For sure! In most organizations, corporate management is a case study in varying degrees of mental illness and dysfunction. Now that I'm out I often think about how preposterous it was. I had one director who actually told me she was a "pottery whore" while we were in line waiting for the microwave. She must've read the dismay on my face and quickly added, "I can't go past a pottery shop without stopping in." There was also a mid-level manager who hid a bottle of vodka in her drawer and was visibly drunk more often than not. Management knew but did nothing because she'd been there so long she had knowledge that no one else did. I could go on. Hmm, I think this is a good idea for a blog post. : )
We have had drunks! In fact they have proved to be the ones that are the hardest to get rid of. Mainly because they were old timers like you say with a wealth of knowledge and also because our HR has to pussy foot around people with issues because they have gotten into trouble before from not following process and just kicking them out!
I think that is a very good idea for a blog post!
