...when confronted about his failed drug test, admitted that his friend who provided the sample promised that the urine was clean!

Can't trust anybody these days.

yes almost everyone has some sort of drug/addict problem that effects their work performance.

Those habitually tardy or leaving early,
those who take OTC’s or chronic coffee or bathroom breaks,
those over hyper on energy drinks and such,
those over sleepy brain not up to speed,
those with eating issues, worry issues or such that makes them susceptible to being sick a lot,
those constantly making personal calls (hubby or kids, etc), texting and such
those regularly surfing the internet at work or doing other such things that is not work related

When I started in the workforce, work time was work time and if you did not do a good job, they let you know and found a replacement for you.

Today people think they are entitled to a job, but show up with all sorts of habitual addictive issues that regularly interfere with their true work/performance.
Many don’t even care that they are stealing from their employers, maybe not materially, but time, lost productivity and such.

I can’t take credit for the druggie work force concept first implied on this thread. That goes to the author of the article.
