You should have probably gone to HR about that. Without an explanation, the behaviour reflects poorly on you for something your coworker did which was not only illegal, but extremely immoral. You do not give someone drugs without their knowledge or consent! Wtf! You know he only took you to the hospital to protect himself. I would not feel safe working in the same space as him.
Yeah, of course. I’m fully aware of all of that. That was over a dozen years ago, and that company didn’t even have an HR department. At least not in the States.
I actually stayed friends with that guy for years. Even after we both left that place. I just saw him a few months ago at my new company’s tech open house, it’s a surprisingly small industry.
He probably would have been fired for that, but you really had to try to be fired from that place. Some examples I can think of are:
Threaten your boss with gun violence
Have a drunken arm wrestling tournament in the shop after hours, then threatening the guy who beat you, and the president of the company with gang violence.
Talk about fucking another employee so hard, sparks will come out of her vagina, to her fiance. Then grope somebody afterwards.
My favorite, micro-dose LSD for productivity, then make up a flyer about a sacrifice to Cthulu in the break room and distribute it around the building.
They sure are! And despite all that, I loved that place until they were bought by a venture capital firm (ironically named DBAG). That’s when it went downhill.

Jesus H Christ. These are oddly specific and terrifying are these actual reasons people at your company got fired for?
