The fact that drug tests are normalized for jobs is fucking insane
The fact that drug tests are normalized for jobs is fucking insane
and no one irl even has the decency to agree with me because it's so fucking drilled into the culture that these fucking BuNsInNesSes have a Right to do this because it's a bSUsniEss. like oh yeah they have an office building so they definitely get to analyze my piss because they say they want to. sick fucking freaks.
preaching to the choir a bit on lemmy (or i would hope so at least) but still

You know it's all bullshit because they don't/can't test for alcohol dependence, which is way more devastating to a person's productivity than cannabis.
I have never been given a breathalyzer at work, either for pre-employment or post-accident.
I do vividly recall being drug tested for hitting a support column with a forklift. I passed. The next day, someone else hit the same post. He smelled like a bar mat. No test for him.
My job breathalyzed me in addition to the piss test. I asked the attendant about the breathalyzer test, and she said that it's common for people to fail it.
I recently learned that in NZ they will give you a breathalyzer test if you've done something such as have a vehicular collision or been speeding at something like 140 km/h in a 100 km/h zone. Even if you're a cop on highway patrol duty; you get in a crash, another cop has to administer the test.
