Is everyone else tired of this clown constantly making up fake stories about work?

Pull out a flask on the down low, but make sure he catches you. Tell him that you need a little knock every once in a while and see if he commiserates with your drinking on the job. Offer him a knock, fire him when he takes you up on the offer.

I don't know I kinda enjoy watching him pretend to be an executive while constantly proving he has no idea how the executive level works

The state of this!

This is why executives have henchmen do their dirty work.

Level up, big guy.

Executive VP. This guy is director level in sort of a sole position so already hard to track as is due to him being on his own a lot.

Call the police and give them the car description like 10 min before he leaves. That way you can have him unemployed AND having to pay huge fines and mess up his life.

Chances are, you're wrong and he is straight and you don't like him.

Pull him aside and ask him. Or at least ask if he's feeling ok and say you've noticed he sometimes seem a little off, red in the face, speech a little different.

If he is that conversation should be enough to end the issue and change his behavior. If not he's got a much more serious problem than you know.

Maybe he's not drinking, maybe it's a medical issue, Low blood sugar can present as a person is drunk. They even can get this kinda sweet smell on their breath that can resemble alcohol

But definitely get the official HR stance on how to proceed but keep his name out of it until you have a better feeling of whats going on.

I had to fire an employee for drinking Dr Tichner’s (sp?). He was furious because he said it was for a bad tooth. HR told him to bring a dentist’s excuse to drink that shite on the job.

Why even deal with it? it's your company. The fact that you are having to deal with this at all is a problem. Fire him. He's only been there 8 months. Find someone else to do his job.

Burger King hired you to lead an exciting crew. It's time you actually do your job.

We have a big, shared parking garage so can’t really watch or monitor him for proof or evidence. Ive searched his office after hours as well, but nothing.



If hes drinking on the job hes been at it for a while.

He will not leave anything in the office. it will be on or around him at all times.

Does he carry a backpack?

Water bottles or any cups from home?
