    with one executive describing the event to the outlet as “nonsensical,” “unhinged” and “cringeworthy.”

    This is different from normal?

    Also:

    SpaceX also began cracking down on illegal substances at the company by bringing in drug-sniffing dogs, sources told The Journal.

    How much do you want to bet those dogs are never allowed up in the executive suites?

      What kind of company has such a bad drug problem that they need to bring in dogs to find it? Absolutely ridiculous.

          In normal corporate environments I’ve seen people abuse everything from codeine headache tablets to crystal meth.

          Not defending Edolf Twitler, I’m just saying it’s not unusual for these environments to be so toxic that people look for ways to manage.

            I don’t find the drug use abnormal so much as them bringing in drug sniffing dogs to catch it rather than dealing with it on an individual basis.

              Probably less for actually finding drugs than for checking a tickbox on an insurance form for “taking measures to combat drugs” or something. It’s probably just Ricky from HR’s dobie-doodle mix.

      Well the smart money can only go inverse, and tripling down with a “I’ll see your bet and raise it 500%” that a drug dog absolutely will find a shit ton of drugs in the executive areas. I’d take out the largest loan I possibly could, then go to a loan shark and do a blood contract, and absolutely muster every possible cent I possibly could after whoring my own ass out, on THAT bet.
