Addicts are bad to work with. Their moods are all over, they take fifteen minute breaks every fifteen minutes, and they’re just basically needy.
Nicotine, gossiping, alcohol, pot, food, texting, evangelization, — it’s too easy to find people without monkeys on their backs.
I don’t hire needy victims of themselves if I can detect their sickness, and I generally can.
Sometimes the mood disorder actually pre-dates and leads to the drug use, though the drugs end up making it worse.
