This is different from normal?
Also:
How much do you want to bet those dogs are never allowed up in the executive suites?
What kind of company has such a bad drug problem that they need to bring in dogs to find it? Absolutely ridiculous.
I'd probably be shooting up junk too if my boss was Elon Musk.
In normal corporate environments I’ve seen people abuse everything from codeine headache tablets to crystal meth.
Not defending Edolf Twitler, I’m just saying it’s not unusual for these environments to be so toxic that people look for ways to manage.
I don't find the drug use abnormal so much as them bringing in drug sniffing dogs to catch it rather than dealing with it on an individual basis.
Probably less for actually finding drugs than for checking a tickbox on an insurance form for "taking measures to combat drugs" or something. It's probably just Ricky from HR's dobie-doodle mix.
that's the best I've seen since Adolf Musk
I don't think it's that they had such a rampant drug use problem. I think it's just that they wanted to appease Uncle Sam so they could keep sucking on that taxpayer teat. Uncle Sam's a bit of a stickler about such things, especially when it comes to people who build rocket ships.
It's always projection.
Elon takes care of all the drug sniffing in there personally. No need for dogs.
Well the smart money can only go inverse, and tripling down with a "I'll see your bet and raise it 500%" that a drug dog absolutely will find a shit ton of drugs in the executive areas. I'd take out the largest loan I possibly could, then go to a loan shark and do a blood contract, and absolutely muster every possible cent I possibly could after whoring my own ass out, on THAT bet.
Can we make bets on how successful you will be?
Sure, just as soon as I find where I could make that bet.
