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're viewing a single thread.
So what's the alternative? Have employees in an altered state attempting to do their jobs? Recreational drug users love to play the victim because they don't think their use negatively affects anyone, much in the same way a drunk driver thinks they can drive fine while drunk.
not invade everyone's privacy because you're pretending there's some tremendous concern here. you're playing the victim right now acting like it's dangerous and offensive that a Recreational Drug User in an Altered State could commit the horrible crime of trying to hold down a job despite chemical dependency and people like you trying to make their lives harder at every turn
Oh. So people who operate heavy equipment aren't at risk of causing harm if they're under the influence?
Besides that, I didn't say I agreed with doing it. I asked for an alternative.
Have employees in an altered state attempting to do their jobs?
Yes. If you need lab analysis to figure out if they're doing drugs then I'm pretty sure they'll be fine getting their work done.
I imagine the lab analysis is for proof that they're doing drugs. Could you imagine what it might be like without that proof?
Either:
A) you couldn't be fired while operating heavy machinery in an altered state
Or
B) you could be fired without proof of drug use.
Both seem shitty to me.
You drive better when you've had a couple?
