Ok. . . man at work breaks his mouse so you let him borrow your wireless mouse. They leave to go to a jobsite. You go into their office to get the mouse and notice an oddly ripped piece of paper laying on the desk. You pick it up and there is crushed powder underneath it.

You call the guy back to the office and he explains that it's adderall he has a prescription for. Do you fire him on the spot? You have to right, even if he's been a good worker for years? Do you right him up and make him go to counseling or something?

I tell him that he must call his doc immediately to see about upping his dose to 2 per day. Then instruct him to take the extra pill per day and sell them to college kids. We split the money 80/20 with me getting 80.

He agrees to these terms OR he’s fired.

If it’s not adderall, no big deal, just repeat steps above 😁

A large dark roast coffee, with shot of espresso. With 1 raw sugar. Sometimes no sugar.

If no coffee, unsweet tea. That's it. Unsweet tea.

Lawnmower, push. Non self propelled.

Saw, hand saw. Screwdriver, no power tools.

Rake, no blower. Yard work, no skid steer.

The last one is true. My wheelbarrows are broken. And I own no power tools, bc i'm cheap.

Well, if he is taking some substance and you are aware of it, I'd then think about company liability.

That's what I'm worried about. He's obviously not taking it as prescribed and he's doing it at work. I suppose he's been doing it a while and never got caught. The issue now is that I know about it. Can't claim ignorance if something happens from it. . . good thing I do know now, I should've been more aware of what's going on anyway.

I like unsweet tea if it's ice cold and power tools are for the weak anyway, 😂

"Damn I've got to go out of the office, but my crushed up Adderall is all over my desk. I know, I'll rip a piece of paper to the perfect size and cover it up"

I think you have to fire him for simply thinking that was a good plan.

Is it against some kind of disability law to refuse to hire someone after you find out they take Adderall? "I've got a prescription for my amphetamines" means nothing to me.
