Now that's true. I remember one job where a co-worker, who was annoyed that I couldn't do the impossible to rescue her project, went to the CEO to complain that I was showing the effects of alcohol. He replied "Of course he is, you stupid woman. He's been in the bar with me for the last three hours."mr.72 wrote:I am confident that I am a highly-valued employee. Even if I walked right into my manager's office with a contraband item in my hand (such as a bottle of Jack Daniels...) I doubt they would do anything except say "hey, do me a favor and don't come in here with that out in the open, it's against our policy". The last thing they want is to be forced to fire me over some little policy thing when I am an extremely productive and valuable member of the team.
I should point out that this took place a long time ago, in a land far far away, where lunchtime drinking was still deemed acceptable at the time.
