Good start. Hopefully more companies and work places follow with similar policies.

- _jal 7y agoI refuse to work for a company that wants my pee. In an interview some time back, the interviewer mentioned drug testing. I replied, "Do I get a bottle of the HR manager's urine in return?" They were a bit flustered. "How do I know my superiors aren't stoned?" I let him twist a bit and then took my leave. Absent real public safety or other liability concerns, control freaks like this can pound sand.
- JohnFen 7y agoThis. Pee for enjoyment, not for employment.
- apta 7y agoSmoking can easily be detected without a urine test. The disgusting smell lingers on the smoker after they smoke for example.
- _jal 7y agoRead the article. "In states where testing is allowed, applicants must consent to submit to nicotine screening in the future to be considered." And you are aware that there are nicotine delivery methods that do not involve cigarettes?
- apta 7y agoI still don't see the issue. They want their employees to be drug free. Athletes already undergo drug testing for example.
- _jal 7y agoYou'll spot the issue in your word choice. They want their employees to be drug free I do not belong to my employer. Maybe you're comfortable ransoming your bodily fluids in order to labor for others, but I refuse to do humiliating things that model one-way power dynamics for a right to work. And until you show me how getting stoned offers a competitive performance advantage to truck rental clerks, athletes are utterly irrelevant. More on-point comparisons include prisoners and children.
- shantly 7y agoAgreed. I may at some point be so desperate for a job that I can't be picky, but for now you can show me the records for everyone between where I'll be in the org chart and the CEO, inclusive, taking & passing the same tests, or you can fuck off.
