No they were not doing crack. Does it make it right? I am amazed by some of you that downplay this instead of condemning this type of activity. These employees not only endanger their fellow workers physically but financially as well. Any accident that happens while they are under the influence opens the company up to costly law suits. Their activities also reflect negatively on the company in the public's eye which will also cost the company financially. They are selfishly putting their fellow employees at risk.

Are you serious? Comparing gaming on your own time to the real world? In the real world it does not matter if the operator of a piece of equipment flawlessly operated his machine with 100% precision. Accidents happen. They may not be the fault of the operator. But serious accidents that happen in the work place mean the operator gets to provide a stream of his finest. If any kind of controlled substance is involved the employer is at immediate financial risk. Especially if the employer does not have a controlled substance policy in place. Clearly you have never had the pleasure of employing anyone.

I have to wonder how the "it's no big deal" guys would react if MSNBC got footage of Wall St. types, insurance executives and other white collar workers drining cocktails on their lunchbreaks. What if there was video of police workers passing a fatty? Ender W. would have an erection that would last much longer than four hours, if you know what I'm saying.

I have to find the article, but I remember hearing a story on a talk radio show a couple years ago about a book written by a former autoworker in Detroit. In his book he chronicled crazy stories about what went on inside back in the 70's, specifically I remember he said they had a bar that was set up inside and there was a female employee who turned tricks out in the parking lot for extra cash. Managment turned a blind eye to it all and in most cases participated. No one dared rat the fellow workers out for fear of their life.

Out of more than 2800 employees I bet you can find all kinds of knuckleheads.
Are you willing to extend that type of thinking to 'evil' wall street execs?

These people should be fired so that the dozens more doing this type of stuff who were not caught get a clear message that this will NOT be tolerated.
I'll be curious if the union tries to protect or defend these people. Nothing would be better for ALL involved if they would deliver a firm message to their members that this abuse hurts the American worker. It should NOT stand in the way of their dismissal. There are plenty of other laid off workers who would like those jobs.

I think we've got to remember that there are alot of college guys posting on here. And if not still in college, still have the college state of mind. Not saying that that's a bad thing, either. It's just that when you're still young like that, you tend to see things a whole lot differently than when you get older.

Personally, I think the guys in the video have too much job security and got foolish with it and definitely took advantage of it.

^^ True. However, like Hits and I posted, if there a couple guys over at Lehman Bros. they'd all be appalled by their behavior.

Maybe not the same activity, but would you trust a car built by someone who has been working for 18 hours straight in China?

Didn't think so.
