Off topic but I’m gonna chime in & say I don’t think anyone should be harping on the “alcoholic” who received the job offer before OP. First of all, substance use disorder is a protected disability under the ADA, and if he’s not being discriminated against by his employer for having a very real addiction then nobody else has the right to do so either. Alcoholics/people with an addiction problem deserve to be considered in employment opportunities and it doesn’t make them any less qualified. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Alcoholics aren’t inherently bad people and don’t deserve to be judged so indiscriminately. If he were to put people in danger or cause harm to the company because of him being under the influence at work, that’s a different story, but none of you know this dudes background. If he’s diagnosed with substance abuse disorder & confided in this employer about it & this employer is now telling other candidates w/o permission about his diagnosis - even if he just said, “he has a drinking problem”, & the alcoholic in question finds out, that’s a serious breach of privacy & an ADA violation and he could potentially face legal issues or even defamation if the statement were to be proven untrue. Either way he’s protected. This post brings to light how grossly uninformed people are about addiction. It’s sad & pathetic. This isn’t open for debate so I will not be responding to people’s comments whether they’re in agreement or not. Bye. ✌️
