So, last week a certain **** co-worker who knows I smoke but has never seen me smoke went to our supervisor and told him he "thinks" I am smoking while operating a company vehicle.
Now, the company policy is no smoking on company property OR in company vehicles. I knew this and accepted that fact when I started working there, and have never smoked on the property or in a company vehicle.
Two times a day, and my lunch break, I DO leave the property or exit the vehicle to smoke. This is allowed.
Now, after the certain **** co-worker did this and our supervisor didn't do anything about me not doing anything wrong, he went over his head and spoke with a certain clueless overpaid **** who told our supervisor that something needs to be done about this thing that never happened.
I was told that I cannot possess any tobacco products on company property or inside a company vehicle, but I may keep the aforementioned devilsticks inside my personal vehicle. I was also given a hardcopy of the company tobacco policy, which states...
Effective XXXXXX, the use and sale of all tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and smokeless tobacco) is prohibited in XXXX buildings and on XXXX properties (including vehicles whether leased or owned by XXXX).
Underlined the important bit. When I was handed the policy, I read the underlined bit to him FOUR BLOODY TIMES for emphasis. I'm considering posing for a pat-down when we are assembled for the morning meeting when and if they come back to me with the decision of whether I am allowed to carry the contraband.

This is more about the crybaby *****ing about something that never happened and me being ****ed off that the company would side with a crybaby ***** rather than attempt to prove I am violating a rule I have never violated.
edit
And it just occurred to me that I can strip down so it's easier for them to search me.

At the rate they are appeasing the crybaby, they would invent an on-the-fly rule that fake cigarettes count too.
I could, however....
Buy pipe, shred policy, sit in superior's office...it's just paper, it's not tobacco.

You could try the HR department (due to cluless **** making up policy to suit his prejucies/creating hostile working enviroment), or catch the other ****wit doing something wrong (I find ********s of that type will have something they are doing wrong and its generally not a minor thing).
Try carriying a empty packet around with you at all times. ========= "I am not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why can`t we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem fix its self |

I don't know who you are, I can't verify anything about your story, I don't even smoke, but you posted on an internet spaceship forum so I am obligated to believe and agree with you.

+1 on the E-cig.
I'm at work ATM, smoking my E-cig and trowing water vapor at the security cameras... LOL. I'm waiting for HR to tell me something at some point, since the e-cig looks darn real on camera. |

Maybe you should tell them to read there own policy.

My advice would be to see if its legal for them to dictate what personal possessions you can carry and if the personal searches where legal, if neither turn out to be legal contact your union.
You are in a union aren't you?

Clearly these cretins are oversteping the mark by treating you this way. I would ask your boss why you have been singled out for this treatment and ask for what they are asking you to do in writing.
That alone should make them think twice. If they won't provide it in writing then they are basically not willing to make this treatment of you offical and you can class it as harassment. How you deal with that is up to you.

Corporate came back and said they they aren't allowed to ban the possession of cigarettes! Thank god the hive mind actually knew what the law was.
But, too bad I didn't get strip searched.

I'm sure they'll greet you with open arms when your smoking habits are your main motivation for applying. ;-)

Quit the stupid things.
I smoked heavily for 11 years, and it was hell quitting cold turkey, thought i was dying at one point, but so worth it in the end. I don't even think of them anymore, unless i'm drunk out of my mind, and then it's just one with no craving the next day.
The best motivator is that all those hundreds of deadly chemicals are put in there solely to kill you and/or make you sick. They aren't natural to tobacco, they aren't there to add 'flavor', one or two may be as a preservative, but the rest are there to poison you, and aren't there by accident.
