使用毒品，立即开除
我不知道这个说法是怎么来的，但这是讲雇主对待吸毒的严厉的态度，一经发现，立即解雇，决不从容。

抱歉，打错了字。决不“从容”应为决不“纵容”。
我猜测， 这里的 \"wired\" 特指酗酒或吸毒后的异常兴奋的精神状态。
所以译文似乎应该改为“酗酒吸毒，立即开除”。

1) The employee was active on the internet when he or she should have been working, or
2) The employee was emotionally stressed -- on aphetamines, etc.
Hopefully someone else can supply you with the Chinese.
