Ecstasy hurts productivity.

Looks more like Cy was hitting on Mike!!

Alex heaves a Cy of relief…

Yes, Mike, you are trying to run a business, and one day you might get the hang of it. Meanwhile, let Kim and Alex and Cy and the other people with skills and knowledge actually run ‘your’ business.

E will do that…

I agree! Throw the bum out! ☺️

So, a progression from “boyfriend” to “lover”. Nice.

We are stardust…

“I love you, man!”???

He probably won’t remember being fired and will show up soon.

Raves huh? Feels more like the 90’s to me ;-)

Which one was working in the middle of the night?

“I love you, man.”

It’s possible to get a little TOO wrapped up in Star Trek…..

You could have let him pee in a cup, Mike. Maybe he was just nuts, not stoned.

Mike has become his crotchety, hung-up father.

Based on what Cy said, Mike should have transferred him to Marketing instead.

So long as people turn up to work on time and sober, what they do out of work time is legally their own business. Mike visiting an employee outside work hours and uninvited could get him a huge fine at the very least. Bring on the unfair dismissal case. Does the USA also have a Fair Work Ombudsman like we have?
