Victim blaming.
Doctor prescribes too much of an opioid medication and the patient becomes hooked. Then the doctor doesn't have a plan for getting the patient off the meds, so the patient turns to street drugs to soothe their addiction.
Eventually the person is kicked to the curb by society because there is no help for them to get off the meds. Insurance doesn't cover rehab, or methadone or the lost wages from taking time off to recover from addiction.
It's bullcrap and and American adults are dying from LEGAL drug addiction every day.
Next time you see a used hypodermic needle on the ground, don't get mad at the addict. Get mad at Purdue Pharma and the Sackler family. They are who brought this whole problem in the first place!8 -

What’s reason for the cry - Is there a time where a cry is reasonable and said cryer is given a pass?? Say they found out a close family member died ?? Or should all crying be held until said coworker has exited the building ??3 -

Using the thumbs up as an affirming gesture.
There's even an emoji for it, despite it not being universal. It is actually akin to raising your middle finger in many different countries.5 -

In my last job (supervisor), one particular employee would race in every morning 5 minutes before his shift was due to start, go in the men's room, drop a huge bomb, try to flush and about half the time it wouldn't. Sometimes he would tell me, sometimes he wouldn't. Either way, eventually I had to deal with it.2 -
