You obviously didn't work for a Japanese company, as the consequences would have been far less serious.<br /><br />I take your point about a lunchtime visit to the pub; although given my current propensity for struggling to keep my eyes open, of an afternoon, a beer during my lunch break would not be a good idea. This is despite there being no official sanctions, by the company, against lunchtime drinking. <br /><br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-57435090554914123512022-10-04T05:27:07.198+01:002022-10-04T05:27:07.198+01:00"I have been known to nod off at work on the ..."I have been known to nod off at work on the odd occasion, which could end up being doubly embarrassing".<br />I nodded off at work eighteen years ago, and I had NOT been to a pub at lunchtime, and got suspended on a charge of "gross misconduct", an allegation that was eventually disproved.
