Vapes in office
I have a raging nicotine addiction and am good at sneaking in hits. What would happen if I get caught vaping in the office as an intern?

Just zyn bro
This
go to the restroom or the balcony
Stop being a loser...?
Hopefully you will be fired for being a piece of $hit. Not only is it a dick move it is illegal.
call the police!
The issue is that the Company itself can be fined because OP is an idiot.
Never would've guessed calling someone out for being a piece of trash could be so controversial.
because really at the end of the day vaping is really not that big of a deal to the younger crowd. And about 20% of the college population vapes.
What are you like 30? That’s the weak gen. See. When you were born banking was booming and traders would work with cigars in their mouth
I'd do it in the restroom or try to cut down on how much you need... used to be more common/basically acceptable at work, but people look at vapes like cigs these days, I see very few in the office post-covid. If some senior happens to see and doesn't like you vaping in the office they could easily kill a return offer.
Ngl this is a pretty stupid question, literally just use common sense. Don’t hit it in office, walk outside if you have time and do it there.
At a BB right now, and have been hitting the Juul non stop. No one cares as long as you’re grinding and putting out good work.
Senior analysts turning the bullpen into a cotton candy flavored sauna after MDs leave.
(Clearly this doesn't happen, gives me a laugh thinking what if though)
You're right. bullpen is to open. that's why hotbox the conference room
Anyone here ever smoke an occasional joint w/their fellow analysts? Assuming that there’s some THC lovers on this thread
Just like on the roof top?
Nah I just meant in general lol. Like with people from work
Nice try HR
No one smokes pot in IB
Been taking constant, blatant (no clouds, just not hiding it) hits in the office since last year. Not single person has cared, including MDs
Maybe try using the nicotine patches and wean off the addiction.
(yelled from the back) LAME!
If your addiction is so bad you will risk getting fired from an internship, then you should be asking how to quit, not how to get away with it.

Use zyn or on. Less obvious, MDs won't get pissed off at you and it's less bad for you than vaping.
Everyone in my group does it. If it’s before 5-6pm (when senior bankers are still at the office), just go to the bathroom. Nobody will be counting the number of times you pee. If past 5-6 I’d say it playfully to the other junior folks. Most of them won’t care.
Everyone does it. People hit the weed too
There's another VP who vapes all day everyday (did as an associate too). If you were to swipe his screen with your finger, there would be vape residue all over it. Also about 20 empty Juul/vape pods scattered around his desk, its just gross. Nice guy though, just weird.
Sounds like an animal. We need more people like this chap
lmao in the first week of the internship half the interns in my group ran into each other in the bathroom trying to hit their vapes, great bonding experience. Took me back to the bathroom hotboxes during senior year of high school when juul took off.
I think older MDs might not care especially if you’re a grinder. VPs and older associates will care. They’re completely soft. Their generation sucks.
A newly promoted associate I knew would rip all day no cares given.
I got ripped a new one by a young director at an internship once. Almost got fired. 27-45 people are very soft like. They’re the ones who put an end to it I think. They like wearing funky shoes and plaid sport coats as well.
In RBC M&A its common place
Lol literally no one cares, I personally hold it in so I’m not signaling the Apache of my camp site for the night, but have locked eyes with an MD mid-rip and just could tell he was ashamed for me lol. Everyone is aware I do it, but I don’t make a spectacle of it and hunker in my cube. Godspeed Darth Vaper.
Sneaking hits at the office can be super tempting, but getting caught could definitely land you in hot water, especially as an intern. Employers usually have strict policies about vaping, including electronic cigarettes, so it’s not worth risking your job over it.
