Your employer has rules. There are also laws to follow.

If you abide by them you have your job and you stay out of legal trouble. If you ignore them because you think you're above them or they're rules you disagree with, prepare for the consequences.

Fred Davis has already gotten many more chances than many of us would have received in our own jobs...a company would probably fire someone who is on drugs, sleeps on the clock and misses as many days as he reports to work. He's blown his chance at having his dream job. I don't understand why so many people want to defend this slacker and screw-up. I guess they just want that type of behavior to be acceptable so they can do the same without being accountable for their actions.

We actually want rape, dog killing, and bringing guns to clubs to be acceptable as well - they're all rules so they should be treated the same.

The point is that all rules aren't created equally. He should be punished, but a ban from the game for smoking some pot is a bit much. Someone with the talent of a Fred Davis is a little bit harder to replace in his field of work than many of us are in ours.
