It was only about a year ago the changed our identification number from our ssn to another number on our insurance cards. I hated every time I went to a doctor they made a copy of it.

Ok??

I thought all employment polygraphs were against federal law? I am asking?

Sounds as if you lost twice. First you lost your integrity and second was your un-achieved benefit.



I think we should start making churches pay taxes instead of increasing these so-called sin taxes. This is a double edge sword, as the church pays no tax on it's income and the church members can take the deduction that they gave the church. Seems lopsided to me. Make churches pay and leave the deduction in place or visa versa.

Brian, you know you cannot have the best of both worlds. Either it's allowed or it's not allowed. I quit smoking 4 months ago. So I like a smoke free environment. The only place I am guarantied this is at home.

It was a theory and has been dismissed.


No.

WTF is your problem, raising old threads with no contribution to it but "yep"

Zombie thread................

I have seen this thread and I believe its the first time I am posting to this
what do you guys think of hair sample tests - this is something I have had to agree to for some of the jobs I have sumitted to - Most DOD jobs require them from what I can gather

It it what it is, and my insurance company requires them for serious injuries too. Its too bad some folks think its a bargaining point, because it's not.

If you don't like it lay the blame where it belongs....LAWYERS and stupid politicians who treat the words "tort reform" as profanity.

Reading this thread reminds me why I love Canada so much. I'm not a drug user but I believe what I do after work is my buisness.
Also around here drinking is a bigger problem on job sites than smoking pot.

Question, when you do a pee test and it shows that you drink quite a bit do you still pass?

I just took a test 3 weeks ago and I passed Granted I don't drink during the day but at 4:00 when I get home there's nothing better

I kind of enjoyed reading this thread. Now let me weigh in. I am a former pot smoker of about 10 years. In that time i had some good paying jobs while still smoking. Now i never really was one to smoke on the job. But when i got off it was my time. Since i have quit smoking about 4 months ago i have thought back on some issues. The few times i did smoke while working i was in what i called "duh" mode. Yes i will admit i made mistakes on the job during that time because i didn't want to go ask anybody anything because i was stoned. To my knowledge i dont remember making any mistakes that endangered anybodys life during those times. Now that i am a little bit older and have a son that depends on me i will submit to a drug test at any time to prove that i am clean. Belive it or not more workplaces that i was not aware of are making applicants take drug tests. My fiancee just had to go take a drug test for a job with family dollar. Imo i think drug tests are a good thing. I dont want to be working with someone under the influence that might hinder me going home to my little boy. Now if only i could find a job so i had to take a drug test.

I'm all for drug testing. I think everyone should be tested weekly, not this random thing. I'm tired of working alongside a bunch o damn pinko commie dope smokin long hairs - there's no way of knowing what they forgot to hook up.

What about a drunk? What's the difference? If you drink enough the night before you can still be over the limit in the morning, but that's OK on a job?

miller_elex

I hated having to work FOR the dopers. Seems dope helps polish the people skills, which mean alot more in the long run.

"when you pack your wires with a hammer handle.... you know you're a dope smoker." (think Foxworthy)

If you do want to smoke the dope, keep a clean apprentice within reach at all times. The lab is onto the synthetic freeze-dried piss that doesn't smell bad, they hired a pee-smeller.

wildleg

I agree. I don't like working with drunks either.

Much as I am against it if you own the place you make the decision to
let them smoke or not.

I agree. The smoke-free thing kind of took care of itself here. When you would go out to eat there would be dozens of people waiting for seating in the smoke-free area while 3/4 of the tables in the smoking section were empty. It didn't take long for all of them to go smoke-free on their own. Nothing motivates like money in those situations. We didn't need a law for restraunts here.

John Valdes

You are a .

wildleg

I'll take that as a compliment.
