and no one irl even has the decency to agree with me because it’s so fucking drilled into the culture that these fucking BuNsInNesSes have a Right to do this because it’s a bSUsniEss. like oh yeah they have an office building so they definitely get to analyze my piss because they say they want to. sick fucking freaks.

preaching to the choir a bit on lemmy (or i would hope so at least) but still

    My company does not do drug tests and never has. Someone asked the owner why and he said ‘Id lose a lot of good people’

      I worked for one place like that. I worked in another place, in the same industry, where they decided to drug test all their employees one day. They lost everyone from 3rd shift, and everyone from 2nd shift except my supervisor and myself.

      After that, they rapidly started to lose customers…

      My current job and a different job I had, didn’t drug test people. Current job has a few stoners at the upper levels so they just don’t test people. The other company was very small, was mostly developers, and had a high bar for getting an interview, so they knew that also going “also you have to be clean” wasn’t a good idea to do to developers especially after recreational pot became legal.

      Honestly I’ve seen a lot less dev jobs do drug testing since it whittles down too many otherwise perfectly competent employees.
