- flukus 8y agoThe problem is differentiating current intoxication/high, which is obviously bad in most jobs from someone who had a joint Saturday night two weeks ago, which has no impact on there work.
- culturestate 8y agoThere are some situations where even being high at work isn’t really a problem, as long as you aren’t too high. Almost every retail job on earth, for example. I wouldn’t care if my cashier was high as long as they can function.
- asdff 8y agoI've gotten some great, productive work done while pretty up there. For me, it removes inertia and I just get straight into my work and stay in it until I've gotten enough done for the day. It was my secret weapon during finals week when I had to crank out term papers for classes I wasn't especially interested in.
- baroffoos 8y agoOperating machinery should probably be tested but if you are working an office job I don't see why it matters. If someone is impaired enough that it matters you will see it without a test.
- petre 8y agoIt doesn't matter if your sensitive professional was intoxicated more than a day ago in his/her free time and is perfectly apt to operate machinery during work hours.
