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

      That’s not what being normalised means, and you know it.

      The post is clearly complaining about it being overused in all forms of jobs, like office workers or shop assistants. Drug testing is debatably justified for workers using heavy machinery and operating vehicles.

      The drug testing procedure in itself is invasive, and should only be required with very good reasoning.

        Im sorry, but no. OP is no talking about specific jobs. He is talking about all jobs in general.

        I agree that there are jobs were drug testing is not required.

      Why should I care if my plane pilot smoked a joint 3 weeks ago?
      One of the problems with drug testing is it flags people that are sober but consumed in the last month.
      It’s as if you could lose your job because you had a beer in the last month, that’s just dumb.
