What's this?

A question likely relevant to many here


Most companies have a workplace alcohol use policy. Most say consuming alcohol in the workplace or being in the workplace under the influence is a problem.

So, has anyone had their company update that policy to deal with WFH? Popping shots during the day while you're on team's calls or whatever it is you do in your underwear and dress shirt at the kitchen table is likely a bad thing to most companies, but what about after normal working hours are over and you have a beer or a bourbon while you catch up on a few emails, work on that stuff you can't get to because of all the extra time spent on calls, etc.? Like most things, grey area between good and bad is usually where people and companies end up in legal issues.
