Are suspected functional alcoholics pretty accepted in workplaces?

10 December 2025 @ 11:55 pm

I work with a guy who is very passionate about his job and very good at it. But his breath smells of mint with a hint of alcohol and he has a florid complexion. I most smell the whiff of alcohol first thing in the morning. I have never mentioned this to any colleagues, but I strongly suspect he is a functional alcoholic. But he does his job well, so not really any of my business. I have worked before with someone who was clearly a functional alcoholic. And my observation is that this behavior seems to be pretty accepted in the uk. Do you think that is true? submitted by /u/Extra-Sound-1714 to r/AskUK [link]

People who were spanked as kids, what was that like for you? Would you call your "spankings" abuse?

I had to flee my city back in 2019 and change my name due to honour based violence. Police and Karma Nirvana assisted me with this at the time. My employer has announced two weeks ago that their business is moving to this city and all staff will be paid to relocate.

I've spoken with my employer. They weren't aware of my situation when they were planning this move, but they can't afford to back out now as they have already signed rental agreements and made other changes. Employees are all being paid very well to relocate to this city. We're talking relocation packages in the 5-figure level. I've been advised by detectives back in 2024 that it was still unsafe for me to return. What I'm concerned about is that I'm going to lose my job purely because I cannot return here. My job cannot be done remotely. It's a role where I am practically doing something with my colleagues in a lab. Sorry for being vague about what it is, I can't really reveal too much for my safety. What, practically, does this mean for me? I can't safely attend this city. I can't refuse to work or I'll be fired. Am I literally just being forc

Witnessesed a weird bag swap on the tube - thoughts?

10 December 2025 @ 8:27 pm

Sat on the first carriage of the Lizzy line. Pulls into Liverpool street. A women with Tesco bag for life which looked pretty full got off the train. As she got off, she gave the bag to another women who then got on the train. No words spoken. No smiles, nothing. Just a bag swap. The new women got on the train with the bag and carried on as normal. I cannot figure out what this means but I'm very invested in figuring out what they were doing.
