Re: Employee problem
Diabetes is certainly something to look into. BUT, I've nver heard of the whole puffy, red eyes thing related to that. Do you notice any other unusual habits, like going to the restroom frequently? dry mouth? excessive beverage consumption? or eating significantly more than usual? Those are strong indicators of diabetes.<br /><br />If it's drugs, I think the scenario could be something like this: Person "uses" the night before, probably doesn't get much sleep. Arrives at work going thru withdrawl symptoms. At lunch, person "uses" again and perks up, red, puffy eyes goes away since they have been awake for awhile.<br /><br />It definitely seems like an issue that need be addressed with the employee. He/she is exhibiting questionable behavior that could warrant a drug test or at the very least to be checked by a doctor for a possible medical issue. It could be dangerous, whatever the reason. Depending on their job, it could be dangerous for other co-workers, as well. i.e. An incoherent forklift driver is not a good thing.<br /><br />Or it could be a simple case of an unhealthy lifestyle, which makes it hard for them to get going on all cylinders in the morning. No exercise, poor sleeping habits, etc... some people are just plain lazy.
