Could always read the article to find out, since it answers your question.

I'm not trying to attack you but did you read the article? Because I read it and I don't know the answer to either question either.

I mean....

"He said he underwent physician-supervised ketamine therapy in late 2022 to treat depression following his mother’s death.

At a January company retreat this year at a Netflix-owned property in California, Baillie shared this experience "

...

"A company attorney acknowledged that “the ketamine therapy issue has factored into the termination.”"

It's not, although rules vary by state. Medical professionals can prescribe it even though it's a Schedule III drug. I get ads for these presumably legitimate therapy services online all the time on major social networks.

Medical professionals can also use fentanyl among other drugs that aren't legal for recreational use.

Offsite retreats seem like a bad idea in general, I've never been to one where I felt the team or company worked together better afterwards, and I've seen some spectacularly bad results... like the time the facilitator tried to get to the bottom of tensions between the CTO and head of sales (the classic problem of "Engineering isn't shipping features fast enough" and "Sales is selling features before even consulting…

this could pretty much be it's own editorial, if you're feeling journalistic

Sounds like it was productive!

So he was fired for sharing he had ketamine based therapy for depression? Why? Like is it promoting drug use or something?

isn't this highly illegal, since it is used for medical purpose (mental health) ? its like firing a person who was sedated by professional Anesthesiologist with Fentanyl during surgery (A friend of mine had a surgery and was administered fentanyl)

not that I'm aware of, no. Maybe in some states sure, but not in most.

The people to whom you are responding were talking about the lack of details in this article about the Guinness "trick", not the ketamine.

Remember why they erased the separation in the first place: to get massive unpaid overtime.

I swear it's the era of chesterton's fence. Boundaries in life, whether personal or professional, are largely protective for everyone. https://letter.palladiummag.com/p/new-article-how-i-learned-...

It's probably more likely that every era is the era of chesterson's fence.

Chesterson, being a good Catholic, probably knew about this adage Proverbs 22:28 (KJV): "Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set."

And explained the usefulness of it

" including one incident where Baillie performed a Guinness-related party trick after colleagues asked him to show it off." Is this just splitting the G? If so, it's the most mundane thing in the history of alcohol related party tricks.

> It goes on to say that at the same retreat Baillie drank a Guinness standing on his head, after sharing that he had learned the trick from his former father in law during a conversation inspired by the trust session. From another article: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/netflix-exec... Honestly, the whole thing seems sort of innocuous. He had some particular medical treatment and then drank a Guinne…

Mate needs to move down to Australia, he would have been promoted after showing that off.
