Tell your boss. Then let him make the decision to go to HR or her boss. If it's obvious then it should be over after that.

Or go tell the person that reported to you to go to her boss.

Either way you need to do something because you are now in the loop.

This is a no brainer man. Tell your boss that it was reported to you. Not that you know for a fact she is or isn't, just that it was brought to you. If you do anything less than that then I hope getting blown by the office heroin addict is worth losing your job over.

If you weren't told in an email, only by spoken conversation, do nothing. If your subordinate says they told you, deny it. Your company won't take the word of a lowly subordinate over yours, right?

It was reported to you, putting the monkey on your back. Remove the monkey and put it on someone else's, who is higher on the chain of command.

You especially need to handle up on the situation if it's a protected class type person.(woman for example) Or you could get fricked on this pretty hard if you don't just go full on boyscout on this.

If she doesn't report directly back to you I would tell subordinate "What do you want me to do, I'm not her boss" and go about my business without getting caught up in the bullshite

Then I would try to pass the buck to your boss.

"Hey boss, I really don't want to get in the middle of this but I was just informed of something and thought you should know..."

Your boss may just let it slide, or may ask you to directly address it or report it to HR, but at least you will be covered from a policy stand point. May not make a ton of friends, especially with this high coworker - but hey "its lonely at the top"

It was obvious and troublesome enough for someone to mention it to you, more than likely it not going to quietly go away.

200 employee company, I'm a mid level mgr.... she does not report to me


if it were me, i'd be pissed that it was now my problem. if you are a manager, and what she is doing is a direct violation of policy, you better report it to someone.

if she gets in a wreck on the way home and they find out you knew and did nothing, it's REALLY gonna suck for you

If you have had training to recognize an employee under the influence and you witnessed (not sure from the OP is you saw it or were only told) behavior that fits those criteria, then B or D is appropriate. C may not be appropriate depending on company policy regarding chain of command unless her boss is the same level you are and you work for the same boss. A is never appropriate, IMO.

If you did not witness the behavior, you should have your subordinate report it to HR or you should that on to your boss the reporting employee as well as the employee that may be high.

good luck

She's fricked up on company time. Are YOU allowed to be tucked up on company time? Nope? Then frick her. She's not getting her work done and someone else will have to pick up the slack
