[Spirit]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say there's more to the story than this.  But, ummm ... yeah.

Lol, there is nothing in the pot law that says employers can't fire people for coming to work high.  Sounds like someone that just wants some press.

who's the CEO?  Towelie?

[gotbeer]

If you read the article I can see it.  Canning 25 sculptors in a 47 person company leaving only 5 sculptors left.  Don't blame them for moving.  

[Blarg]

The owner is a guy that wants to make a profit. You can't do that with what he described as "the difference in employees work when they were high, and he says they were just not as productive and had an "it's good enough" attitude."

[Hollyw00d]

they were probably losing a fortune in company meals as well

Are you guys having this issue at Adobe?

[Blarg]

Hack journalist. 

 

At least get a quote of the guy directly stating he thinks the downfall of his shitty business was because of pot legalization.  That's the very least you have to do as a journalist to justify the last 3 sentences of the article.  

 

"The main reason we pulled out was because of marijuana, " Brawner said. "Marijuana got into our industry. Half of the sculptors will come in high. As soon as we'd catch it, they'd be let go. We went through 25 sculptors. Only five of [our sculptors] either were quality or would show up unimpaired."

 

I think this is the quote you were looking for.

"Only five of [our sculptors] either were quality or would show up unimpaired."

 

How many of the 5 were actually quality and how many just were unimpaired and didn't do quality work?

[Blarg]

No, it's not.  

 

Then your ability to connects dots needs some help. He has lived in Colorado his entire life, built a business there and only recently has had employee problems due to excessive marijuana usage. Only recently was the law put into affect. Cause/Correlation doesn't require quotation.

It wasn't the work that suffered, it was the cost associated with the need to hire additional janitors to pick up all the empty Doritos bags on the floor.

I would think being high you could make better scary creations. Maybe he wanted a 20 eyed spider wolf and all they could produce was a fork in the road. 

[Crampknees]

Moving to South Carolina this will be his first scary creation

The real problem was that they couldn't keep the snack machine stocked.
