If you were caught with marijuana at work, would you be put on paid leave? Probably not, but that’s because you don’t work at the Environmental Protection Agency where one employee got six months of paid leave after being indicted for pot possession.
“The employee was placed on administrative leave on March 17, 2014, after being arrested, jailed and indicted for possession of marijuana,” according to an EPA inspector general report on the agency’s administrative leave practices.
The IG noted the EPA gave the employee a total of 7.5 months of administrative leave — well over the 10 days of leave for those suspected of committing a crime are supposed to get under agency guidelines. More troubling, there is “no documentation in the file explaining the deviation from policy or how the terms of the settlement agreement were arrived at.”

no names ..geez barricade yourself after fight with wife and name gets plastered
My employer caught me smoking a joint out behind the office on lunch. He joined me lol. Never would have guessed he was a pothead, dudes 52yo, wife, 2 kids, nice house and cars. Just likes to cut loose.
So, not only did the employee get a year paid without actually working but he/she got the retirement package he/she would have lost if he/she had been fired as he/she should have been! No wonder the government is such a mess!
Everyone Does it.
Sorry, 10:33, not everybody does it. In 46 years I have never smoked a joint or a cigarette, tried crack or heroin or gotten drunk. Sorry, I have more lasting things to spend my money on!
Must be a nun
1:17 Sounds like the life of the party. Single, too. No doubt.
