I had a new guy working for me once in retail who fell asleep a few times during his shifts.

I had coworkers and customers both tell me they thought he was on drugs cuz he'd nod off right in the middle of something like that.

When I talked to him about it it turned out he was homeless and he'd been living in his car and being harassed by cops for sleeping in it, so every night he'd sleep an hour or two and get up and drive to a new spot, sleep another hour or two and get up and move again.

He was just freaking exhausted.

I moved his schedule a bit and had him start parking in our private lot and talked to some other managers to make sure he'd get left alone there.

Only took the kid a few weeks after that to get on top of himself and get a room.

Some people just need a little help.
