Sad, yes. Preventable, probably. A lot of companies will support you, if you come in, be honest, and ask for help. I've known some people that did this, and their health benefits paid for the treatment, and they went back to work, to continue successful careers.
Sorry for the harshness, but he really did put himself in that situation. My sadness is for his family. >>> <pdw1...@hotmail.com> 6/30/2011 9:47 AM >>> A bit of a sad note. I got an phone call from the director early last night. He couldn't get a hold of the supervisor so he called me. He told me to log in and cancel all network access and disable AD account for an employee in our department. Said employee had failed his drug test. He had been on probation the last few months and it seemed he was getting his head straight. Then this week he came in late for a staff meeting and even I noticed something wrong. He didn't look good, wiping his forward a few times, hair mussed up. Anyway, he took a drug test later that day and failed. Young guy, married for about two years and hooked on pain pills. Now he's out of a job and, I hope, not a wife, too.
