I work for a pretty small company and was recently promoted to an area well beyond my knowledge, ability, or understanding.
They’re being extremely patient with the huge learning curve I’m under but the issue isn’t my lack of understanding or ability to learn, it’s that the supervisor they are having me train with is always on some substance while at work. I’ve seen him pop two pills given to him by another co-worker, they were stimulates. He also smokes weed in his car on his breaks. I worked private security for a number of years and I know when someone is fucked up.
Thing is I’m not anti-drug at all. My issue is that he cannot function or relay information when he’s like this making it impossible for me to learn anything.
I’m at my wits end since this seems to be a work culture problem and no a just one person problem. I don’t how to even start to address this issue. If I go to management, I’m instantly a narc and that’s what I’m trying to approach this.
Any suggestions out there? I would rather not have to find a new job since I have a felony conviction and it’s impossible to find work in the U.S. but working under my current situation is absolutely tanking my mental health.
