Is there typically no screening for doctors during job interviews or at some interval after getting a job?
Not sure if everyone is aware of this, but in the tech imdustry typically the more prestigious the company or role is the less likely there is any drug testing. It’s a bit ironic, just one anecdote: I’m not aware that any of the top 5 software focused companies require developers or related tech roles to ever take a test.
On the other hand, it’s very common for a developer or tech role to have to be screened at companies like AllState Imsurance. I’ve never worked at AllState and don’t mean to imply they’e worse than average (anyone can google the requirement). It’s just meant to represent a typical example of large company IT corporate America for which tech is not the core competency of the business.
I can see drawing a line between truck drivers and developers (or any role where it’s easy for a mistake to cost lives). However, if truck drivers are almost always tested to get a job:
- Should doctors be as well?
- Should Waymo developers be tested?
