Huh, have an upvote for bringing up a genuinely new point to me, thanks.
I've heard similar stories about how cooks abusing cocaine to keep up with the pace.
But I'd never made the connection that if it's legal, employers could expect performance-enhancing levels of productivity (more than I guess some restaurants and construction crews already do).
This is also an issue in professional sports and the olympics with athletes taking banned (but legal!) performance enhancing drugs. Similarly in colleges you see people abusing adderall or modafinil to study.
