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.
