The bosses at the office are all pretty lenient when it comes to the marijuana policy at work.
They won’t really say anything if you go to the restroom and use a vape pen.
Recreational marijuana is legal in this state, and a lot of folks use the products. The software contractor is a new company and they try to be as cool and trendy as possible. That does not mean that they will completely disregard the laws or the non-smoking rules in the employee handbook. There is an absolutely strict rule that states there is really no cigarette or marijuana smoking at all inside of the building. The smoke will cause a lot of issues to the servers and hardware and that has why cigarettes are never allowed. The contractor does allow vape pens, which is why you can get away with using marijuana vape pens too. Last week the fire alarm went off in the west side of the building. I ran to see if there was any problem. I saw smoke in the stairway. I would have believed there was a fire, although I guess that the way that marijuana aromas and the smoke was really due to someone using marijuana in the stairwell. I alerted the front desk security that someone was smoking marijuana in the stairwell. I did not assume there was a fire, although I thought they should watch the camera footage to see if all of us could figure out which employee was inside the stairwell when the smoke alarms were triggered. The employee would absolutely face some serious penalties and even possible termination after breaking the rules so blatantly.
