Have you ever been drug tested at work?  I usually play it safe and drink Pepsi.

Alcohol is not a drug.  There are so many things wrong with your statement.  Yes, I have been drug tested a bunch of times.  So has anyone who has a JOB these days.  Seems only the welfare bums get money and don't have to be drug tested.  If I have to be drug tested to EARN the money then they should have to be drug tested to STEAL it from me!

Wake up, countrygirl 12.  The post says nothing about alcohol.  There's a joke about a Pepsi delivery guy testing positive for "Coke".  Can you say "SENSE OF HUMOR"?

I sincerely hope you can recover from the chip on your shoulder.

 

Let me refresh your memory on what you posted.

QUOTE "Have you ever been drug tested at work?  I usually play it safe and drink Pepsi."

And I don't have a chip on my shoulder.  But yes it makes me mad that welfare bums get money every month that "I" and other working people WORK for and yes we are all drug tested and yet the bums are not required to be drug tested.

As for the "joke".  I did not see a picture with your original post!

Have been drug tested several times, no problem  I don't use them and never have.  I have also been finger printed for a background check. Again  did great , Never had a ticket of any kind.  I feel that since  a lot of us have been  checked so well, why isn't congress treated the same way, also feel like those on welfare and government hand outs tested. Seems like it  is just those who work are,

EXACTLY!

I've done both drug testing and background checks when applying for a job. I'll do anything they require of me.

After all, I've got nothing to hide and it's on their dollar.

Yes, that's how employers get rid of all the bad apples.

They did drug testing at my old job because it was at a vet clinic and there was access to medications. They did initial hire testing then "random" testing. At one point they suspected people of being on drugs so they would "randomly" pick two people at a time every few weeks. One that they suspected then another person so it didn't look so suspicious that the same people kept getting picked

It didn't bother me. It usually ended up being your lunch break but you got paid and could get away with a longer break

For work not at work.

I have never been tested for drugs at work. I don’t mind going through it if it is required. I think it is a good way to keep employees in check as a reminder to stay away from intoxicants for risk of losing their jobs.

Ok, not sure whether to respond to the joke or the actual question

[davidh121]

I never been tested or heard anyone else being tested. I wonder about the legalities, but don't see as much the need in my work environment.

[davissy]

I've never been tested before.

p.s. I like that comic

They do not have to pick a second person so it does not look suspicious.  If there is just cause and they suspect a person is on drugs they can drug test them and you can take the test or you can refuse and go home.  I know a woman who was suspected of drug use and she was asked to take a drug test.  She refused.  So she lost her job.  They did not have to test another person.  Or give an explanation.  You just have to have a program set up and go by the rules you set forth to start with.  I got hurt a few weeks ago at work and I had to take a drug test for Workman's Comp to pay for the medical bills.  No big deal.

You have NEVER heard of anyone being drug tested as a per-employment or as a requirement to keep a job?  Seriously?  Have you ever worked or known anyone who works?  Almost every where does pre employment drug testing nowadays.  And most do random as well.
