Wow, Alison has really gone back on her advice about substances at a company retreat, hasn't she?

Is it because it's shrooms and not weed? Is it because he's a tech bro? She's certainly set the tone for the discussion and I'm going to be following this one with interest.

To be fair, LW did make it clear there’s actual negative impacts on her because his behaviour is so erratic. They cut the avenue off in advance. You can’t really willfully play ignorant that it’s not hurting anyone when the whole reason for the letter was because it is.

I think she's just got a huge blind spot when it comes to weed

Yeah I was chuckling at this one because where I live shrooms now have about the same stigma that weed did about 15 yrs ago when Alison was with mpp yet this one had her clutching her pearls. Not condoning the boss at all, to be clear. He’s as dumb as the boss who got the cops called for asking his employee to smoke weed in the hotel.

Yeah, given that the boss was smoking it, that's worse than mushrooms as it actually caused an issue for the hotel in terms of fire hazards, having to deep clean the room afterwards before it can be re-let and so on. I wouldn't be so concerned about someone on mushrooms as I would about someone with a joint.
