- I'm currently visiting scenic Auburn, CA on business. The local paper had
- a big story about a local construction employer who hired a PI company to
- do a big undercover investigation on their employees' alcohol and drug use.
- At the end of the investigation they hauled in all of the suspected - not
- identified - drug users, and interrogated them. Nearly all of them broke
- down and confessed; apparently this investigation company specializes in this
- type of thing and really knew how to put the screws to them. Big dossiers
- with the employee's name stamped on the top, "We know exactly what you've
- been up to", etc. Many of the employees named other employees who were then
- hauled in and given the same treatment. Only a few had the sense to stonewall,
- deny everything, and say "Show me your evidence." Those few, with no evidence
- against them except hearsay, wound up keeping their jobs. The majority who
- confessed, whether to drinking at the lunch hour or to smoking pot at home,
- were immediately fired. The company professed sorrow at being driven to this,
- and surprise that all of the remaining employees felt totally betrayed by
- their employer.
- The connection is that they also brought in the state cops for the minority
- of cases where they had evidence of dealing, and one of the guys was busted
- (reportedly) for selling 2.4g of Ecstasy.
