"An international company has a strong alcohol / drug policy that prohibits the use and influence of alcohol and drugs during working hours, the penalty being instant termination of employment. You are the technical services manager of the company, and one of your most hardworking and performing staff (say Musa) collapsed at work. Musa was taken to the company clinic and he was tested for both alcohol and hard drug. He tested positive to alcohol and this was formally reported to you to take a decision. You later found out that he has just lost his son a few days ago and this might have influenced his use of alcohol. What will you do?"


What answer best fit this interview question?

I won't sack him, will just give him few days off duty.

THIS AS SIMPLE AS POPCORN. YOU COULD ISSUE HIM A WARNING LETTER

Well, I will extend my deepest condolence to him based on his son's demise. I will then wait for him to be sober then discipline him according to the company's rules and regulations...
