today i go into work at 1 just like always and the ppl i work with said they are thinking about starting drug testing for us. i just laughed i wish they would because if they did they would seriously fire everyone but like 3 people. everyone i work with smokes. even the old people and supervisors, but its the county commision that wants to do it, and they have the final say cause were county employees, but w/e if they want to keep the doors open they wont do it;)
lol i hoe they don't man.
Fucking nazis, good luck man. Hope they don't go through with it. Unfortunately, I gotta say, theres probably a better chance they will do it than won't.
That's how it was when I worked at a movie theater.. out of 30 employees, inc. managers, I think 4 people didn't smoke. It's quite surprising the number of people who smoke at any given job.
Maybe they'll drug test everyone, see how many people fail, and realize that it was a stupid idea to begin with and nobody loses their job. ;) lol. Good luck!
Pray to the weed gods they don't.
Are you part of a union? If you are they can not change this unless it is voted upon.I was part of a union and they tried to make the drug testing program more lenient by giving you another chance if you failed for Mary Jane only and the stupid, woodchuck ,alcoholic mofos that I worked with voted it down!!! as it stands if you fail one drug test you can therefore never work for that corporation again.Don't get me wrong either I DO NOT CONDONE DRUGS OF ANY SORT BEING USED AT WORK.I do believe it is my own damn choice to do whatever the fuck I want to do out of work as long as I show up sober in the morning.I WILL NEVER WORK FOR ANOTHER PLACE THAT HAS A DRUG TESTING POLICY
im not part of a union, im a county employee, so if the county comisioners want to do it they can. but i swear to god if i fail i will go upstairs and tell them that i hope they die, and that i have zero respect for them, and that they could die in front of me and i wouldnt even help them, just because they judge people by that. they are pricks anyway
May I ask what your job is? I'm just curious, that's all. :)
I see this more and more in America. I seriously don't know what's wrong with the people who run that country. It's like Nazi-Germany all over again controlling people like this. I see in the States they even drug test people who work at Wal-Mart. :rolleyes: Wal-Mart for fucks sakes! What is the need to test someone working there? No offense to people working there, to each their own, but do any of the employess operate heavy machinery, or are up on a ladder, or do any kind of work that would be a danger if you made a mistake? No, not at all. Either a cashier or a floor employess stocking shelves. I see no point in testing someone for a job like that. If anything, a person would have to be stoned to work there. :p
I just don't see the point of drug testing in a job where it would be a hazard to the road, or public, but I mean people are getting tested for stocking shelves and shit. The country just want to control everybody and know what they are doing. I don't see it being anyone business what a person does in their free time, and if they keep fucking up, or are a hazard to the public, then fire them or talk to them.
I refuse to take a test for anyone. If I do come across a job that I have to tested, I politely decline the work and tell them "I will not subject myself to a drug test." Luckily, I've only had to do that once.
im a county employee and work in the record room. we deal with public records since like the beginning of time in kanawha county WV. we even have a copy of george washington's will on record somewhere in that bitch, but anyway the only thing i do is make copies for people who want copies of their deeds, trust deeds, tax leins, shit like that. no matter how fucked up i was i couldnt do anything to hurt someone
I've been tested for drugs once (retail employee); I wasn't smoking yet then, so I didn't care, and since then I've been lucky. But I won't apply for a job if I know ahead of time they test for drugs. I never show up intoxicated for work, and I think it's none of their damn business what I do in my spare time.
GOOD LUCK. That is complete bullshit.
Yeah, drug testing is really ridiculous.
I mean, whats next? Are they gonna test your sperm to see if it matches any DNA found on a rape victim? (Thats the best thing I could think of...)
Its just so ridiculous to test someone for ANY illegal drugs. If you have a crack and heroin addict working for you, as long as they get the job done and don't make any trouble, why the fuck can't they work for you?
I mean seriously, aren't these "druggies" the ones who need jobs most. Its like, hey, I'm a recovering addict trying to better myself so I can get a job and try to stop buying drugs, or just support my habit and and not live on the streets.
So then what, you don't get a job cause your a drug user so you have to stay out on the streets. Yeah, way to fucking help!
Beside the fact that its NONE of their fucking business, its discrimination. How is this any different from not hiring someone based on race or sex? If you aren't competent, you don't get the job. If you've ever committed a crime they might not want to hire a felon, thats a trust issue there.
Who says drug users can't do a good job? If their coming to work all drugged up, fire them! Chances are though, if they have the requirements for the job, it shouldn't matter if they do drugs or not. Its just discrimination.
whats even more bullshit is this:
tonight i had to work late and listened to the county commision meeting on the radio and they were saying the counties budget is too tight and they need to either cap the number of employees or start cutting jobs. but then they want to introduve this new drug testing shit.
now im not too sure but drug testing 407 employess cannot be cheap. so fuck these bastards. fuck ken carper(hes the one who wants it) and fuck butters
BTW does anyone know how expensive drug tests are?
