use listerine. as if she couldn't be a drunk and just use the shit for normal reasons.

but i'm going to quit after that. no sense dragging this bit on and on.

Okay, that makes sense. I mean, it's only two major assumptions on things that I didn't say at all.

But okay. Obviously I was referring to anyone outside of the specific case I was referring to.

Edit: I will also add: That's why I would have posed it as a question.

Yes, people use it for non trying to hide alcohol on their breath... I didn't think I'd have to state the glaringly obvious about Listerine users...

From the way you said it, it did sound like you were saying she couldn't use it for any other reason then hiding alcohol. But if that's not what you meant, then ok.

It hurt less than my tattoo. I barely felt it. The guy said I had a good tongue for piercing...

And it might have been every time I ate. I know I used it a lot. I went through a bunch of bottles...

Ive had to fire multiple people for being drunk at work. Two in one night once. They left a messy trail of evidence and the next building over was complaining.

We have people in this country who are now addicted to drugs and alcohol more so now than at any other time and the drugs are drugs that are more potent and more addictive and add in the problems some people have and that spells disaster.

I used to get drunk at work. A few times it was actually for training purposes, which took the fun out of it.
