[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 388534, member: 4264"] I would do my best to ignore as much as possible. However, if a conversation is one-on-one and this guy makes a direct comment about his (or boss's) drug use to you, I think it is entirely appropriate to say something like "I feel uncomfortable hearing about comments any type of illegal drug use. Especially about people I work with every day. It also could put me in a awkward position if ever directly asked by a superior regarding suspected drug use by specific employees. It would be better for both of us if this remains a topic off the table of conversation ok?" As for difficult child, I wouldn't mention it at all to him. No influence on him will occur that way. And sometimes in adult working situations, we run across this koi and I'm sure some people would quickly report these guys, most of us would sensibly just want to not hear anything further and move on. Afterall, in this job market, most of us wouldn't want to rock any boat or make enemies at work. Jobs are a precious commodity right now. Sorry you have to listen to this ****. I would 100% make sure this is mentioned if he brings up the talk again about how to transport drugs on a business trip!!! Beyond making sure somehow he gets that you don't want to hear about it, I would keep it so far under your hat it never comes out again. It is very unfair that he has put you in position to know something like this. I do hope that it doesn't affect his work performance. Other than that, sometimes you have no choice for self preservation to just turn a blind eye. The only reason I'd ever bring it up again is if something drastic occurs to affect the job that jeopardizes the company etc. [/QUOTE]
