this is technically my first week as supervisor. ive been lead man and doing the same thing for almost 2months now but official as of this week. anyways we're short 4guys so that leaves me on first a grunt doing all of 3rd shift this week. well i got a guy to come in and ive been training him. hes already been late twice this week but i covered for him being the nice guy. so today its like 1pm im outside smoking a cig and see a box i didnt throw away. so i go to throw it away behind the building and theres the new guy standing in the back doorway. he turns around with a bag and pipe in hand. lol long story short he admitted he had weed but said he wasnt smoking. even though after i seen him i walked back out front and kinda eyed him from the corner and watched him continue to smoke for 5min. once he came back around i told him he was working hard at getting fired. and proceded go through the channels and get the paper work to fire him. the end

How can he expect him to follow the rules at work if he can't even obey the law, people like him don't deserve to live.

It was at work *******. If he can't wait to go home and do it, then as a boss it becomes MY LIABILITY. Fuck that.

Mean? Who cares if he smokes the joint? Very professional, I can't wait till you run your business! Anyways you really did not fire him, you are only a supervisor, normally supervisor does not have any privileged in firing anyone, most likely the upper management/hr did the firing. You just snitched, but it's the right thing.

I think you should both be fired for not being able to work without smoking. Have a little self control and at least wait until you get off work.

I used to smoke weed with my managers at break at several jobs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif. However, with where I work now you would have to be pretty f*cking stupid to get high during work.

Smoking cigs isn't illegal nor does it affect your judgement or motor skills like pot. If it was his break time then having a cigarette outside isn't the same or near the same as reefer on the property. Now I have fired those skating into the bathroom for cigs when they should be on the floor.
