They do dope, or alcohol? It's great that you can handle them, I certainly wouldn't, too risky, but if it works for you that's great, hope it stays that way.
I find that the drinkers are okay until about 3 in the afternoon, then they start getting itchy to start drinking. But none of them have ever come to work drunk (that I know of or remember).
They should really appreciate you, they can get a leg up by your kindness.
I got a crack head helper guy, and a guy that hasnt admitted it but I know for sure he does meth. The crack head is a black dude that I just need to show up 90% of the time, and do about 1.5 hours of work a day for him to be worth having around. With incredibly low standards for him he does fine. The other guy I feel bad for, he smart and a good guy, he wants to do more but he just cant. He always tells me about how he can do more work than I give him, but the times ive taken him up on it he falls apart, so I stopped. He does shit that would get him fired other places like disappearing for an hour a day or calling out once or twice a month. Thankfully he doesnt screw up often if hes not under pressure, and he hasnt egregiously fucked my day up, so I let it slide, and deal with the occasional customer complaint for him, most people really like him though.
You're a good man, that's pretty amazing.
