- It is common in the works of Argentina that one day of the week all the birthdays of the month are celebrated.
- The custom is to bring some kind of cake or pudding to share.
- In this case, the employee brought brownies laced with marijuana and said nothing to them.
The employee of a call center in Argentina brought a chocolate cake (brownie) to share with his co-workers.
The detail: It contained marijuana and he told them nothing.
As a result, at least 10 colleagues ended up intoxicated.
It happened in the city of Córdoba, the second largest city in Argentina.
The company fired the worker and issued a statement explaining what happened.
According to the company’s union delegate, Patricia Barrera, the toxicological analyzes carried out on the workers affected by the consumption of the cake showed in all cases traces of cannabis in the blood.
Thus, it was deduced that the only food they had all consumed was the brownie that the companion, named Matías, had brought.
The incident occurred at the Konecta Argentina company on Monday, May 23, and this Thursday, May 26, it was learned that the worker was detained by the police after a raid on his home.
According to the Argentine media, the worker had more than 10 years of experience in the company.
It is common for employees to bring something to eat together when celebrating a birthday. The strange thing, according to Barerra, is that Matías had never worn anything in a decade working at the store.
“He brought that kind of pudding at 10 in the morning and distributed it among the colleagues, in which we are about 15 people. After half an hour, the companions they began to break down, to suffocate, to feel bad”added the delegate.
According to a witness, he told chain 3, “some laughed, others cried and there were two who were like ‘tough’”.
According to the doctors, between 10 and 15 intoxications occurred due to the chocolate cake with marijuana.
No case was serious. The most complicated: a young woman who had to stay overnight in the hospital.
What did the young man say? Matías did not speak, but according to Barrera, he told him that he had bought a premix at a store where they sell it and that he prepared the brownie at home.
What the company said about the cake with marijuana
Konecta Argentina issued an official statement saying: “At noon, a total of seven collaborators expressed discomfort after eating food shared by a colleague.
