Take the bastards down with you.
Boss and co-worker were both heavy pot users. This was evident the first time co-worker (let's call him Adam - a 20-something sales rep.) came into my welding bay to smoke a can bong. And then the 15 odd times he came back to do it each and every day. Apparently my bay was perfectly shielded from the offices' view. Most of the time I only really noticed due to the smell as I was usually head down bum up working on a jig with headphones and a discman with some Fugazi or Jarre blistering my eardrums. As a former pot smoker myself I could usually smell the boss (yeah, name & shame and all that - Justine - our somewhat haggard 50-something accounts manager) coming back from the toilets reeking of having just blown a spliff.

It seems that pot smokers gravitate towards each other because soon enough Adam and Justine were taking breaks in my cubicle to discuss the jig I was working on. Clearly they couldn't go to the dunny together so I was it. Or so it seemed. Again most of the time I acknowledged their presence but basically due to my workload and the fact that I had my headphones on at work with Painters And Dockers or Consolidated pumping through them for at least 8 hrs a day. I never really said much else - it was kinda annoying but then I'm a jig-monkey doing $15/hr. in a large factory, wtf did I care if they get caught. I did ask them a few times not to leave their canbongs in my bin cause I didn't want the cleaner to think it was me smoking and dob me in.

Then about a month later the big boss calls me into his office. He asks me if I know anything about a supposed affair between Adam and Justine. I looked at him incredulously and said "No." He didn't believe me and told me I can clear out my bay and payroll would work out my final paycheck. So as a parting shot I told him that I was a heavy pot smoker (I knew they had left more than a few canbongs in my bin recently - I even had to explain to him what a canbong was!) and suggested that he needed to make sure others weren't doing the same. Cue mandatory drug testing for the entire factory.

About a month or so after that I came across Adam at a pub. I was getting a nice union wage at a site welding for the FUCKU at the time. Apparently him and Justine and a few other people lost their jobs due to the drug tests.

It's a good thing that job's not on my CV, right?

Shambo is a dobber to the mods btw.

I fail to see how I didn't do
my "job properly".
Maybe I should have lied about their supposed affair?

Again reaching, trolling and bullying. Interestingly your mate couldn't wait to join in. Says a lot about the two of you I think.

You're letting people into a welding area, full of dangerous shit to do something that will make their dangerous job more dangerous and did fuck all about it.
No welder worth their entry onto the sex offenders register does that.

like he was ever trusted with anything hotter than a teapot
his job was to empty the bins and tell the boss if he found anything dodgy

Not entirely sure I'm up to speed with the backstory here
However.... I do notice you have a fondness for using the word "interestingly".
Look up the meaning. Never use it again. You honestly won't need it.

Other than that - as you were.

This story is improved immeasurably,
