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.

There is also the possibility that the company is going to get their
ass sued off if they don't keep "frisky and frolicking" in check.
Not to mention the SO crap added on n th epast few years.

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. :-)

So *they* thought. Someone gets injured and management is in deep
***!

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

How did the boss keep his job? *I* would have fired his ass, if not
for just the liability exposure he put the company in.
