Motivation_Follows_Action Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 It's a shame pill addiction is so pervasive that so many small business owners have to deal with it routinely. Seriously, he's right. Half the world is fucked up on pills because it's too easy. Proud of the QA team today for not being part of such a growing problem. Stay strong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quit-once Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 MFA are you serious? I just watched that whole video. And it ends with the druggie threatening suicide after he was fired. That boss was a FUCKING ASSHOLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motivation_Follows_Action Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I didn't hear the suicide bit, but I do think this boss did and said the right things - he clearly experienced a lot of the negative impacts of drug use on him and his business and family. I think it's unfair and selfish the way some addicts expect to be helped, when it's them who got themselves in to this situation. He's a tough guy, sure. But I think the way he handled this situation is correct. What else will get through to this drugged up guy? I'm not normally a tough love supporter. But this drug abuser needed to have a mirror up to his face that this is his rock bottom and he needs to get help. The boss can't be held responsible for his suicide, if that's indeed what he did (and don't get me wrong I sincerely hope he didn't), the guy needed to realize he can't continue to operate as a functional human being while being in a headlock with pills.

Greg Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 at first when i watched this i saw it from MFAs point of view, and now Im thinking about the boss's tone and im thinking about it from quit-once's point of view. Im not sure anymore! But he sure did make some good points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
