We had a Scottish guy on an Irish project who'd turn up drunk and stinking mid morning, with a bottle of whisky in his briefcase, which he'd drink over the course of day. By evening he was even more stinking are rather aggressive. It took management two weeks to pluck up the courage (i.e. find a couple of large security guards) to sack him.
Another Scottish contractor got sacked on a different project. Eventually the police were called in, because he took to standing outside his managers' houses of a night, shouting abuse.Comment
