This is a great line. Thank you for making me snort (not cocaine) out loud this morning...

When I was still taking classes in grad school, one of the guys in my department was well-known for extreme self-medication with drugs and alcohol. He was a PhD student as well (still is, as far as I know), but it was less a matter of ragging on him and more wanting to help him out of that hole. I guess things would have been different if our work depended on his, but we were all working independently. If he had been in a supervisory position, I think I would have gotten too frustrated and said something to someone, or gone the anonymous-letter route.

Are there any HR people here who could speak to the issue?
