And I hope you will also take on board the feedback that YOU need to improve your knowledge of how to manage - and that includes having appropriate processes in place to support performance management.

Employing people comes with responsibility - their careers and livelihood depend on you getting it right.

If you walked onto any number of factory shops floor smelling of alcohol from the night before, you are liable to be dismissed. I suspect you have very limited experience of a lax employer if they accepted this as normal behavior.

Machinery, hand tools and forklift trucks are all dangerous enough without pie eyed employees being around.

The symptoms of a hangover, which generally include: headache, dehydration, stomach ache, sickness, and hot/cold sweats, I feel unavoidably effect performance.

not normal behaviour, occasional behaviour. i can only go on my experience and i have never witnessed a negative impact on a persons performance.
