WRONG. If you abuse drugs, it can impact the company. What if you drive a
corporate automobile under the influence and you kill someone? IF you
smoke crack every night, chances are 100% that you will do it at work.
You know that if your company has deep pockets, some lawyer will go after
the company.
I remember reading the history of the Ford Automobile Company. Henry had
a group of people that would visit you at home and see if you led a
proper lifestyle. Be glad we do not have that going on these days.
