You've built up a company, mortgaged your house into the company, are resonbilible for the livelyhood of X amount of people. You've spent many nights worrying about your company that you've built up, about tax returns and employee rights. You've put everything you've got into this, and god damn it, it works.
Then you go on holiday and leave someone in charge, and it turns out that he steals weed for personal use off an employee, and the kid goes to the papers/police, or tells his mates... eaither way, the company's reputation can be distroyed, all 'cus you left it in the hands of someone who likes a bit of a puff.

You've left your firm in the hands of someone who cares enough about staff morale and the reputation of the firm in the eyes of the adjacent company to have a quiet word with someone who's been having a joint outside, rather than either turn a complete blind eye (much the easiest course of action) or call the law - terrible PR and a lot of trouble for all concerned, and a waste of police time as much as anything else.
All this loyalty and concern from an employee you care so little about that you have never discharged your obligation to set up a (non-contributory) company pension despite this being the fucking LAW for a good 5 years? What a lucky, lucky man you are.

Lolawnser: Knick the weed.
Real awnser: Give him the talking-too/bollocking/whatever, delegate the resonciblity up the chain of command when he comes back, then you ain't involved any more.

That is the worst case scenario sure. I doubt Monty would be irresponsible.
