> I've never had to take a drug test for any of the sub $10/hour jobs I've worked, I've had to take one for every single software job I've worked. Interesting. My experience has been the opposite. Haven't been drug tested since I got my last minimum wage job working in a grocery store. > Having your work phone calls monitored is hardly something to get worked up about (you're using your phone for work...do you also get mad when your supervisors monitor your work in person?) Uh.. yeah, if my boss starts watching me work directly and isn't actively collaborating with me - I'm going to be looking for a new job.. > Nobody low income works in my building and everyone's monitored with CCTV. Very curious where you are located? That's certainly not the norm in any dev shop I've worked in. There's cameras on the server rooms - and building security.. but nobody is monitoring the employees. Are you US based? > Psychometric tests are very uncommon and not at all specific to low income employees, I'd argue the opposite (I mean... college is basically treated as a psychometric test) College is not a psychometric test. A psychometric test is one of those "You see your coworker report to work drunk out of his mind, do you: A. Contact management, B. Pull out a 5th to help him with the Hair of the Dog, or C. Not notice because you're too high to give a fuck." I've filled out several of those over the years - ALL for low-wage retail positions. If you want to argue high-earners are tested - the long-form interview process is closer to the equivalent.
