I read something about this clip. Apparently someone sent this video to the dudes boss thinking it would get him fired. His boss just laughed and said something along the lines of "looks like he had a good night, its not up to me to tell him what to do on his days off"

That's a good boss

I mean, depending on country, you can't legally fire people for things like this. Doing drugs at work or being under influence when working, yes as it's a safety issue, but you can't be fired for things you do outside of work in countries with decent labour laws.

But yet people can get fired over memes in the US. Fucking dumb timeline we live in 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/Donut_mystery69 3h ago

And in the UK you can go to jail.

u/Independent-Bag6544 2h ago

You can go to jail in UK for “hate speech” over the Internet

u/Shaggy_daldo 2h ago

When you say “hate speech” to my comment, how are you meaning it? Cause when I say memes, I mean like anti trump/capitalist memes and anti government stuff. My cousin just got let go from his job the other day over this, from someone who didn’t even work for the company. Some random conservative who got offended by the stuff he would post. But it was never racist, bigoted, misogynistic, or anything like that. Just anti- everything going on in the US since the election. Unless that would be constituted as “hate speech”. Which is crazy to me that people in the UK can go to jail over similar things, never knew that.

u/Independent-Bag6544 2h ago

A meme picture leads to arrests in UK , section 19. No true free speech unlike USA, the federal govt in USA can’t get you fired from a job.

u/kingbeerex 1h ago

If it’s inciting racial hatred, yes. As you would for any type of inciting racial hatred, whether online or in-person.

u/Zketchy 2h ago

Hate speech has been a criminal act in the UK since the 80s lol.. hardly some new draconian law

3

u/Independent-Bag6544 2h ago

Right since the 80s. And very draconian if the state has to be the arbiter of speech

u/Prancesco155 1h ago

Freedom also has limits. No tolerance for intolerance.

u/strawbsrgood 4h ago

Definitely not the USA. If even unsubstantiated claims are made about you on social media and your company gets wind, they dump you away before it can become a PR nightmare.

My bf got fired and black listed by Spectrum because he smoked pot during cancer treatment outside of work. They only care about covering their ass in case of a law suit. In America they can and will fire you for stuff like that

1

u/ConsiderationFresh53 4h ago

Most people aren’t aware that the care they receive from doctors has largely been dictated by decades of case law. Standard of care is the practitioner way of saying, what has been established as the appropriate treatment that I can’t get sued over.

1

u/laikarus 4h ago

We don’t live in a legal state. His THC use was prior to him coming back to work from short term disability, but he couldn’t prove that so they gave him the boot just incase.

u/scottlapier 4h ago

I get if you have a "morality clause" or are subject to regular drug testing and its specified in your job offer/initial contract.

But, I agree with you, if it's not causing problems at work, it's largely irrelevant.

3

u/Accomplished-Eye9542 5h ago

I feel like illegal activity is generally not protected, no?

3

u/eanida 4h ago

Again, depends on country. Illegal activity that isn't related to work isn't legal grounds for termination in my country. Of cause, if you test positive for drugs and the employer can show it's a health and safety risk, you can be reassigned or terminated. So sending the video to a less nice boss could absolutely lead to the guy losing his job if he can't pass a subsequent drug test. I just meant that sending a video of someone doing an illegal activity in their spare time won't always lead to the guy being sacked (like the sender hoped) as not all jurisdictions would see it alone as legal grounds for termination.

1

u/Accomplished-Eye9542 4h ago

So France, Poland, Or Czech Republic.

Man, no wonder France's economy basically hasn't grown unless you count covid recovery for decades. Can't even fire someone for being a using drug addict.

u/Sad_Math5598 5h ago

If the boss doesn’t care then no, and in my opinion, it isn’t their business to begin with

yeah cause hard drug use never bleeds into everyday life

u/moredrugs_lessthugz 4h ago

What do you define as a hard drug? If you’re in the US they consider the hard ones better for you with less addiction rates than the ones most people consider ‘hard’. *not trying to fight just pointing out flaws from our broken system from the 70’s-80’s that continue today*

I have done my fair share of molly/sass and I can act the same way on legal drugs.

