Would you report cocaine use at the Christmas party?

[Nevertime]

A member of staff was seen using and offered it to others too.

It's not something I do and I'd think it completely inappropriate. I wasn't there, but I'm not sure I'd have reported it.

It has been reported and staff member is suspended pending an investigation.

Would you have reported?

No probably not.

Absolutely not, I’d have kept my beak out. I can’t stand people who ‘report’ others.

No absolutely not.

No. If grown adults want to risk heart attacks and shit, that's on them. I wouldn't dare me at my age, even if I was so inclined.

If they were offering it to others than yes I probably would. I might have been a bit shyer if it was just them.

Sorry so as not to drip feed it was a teacher, if that makes a difference.

No I wouldn't. But I wouldn't be surprised someone else did or particularly sympathetic either.

I was going to say the answers probably depend on sector - I am public sector and conscious of our image/reputation. Pretty bad for a teacher!

Personally no I’d not report as they’re (presumably) grown adults but I certainly wouldn’t do it myself either !

Depends on your position in the company, I think.

Would be hard as a senior manager or Exec to witness that kind of 'bringing the company into disrepute' behaviour at a workplace event and turn a blind eye.

Would bring the individual's judgement into serious question.

Nope

Some of the hardest partying people I know are teachers. Presumably to drag themselves through otherwise pretty awful weeks!

No I wouldn't. I'm not the police. If I was asked about it I wouldn't lie though

Yes I would. It's illegal. Shows a pretty poor lack of judgement to be using it and offering it to others at a work event.

I’m a teacher. I wouldn’t report it if it was outside of school hours and off school property, the only exception possibly being if I knew they had travelled to the party straight from work and therefore had brought the drugs into school. If they were just doing it recreationally at a party though I wouldn’t see it as a big deal.

I probably wouldn’t but I’d be quite glad someone else did.

Nope. I would mind my own business...

Oh yes. I had a corporate job in the city in the work hard play hard 80s. Never seen anything like partying teachers until I worked in schools

A teacher? Definitely.

Unless I was part of the SLT or concerned they had an addiction issue, I'd keep my nose out. Not great they're a teacher doing coke, though sadly it's very common.

Yes, I would. Cocaine users are cunts.

@RoseRedRoseBlue

A teacher? Definitely.

As a younger teacher I can say it's very common!

Yes. Middle class cocaine use needs to be cracked down on

I have to admit I'm surprised how shocked the rest of the staff seem to be.

Yes I would.

No. They’re grown adults and can do as they please. As long as nobody was being pressured into doing it leave them be.
