We have mandatories. Ugh.
Yes, but it seems like the higher your position or seniority (unless you are at the bottom of the totem aka easily replaceable) the less likely you are to be subjected to them. For example, a burger flipper might get randomed all the time while a senior executive never has much concern for them. With most things in this country, the poorest suffer the most. I've seen janitors fired for failing yet have never seen any middle manager or higher even tested aside from the mandatory hiring test.Let me get this straight? Do you cross Atlantic brothers & sisters get drug tested for work???
Yeah...lots of us do. I am a mid level exec. At one job with access to my companiesbank accounts. My other job i have access to the drug cabinet, so I really get that. With the larger companies it is very common at all levels.Let me get this straight? Do you cross Atlantic brothers & sisters get drug tested for work???
That is some valuable info sister Cat! Especially strand test. Thanks!An added note:the drug Nexium, which is an antacid (actually a proton pump i hibitor) makes you give a false positive in a urine analysis and a strand test. This is clearlymentioned on the Mayo clinic website. Saved my ass a couple of times.
And btw, Nexium is now sold over the counter here in the states.
Urine analysis are easy to beat anyway because you can often stall the date you're scheduled to take one. I could do c0c41n3 off some hookers like the CEOs for weeks up to the day they tell me a testing date and stall my test for 1-2 weeks (to be extra safe) and come up clean. If they ever pull out some tweezers on me, I'd book it and resign though, but that costs money they'd rather keep.An added note:the drug Nexium, which is an antacid (actually a proton pump i hibitor) makes you give a false positive in a urine analysis and a strand test.

No fun allowed. It's the American way and we'll spread freedom on your ass if you try to change our ways.That's crazy crackers!! I can understand the jobs where you might be responsible for controlled substances and associated environments... Even labour intensive jobs or operating dangerous machinery... But, just a normal job? What happened to 'fuck off, I'll do what I like on a weekend"?? ....
I thought our health & safety policies were fucked?!
Yay for the new house! *happy dance*Today, I nearly fell over, as I was informed (finally), that I officially get the keys to my new house, on Friday!!
However, ever the optimist, I'm just waiting for something to fuck up before then!![]()
Congratulations! I know moving is ghastly but I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible.Today, I nearly fell over, as I was informed (finally), that I officially get the keys to my new house, on Friday!!

Cheers 2E,Congratulations! I know moving is ghastly but I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible.
Let me know when the house - warming party is, I'll bring the wine.
Yeah but with all our combined social anxiety a meet and greet would probably require that many meds!Cheers 2E,
Believe me, if I lived across the pond I'd have you all round... Imagine that, we wouldn't be short on the drugs front would we!![]()
LOL Wyldepixie. I think I would actually have a lot less anxiety meeting fellow DBGers. At least we already have more in common than a random group of people. For the most part I think we are more compassionate and less judgmental, having a common bond. After all, we share the same struggles that most people wouldn't give a damn about. I think the most shocking part would be seeing what we all look like!Yeah but with all our combined social anxiety a meet and greet would probably require that many meds!
Yes, I often wonder what everybody looks like, I just hope that's not your real face?LOL Wyldepixie. I think I would actually have a lot less anxiety meeting fellow DBGers.