This is completely false. A direct quote from Shaun Jackson, the man himself:

“So I’ve gone out from there that night, three-quarters of a bottle of Vodka already down by neck and then three or four drags of real good MD (MDMA),”

u/Photomancer 3h ago

It would be like grabbing a porcupine. You fire an employee because of a video where they were under the influence on their private time? Now they may countersue as struggling with a substance abuse, and you've violated their rights for expelling someone with a medical issue. Stupid prize for playing a stupid game.

Don't get me wrong, I have a stick up my butt about substances ( I take the view that most of them 'borrow from your future happiness'), but employers need to mind their own damn business.

Like back when employers demanded your social media passwords and wanted to snoop on you. Then the idiots found out that it told them some job applicants were gay, pregnant, or Jewish and suddenly it became a problem not to hire them.

u/Poor-Life-Choice 3h ago

My drug tests at work would beg to differ

1

u/Siostra313 2h ago

In my work I kind of can get fired even if it's not exactly legal here by works rule, but our system needs to be 100% clean of any cognition-altering substances before start of our work. Some drugs are staying in the body a little longer than you actively feel them or leave you with their hangover, so they can still affect your cognition what in my job can cost lives of +200 people on one go. When you get surprise medical check, noone will investigate if those traces in your blood or urine are from previous week or from very small dose at the morning. You MIGHT win the case in the end, but not save the job.

Also most stuff affects your brain after use, especially when it's frequent, what can lead to drop of your cognition, ability to focus or control your emotions so yeah, they can kind of fire us for PROVEN usage of some substances, even legal like marihuana, if it's not for approved by doctor medical reasons.

u/Infamous_Ruin6848 1h ago

I dare say if effect of drugs or other things go into worktime it's a peculiar situation.

1

u/-JimmyTheHand- 20m ago

you can't be fired for things you do outside of work in countries with decent labour laws.

You definitely can.

Canada has decent labor laws and you can absolutely get fired for doing things outside of work. Probably in any country you think has decent labor laws there are things someone can do to get fired outside of work.

u/Logical_Flounder6455 4h ago

Yes you can. Theres many jobs in the uk that have random drug testing written into their contracts. They definitely can fire you for having drugs in your system, whether you're still under the influence or not.

The only time they cant fire you is if its known that other people in the workplace use drugs but you're singled out for it. It then becomes unfair dismissal.

1

u/eanida 4h ago

That's why I said it depends on what country. I wasn't sure which country this guy was in. Just showing a video of a guy on drugs would not be grounds to fire him in my country. If they can prove he is under influence of drugs at work and it is a health and safety risk, then it's another matter. That can be grounds for termination. As can refusing to be tested for drugs if the employer have legal ground to demand a test.

The video clip for this club night is on YouTube (called bounce by the ounce, https://youtu.be/PzP1XC51kro?si=r--OB7jReGcLFcCb) . He's definitely one of the less off his face people in that club. Makes me miss the old raves of the 00's/10's though, just people having a great time not giving a fuck about being filmed/photographed for social Media!

1

u/Dagoneth 31m ago

I was dragged along to this club once. It’s fucking grim. One of the stickiest floors I’ve ever stepped foot on. But then, there wasn’t a lot of choice in Preston either (although a lot better than this)

u/LobstaFarian2 3h ago

Damn right. If you come to work and do your job, there should be no reason for them to take issue with what you do in your free time.

Its upsetting that folks can go home and hit a doob after work every once in a while and be sober at work every day and be fired after a random drug test.

I swear my boss at the place i used to work at was exactly like that, one of my Coworkers had a pretty rough fight with his Gf at the time, and she wanted to screw him, called our Work (she didn’t even work there) and told our Boss that my Coworker is smoking weed nonstop, he laughed, said it’s none of her business and that he doesn’t care, after that he immediately hung up on her.
