Their boss whinges to me about their behaviour but does nothing.
HR do drug testing? Maybe a few targeted 'random' tests are in order?

Mate, last random we had, this person announced that they are going to Red Rooster to grab something to eat, took a few people's to get their orders and never returned, sent a text to their boss saying their son got rushed to hospital, funniest thing was that the said person wasn't even on the list for testing that day.

I think their employer has a duty of care to consider here as it's pretty bloody obvious.

Can someone ring up the cops and they can test him when he has just left work premises?

They could get their independent testing company to come in and do the testing if they wanted to, it's what I'd be doing, get a few people done at the same time so it doesn't look like they are being targeted, in fact, I'd sit them down and tell them that I suspect that they have a problem and give them the opportunity to address it or offer them 2 weeks leave to go sort it out, it's a runaway train.

It's actually a woman.

A couple of them are quite aware of her strange behaviour, there's a few people watching what goes on now as there are consistent trends, I blame her boss for not acting on it sooner, IMO she needs help, she needs to be confronted and given the opportunity to voice up or seek help, it's out of control.

Caught Up with a mate recently and touched on this topic .. He reckons regularly at work a boss says he needs 2 clean people for a job and virtually everyone walks away. Said everyone knows most people are on the gear and its basically treated as a joke. I know its a massive problem but didnt realise how prevalent it is in the workplace.

I associate with some pretty dodgy characters, I've only ever seen ice once and that was about 10 years ago. I think its being blown out of proportion this 'epidemic'.

Why are you caught between rock and hard place? (is it your business )
Is it a case of mind your own business?
Does this person get the job done?
Have you pulled the individual aside and discussed how you feel and are they ok?(with sincerity)

It is totally f***** mate, petty crimes, domestic violence, just need to head to some lower economical shopping centres and see the affect it has on society.

SA is the ice capital, it is reported that 2.2% of all workers are on it at work every day along with 8% of the SA population, that is staggering and scary.

In what capacity BC?

I’m like Armchair expert as I don’t see it at all or very rarely I should say in any forms of my life.
Be it work, social, sport.

I’m not dismissing it but I just don’t see it as the huge problem it’s made out to be.

I've effectively lost two of (what were) my longest and closest friends over the past 12-18 months due to ice. Although I also separated myself from them once I realised I couldn't actually help anymore - I don't need that crap around my life and kids!

One of them just completely shut me (and other friends) out of his life, stopped answering calls and messages etc as he became so entwined in his habit.

Both of them only see their "inner group" as loyal/trustworthy people, as they all feed off each other and their habit. Have pretty much lost complete sense of reality, responsibility and time, and are crazy paranoid. Lost their jobs, turned to crime etc. Have kids as well, and have pretty much lost everything but don't care - everyone is a "dog" except those "loyal" feeding their habits.

The mother of one arrived at their house to find the kids running around naked, bath water overflowing/tap on, dogs going absolutely nuts while he was passed out with the crack pipe next to him on the lounge.

One is also now locked up because he was caught with it in his system, in a high speed chase, in a stolen car with stolen plates with kids under the age of 5 in the car (his kids).

Paranoia was also very high - one setup cameras in his house to record his partner when he wasn't home, and she did the same in return.

I could provide so much more anecdotal evidence, it's everywhere, some hide it better than others but once they get hooked it rips lives apart and the people spiral out of control at a rapid rate.

Alcohol can do the same thing as you have mentioned though Bedge.

The stat mentioned previously of 8% users in SA just seems ridiculously high to me.

I might have my head up my ar$e occasionally but I don’t see it as a bigger problem than what alcohol already is.
