Besides seeing as YOU have been through AA you should also know that getting addicted to alcohol is a LOT harder then Meth, heroine, and the likes! It also has a LOT less impact on the addicts surroundings, sure an alcoholic may destroy his family, but for a meth addict that is just the beginning. |

This is why I do cocaine. It's not addicting. In fact I have friends that have done coke everyday for 20 years and they're not addicted.

I have been through this with several employees.
The problem will start to manifest itself in mood swings, lies, long periods of absences with bizarre excuses, lots of unnecessary drama, and a general lack of productivity. Depending on the state you live in you will need to handle it carefully so not to open yourself up for a lawsuit. Don't be surprised if they tell you that they are in the process of trying to get clean. Don't fall for it This is typical addict manipulation to save their job. |
The magic of this biz it's that a coder on meth it's probably more reliable than one that doesn't... :/.

I've known a few peeps who have gotten into this over th years.
Its all bad. You can hope that they get better but facts are facts. If you want a little insight into Meth use watch "A scanner darkly" the psuedo drug I think it's called "Death" or "Vitamin D" was modeled after the writers friends who have fallen to meth over the years. At the end of the movie he lists their names and how they have fallen most with Organ Failure / Death or Schizophrenia. The movie is a good watch but then when you replace the drug with meth it has a very serious undertone. Its a fuckin sad way to go, but you gotta get rid of him asap! Sorry to hear about this. |

Well, given that you said he's always "sick", I'd say kick him to the curb. Sounds like he's got a pretty addictive personality and/or the meth just "took over". If he just did it every now and then to help finish up a big project more quickly, I'd say who gives a shit.

call that intervention show

all the best coders are tweekers.
just like "all the best cowboys have chinese eyes" -Pete Townshend :1orglaugh |

I hear that is very hard to anyone stop using Meth, especially when it's used for year.

my only concern would be if he's shitting his pants. and then only is his desk was beside mine. though if he was a good coder and shit his pants i guess you could just move him outside.
|
meth makes you super-horny so he probably spends lots of time jerking his limp cock. don't smell his keyboard.

if its not affecting his work.. then its none of your business.
HAHAHA i guess it will only be your business when he starts stealing, lying and when he freaks out and comes in with a huge knife and starts stabbing people. then you can fire him probably. but make sure you follow procedure. haha. fucking people. a drug addict should be fired immediately. period. would you be asking this question if you had proof positive that he rapes women daily or steals cars every night or had just robbed a gas station? do you understand your own legal obligation to report illegal behavior your aware of ... or of your own potential liability and the liability your business faces if it can be proven you have been aware of this behavior and he does something wrong? if you like him or care about him, offer to get him help...if he doesn't understand he needs help, then you can't force it on it. but any mature, reasonable adult person understands that you need to distance yourself from this person immediately and do whats right for your business/employees. |
I know people that drink as much as one glass of wine per week and they're more unreliable to work with than a drug user...
|
It could be good now, but it won't end good. Fire him.
|
the question is: DOES HE WANT TO BE CLEAN?

Offer them help and if he/she accepts it and they keep to it then its all good, if they refuse help then I would get rid of them

Alright so I've have been looking this shit up and found in no more than 5 seconds:
" Many things can impact your business and some of those are negative. If you suspect an employee is using the devastating drug Methamphetamine, also known as Crank, Meth, Speed, Ice, Crystal, or Glass, here are some consequences or behaviors to watch for: ~ employee theft, fraud, embezzlement ~ on the job accidents ~ excessive sick leave ~ worker's compensation claims ~ poor performance, workmanship, or customer service ~ workplace aggression, violence ~ company liability ........ What to do about it: Every business should have an employee drug policy in place to cover liabilities and procedures regarding suspicions of drug use. " So basically they say you'd best get rid of him. |
