Drunk VP. How to manage?
I joined a new team recently and I’m pretty sure one of the VPs I’m working under is drinking in the office. At first I thought it was just the way he talked. But the other day he walked up to my desk to give me instructions and he could hardly get a sentence out. His speech was so slurred and staggered that it was quite obvious he was drunk. It was in the morning.
They’re also starting to act a bit erratically, like forgetting what they instructed and how they staff work. I’ve never dealt with anything like this before. Our group is transaction heavy with lots of client requests so maybe that’s how they’re getting through the day? Idk. Not going to HR because that would be a disaster. No one has said anything so I won’t either and will have to be more careful around documentation.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
Get drunker than him
Does your group have a COO type position?
What exactly is your concern?
You have no knowledge of what goes on at that level, so perhaps hold judgement and mind your business, frankly.
Because I don’t want to start getting blamed for his drunk mistakes
I mean that's valid.. you'll figure it out. Just don't snitch - i'd bet it turns out not in your favor.
This country used to be great. Now a 3 martini brunch gets you reported to HR.
Blame it on all the white women (mostly woke) you paraded to the front row through gender quotas. The ultimate karens
u sound like no fun
rip shots together and have a good time?
Yeah bro let me just rip some shots at 10:30am in the office
Why not take some initiative? Your MBA associate would be so dissapointed
OP sounds like a pussy.
get a testicular transplant bc urs clearly aren't working properly
Maybe he has to drink to be able to deal with pussies like you
