Boeing actually has a pretty enlightened policy regarding employee
behavior when its not driven by company politics.

Again, on company time and with company resources? BTW, when is any
thing in a large corporation not driven by company politics. ;-)

Well, there's always the possibility that the frisky, frolicking,
happy employees were actually more productive than the repressed,
dour, sad people that you seem to think are necessary to "proper
functioning" of a business.

In fact, I have an anecdote, second hand, of course - this guy
said that he once supervised the second shift at some assembly
company. Everybody there was a pothead, so when first shift went
home, they'd lock the doors, spark up, and consistently beat
the day shift's production numbers and quality. :-)

OK, I can hear it already - "If the guy was a pothead, how did
he remember their production numbers?" ;-)

Cheers!
