Workplace Drug Dealing: Is there a stupider way of earning cash on the side?

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Sometimes in life, events occur that leave you utterly perplexed.

Putting these into words, whilst still trying to fathom what has just happened, can be tricky, but I'll give it a go now... We have just dismissed a temporary worker for attempting to deal drugs at work.

Quite why anyone would be so painfully stupid is quite beyond me, and is something I will struggle to get my head around for quite some time I feel.

We've had to deal with people selling some fairly dodgy produce before (pirate DVD's etc), but class A drugs really is a new one.

What I find even more incredible is that the individual was caught out when he tried to sell to one of our team leaders.

To be honest I think I'm more appalled by the stupidity of the individual than his actual crime (though that in no way is meant to belittle his actions).

There's definitely a moral to this story; as you were told at school, "just say no". Especially to stupid people...
