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

    I completely agree.

    Many years ago I applied for a McJob at Worst Buy. They had mandatory drug testing even (especially?) for the lowest level job I was applying for.

    I couldn’t pee when I went to the medical place for the test. Not sure I recall correctly but I think I went back a second time and drank a lot of water and was full of piss so I could do it. They never got back to me. No idea why. I guess they picked up the nicotine and didn’t want to hire a cigarette smoker.

    When I think about this now I’m pretty horrified that I even did the pee test. It would be exceptional circumstances for me to do this for anything employment related now. I’m very clean now but it is none of their fucking business. It does surprise me that it is legal.

      Maybe the sample was too dilute, so they thought you were trying to hide something?

        It is possible. I would think they’d want me to come back and re-test. But I’ll never know.
