Malcolm Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 So? In any large company you are going to have some employees doing the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 So? In any large company you are going to have some employees doing the same. By "any" do you mean "every"? That's a pretty broad brush you're painting with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 In Germany workers get their beer break as part of lunch. Their cars don't seem to suffer for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islander Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I wonder if their wage agreement/contract actually says "workers shall not consume alcohol or other intoxicants during rest periods", or something else to that effect? You would think workers would not need to be told that they're required to be sober during their shifts, but if it's not actually spelled out in the contract, management may be limited in their available responses. With many companies, they would only be able to set up alcoholism or drug counselling. If the economy was doing well and all the workers were needed, the company would find it cheaper than hiring and training new workers, but in this economy, it might be seen as a handy way to get rid of some dead wood, as well as serving as an example to the workers who hide their habits better than these stooges.

germerikan Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 In Germany workers get their beer break as part of lunch. Their cars don't seem to suffer for it. Alas that was the past, sometimes in Bavaria it is still so. Everywhere else is beer a no no during working hours, although 1 with your lunch usually is not a problem, depends on the company.
