Need advice on reporting something at work
   
I work for a municipality in Ca. Last night, I was the last to leave the office and when I went to the restroom, I smelled pot either smoked in there or previously smoked by someone who just stepped in. Since we have people in my department who operate vehicles and heavy equipment, it's a VERY serious matter. If I tell my boss, he will immediately do what he can to figure out who it was. Part of me feels like I should say something but at the same time, I did not witness anything. What would you do?

No replies yet but I can imagine what is forth coming.

3. Don't stir up an inquisition.
   
The person doing the smoking had probably already finished work and was just having his/her 'after work cocktail'.

Yeah never mind it is an illegal substance at work and he or she probably was getting into a car and driving home.

How is this even ambiguious?? They operate machinery for crying out loud. Somebody could lose a hand or die. The DUmmie knows this and he is still worried about whether to tell or not. I am sure the trail has already run cold. He should have informed the boss on the spot not 3 days later after you polled some online weirdos.

This is an issue of "public safety" and we are all the "public" are we not??

If they want "government" healthcare then they have a responsibility to keep prices lower for the "people" by helping to do this. I am sure he wouldn't want to let these drug users burden society.

okay, he might.

It would be funny if a supervisor saw this DUmmie coming out of the restroom and went in behind it and smelled the dope.

The campfire is about 80% in favor of just letting it go.  "Don't be such a prude."  These are the same people who scream endlessly ad nauseum about Rush being a "drug addict."

That is more likely what really happened....he's now hoping the DUmmies will give him some ideas for a cover-your-ass lie.

Good idea! Ask a bunch of weed smokin', dilapidated hippies, whether or not you should turn one of them in! Good call DIpshit!

Exactly. DUI is DUI no matter how "nuanced" you try to make it.

4. Nothing. Unless you have more info than you now have, it will only cause grief
   
and problems.

Kind of like yelling "fire" in a theater.

How do you know it was an employee going out to "operate vehicles and heavy equipment?" Could have been someone on their way home. Or a visitor.

Don't be such a prude.

Oh great - so they're about to get in a big heavy motorcar and get on a public road.

This is why you're called DUmmies.

I wonder what the replies would have been if the DUmmie had detected the evil "tobacco" smoke?

Or if he had walked into the bathroom and *gasp* someone had left conservative literature type pamphlets in there.  I'm sure they'd be screaming for them to find out who it was and have them fired!
