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.

    Those are generally the same industries performing the drug tests in the US, too. They only test if they’re required to by OSHA, DOT, or insurance due to the nature of the work (i.e. “safety sensitive” roles). I’ve never done a drug test for an office job or basic labor; but I get regularly tested for my DOT related job.

          Walmart had a forklift that was only used by certain certified individuals but jiffy lube had no heavy equipment.

              No there was no lift or any other heavy equipment or machinery. We had a floor jack and hand tools. I find the idea that US employers drug test primarily for OSHA compliance or due to heavy equipment quite absurd. It’s about discrimination (for both the right and wrong reasons) plain and simple.
