BREAKFAST AND RED BULLS
A coworker arrives hungover and is fed breakfast plus two Red Bulls, prompting a blunt, open-ended question about the next move in managing the day.
Send them home or let them work?

One of his guys showed up to work hungover, and by the time the morning had barely started, breakfast and two Red Bulls were already on the table.
That was the situation the poster laid out in a blunt, almost startled post: "One of my guys came to work hungover." No explanation, no backstory, just the fact of it, a worker arrived rough enough to need help getting through the day. The response came fast. The poster said, "I already bought him breakfast and 2 redbulls what proceeds?"
That was the whole ask: what comes next.
The post didn't say where they worked, what the job was, or how hard the hangover hit, but the scene is easy to picture. A coworker dragging into the day while someone else tries to patch the morning together with food and caffeine. Breakfast first. Then two energy drinks, lined up as damage control. After that, the question hangs there: now what?
The wording keeps it short and plain, almost like the poster is turning to the room and asking for the next step in real time. There's no long complaint, no blow-up, no dramatic confrontation in the post itself. Just a worker who came in hungover, a boss or coworker who already covered breakfast and two Red Bulls, and a final question about what to do with the situation next.
The post stops there. No update on whether the worker pushed through the shift, got sent home, or had to explain themselves. No aftermath is given. The only thing on record is the hungover arrival, the breakfast, the Red Bulls, and the poster's open-ended "what proceeds?"
