The boss, the manager, and the people around the office are pretty lenient when it comes to the marijuana policy at the office, because nobody truly says anything if you go to the restroom and use a vape pen.
Recreational marijuana has been legalized and a lot of people use the products.
The software company is a new one and they try their best to be as hip and trendy as possible. That doesn’t mean that they can completely disregard the law or the rules in the employee handbook. There is a truly unbreakable rule that states there is absolutely no cigarette or marijuana smoking at all inside of the work building. The smoke can cause a lot of concerns to the servers and hardware and that’s why cigarettes and cigars aren’t even allowed. The company does allow vape pens, which is why you can use a marijuana vape pen too, then last month the fire alarm went off in the west side of the work building. I ran to see if there was a problem. I saw smoke in the stairway. I would have believed there was a small fire, but I suppose the way that marijuana odors and the smoke was truly due to someone smoking marijuana in the stairs. I alerted the front desk security that someone was using marijuana in the stairwell. I could not believe there was a fire, but I thought they should check the camera footage to see if the pair of us could figure out which employee was in the stairwell when the smoke alarms got triggered. The employee would definitely face dire penalties and possible termination after breaking the rule so blatantly.
