    I am 47, and I have never not once been tested for drugs for work.

    For most of my jobs, I’m relatively certain that drugs were in fact required.

    If anyone tried to test me for drugs, I would tell them to go fuck themselves, and I’d happily walk away from the interview.

      Yeah, most restaurants dont test for drugs for a reason.

      On the flip side, I’ve had to take a drug test for every single job I’ve ever had. Most are sales related. But I travel for work so I kind of understand the need 10 years ago when everything was illegal. Now that weed is mostly legal everywhere its pointless to even test for it.

        I work with a vulnerable population. In addition to every job doing piss testing my fingerprints and DNA get recorded and checked against unsolved assaults / murders. Nothing ever comes up but I always worry I’m gonna be like the last person that touched a vase before the dude that bashed somebody’s head in with it and the dude who did it isn’t in any databases and I’m gonna have to answer a bunch of intrusive questions.

        Anytime I have worked for fintech I’ve been tested and fully background checked every time, pretty annoying but the trade off is the pay I suppose

        If I wanna buy blow in whatever city I’m visiting, I always ask a bartender or a waiter for a hook up.

        It’s a rule I refer to as “industry standard”

      I’m 36 and have been drugs tested once. They reckoned they’d seen me drop a gram of coke on camera so I got 6 weeks paid holiday.

        I have been drug tested several times, and I am in fact “on drugs”. So, I get a call within a couple of days of getting tested to provide them with access to my pharmacy records to prove they are legally prescribed.
        So, wtf were they doing that you got 6 weeks?

        Obviously, because nobody oopsie-daisies a gram of coke without going back to grab it, lol.

        How does that Nazi dick taste?

        Nobody fucking tells me when I can piss. I am the sole authority over my own bodily functions.

        It was a sad day because you and so many of your coworkers handed that over to any authority at all. You fucking cowards. You gave them the power to abuse you. then you had the temerity to come here and rationalize it.

        Classic victim behavior

            Wow. How pathetic.

            Marching into the gas chambers, while still defending the Nazis who shoved you in there.

            “I had no choice but to let them exterminate me!”

            I guess some people will never learn…

              Oh fucking look, the idiot/bot that replied within seconds has nothing to say all of a sudden trying to mark an anarchist as a Nazi.

              Funny how you called yourself out for being an idiot/bot

              😂

              It seems that your AI chat buddy doesn’t understand the concept of comment hierarchies… Lol
