alot of slacking was involved in training People bad mouth eachother A female colleague was asked by a new employee what kind of drunk she is and she had said "I don't know a happy drunk" the new employee that still works there replied "well I'm a horny drunk " I personally don't think that is appropriate for a workplace.., or even for a public place that's kind of off putting There was lots of negative feedback about certain individuals that kept buzzing around.common areas
