Loading ...What four out of five employers place alcohol at the top of the list of concerns for their staff, you know there must be a problem. Of course, when you go on to read the article and it says that only one in ten employees have ever been drunk at work, I think you’d agree that it’s not quite as big a problem as the article attempts to make it sound.
Sure, one third admit to have shown up to work with a hangover, but when only ten percent have ever shown up drunk, I don’t really think you should be worrying about it so much. It’s not like that ten percent show up drunk every day. The fact that they suggest companies need to take it upon themselves to offer employees help is also kind of rediculous. Sure, it’s always nice if a company decides to offer counseling programs and other help to its employees, but I don’t think drinking problems should be the concern of your employer. It’s your problem if you show up drunk, and if you make it your company’s - maybe it’s time you find work elsewhere.
File that under a drunk employee is a happy employee.
