:eek: I worked for a place for 3 months and when i got hired my boss told me that he didnt mind if we went to the bar on our lunch and have a few drinks he just didnt want us to come to work drunk...I didnt really think anything of it but then i noticed that alot of the people there took him off on the "drinking at work" offer. There was even a girl (a supervisor) who kept a bottle of hard liquor in her desk. The boss new about this and didnt' mind. I recently was terminated from my job about a week ago. For reasons i'm not sure. Isn't it illegal to allow drinking in the work environment???:eek:

Sure.

Not smart and certainly not professional... but it is not illegal unless that drinking is inappropriate for other reasons...

For instance, if it is a trucking company I wouldn't suggest the drivers drink. However, a three martini lunch was long a standard of the professional day for many years.

thank you, it's good to know :D

Isn't it illegal to allow drinking in the work environment???:eek:

No.

I cannot tell why you were fired. It could have been because you would not engage in the social activities. That would suck, but I can't say it would be illegal.

Not since Prohibition.
