fucking drug tests...arghh!!![views:7092][posts:105]____________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 4:16pm - HailTheLeaf ""] So I've been looking for a new job for about 3 months now, and I've gotten ONE INTERVIEW so far, which has been just a tad frustrating. Seems somehow CVS got ahold of my resume', someone passed it onto them I guess. They've called me twice over the 2 months, first time went well, they offered me $12/hour to sit and answer technical support phone calls...which I figured I could stand for a few months. I asked if it was possible to get Tuesdays off (band practice), and they didn't call back for a month. 2nd call they left a message, I called back...no response until today. They call, say I can get Tuesdays off, and everything sounds all good...I'm all excited, maybe I'll be able to pay my rent now...but no, she mentions there's a pre-employment drug test. WTF? There goes that job. It's not that I don't think I'd pass a drug test, nothing to do with that, (I passed down a job like this 5-6 years ago when I only smoked pot once every 3 months), it's that a drug test is fucking invading my privacy and spitting in the face of my consitutional rights. Sorry people, but CVS has no right whatsoever to know what anyone does in their spare time. I'm not peeing in a cup for any corporation. CVS has no right to know what's in my body, and the fact that they'd want to know speaks volumes of how much they must trust their employees. Alcoholism and lack of sleep account for majority of workplace production loss and accidents...and neither of those show up in a piss test. You could do a line of coke before you go to work, take a drug test a few hours later and come out clean, and don't even get me going on the rate of false positives. Fuck any company that uses drug testing. FOURTH AMENDMENT [U.S. Constitution] - 'The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.' So now I'm getting e-mails from Bank Of America offering a teller position...I suck at math..this will be fun.. |
| _____________________________ [Jan 9,2006 4:21pm - Nate ""] when I moved down here to TN I had a hard time finding a job because of drug tests. My wife told me a trick she used to use, and this involved not having to go out and buy golden seal or any of that other money wasting shit. Apply for the job and when they set up the time for the drug test, 2-3 hours before start drinking a gallon of water. Make sure the whole gallon is gone by the time you need to leave for the test. I did it and by the time I went into the clinic to take the test I was pissing out pure water and they never found anything in my system. I had smoked two bowls the night before the test and had been smoking everry day before that. So, drink a gallon of water like I said and by the time you piss it'll be nothing but water. It fuckin works!!! I had to test for FedEx/ Kinkos and I know they tested it good. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 4:23pm - anonymous ""] Bank Of America doesnt do drug testing? And yes, asking for your piss may invade your rights, but the company has the right to ask for it. Good for you for not going through it though; at least you stand for something (unlike 99% of the population). |
| _____________________________ [Jan 9,2006 4:25pm - Nate ""] and I don't think it has anything to do with "invasion of privacy". Think about this, would you want a crackhead or heroin shooting junky to work for you if you owned a business? Pot is no big deal in most people's eyes, but crackheads and dopeheads are pretty well known to lie, steal, cheat, etc. I wouldn't want them working for me either, and if I owned a business I sure as would drug test people just for that reason alone. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 4:27pm - BornSoVile ""] what Nate said about the water. did you also know that if you have over 8 glasses of water you can literally be drunk off of it. I learned that is class this past semester. I guess some parents actually killed their daughter, making her drink over 30 glasses of water as some punishment. how's the grass down in TN Nate? |
| _____________________________ [Jan 9,2006 4:29pm - Nate ""] it's damned good Josh. Most people around here don't smoke schwag so it's all hydro. The first bag we got when we came down I tore open a bud and little tiny crystals were inside, almost looked like the buds were full of a coke like substance. You barely need to smoke a whole joint and you get pretty baked. |
| _____________________________ [Jan 9,2006 4:31pm - Nate ""] I haven't laughed this hard from weed since I was a teenager, so yeah for the most part it's pretty good. We got a new connection and I'm gonna see what he's got tonight. |

If a crackhead or heroin addict goes to an interview, and no one at the company can tell that they are a crackhead, then that's the company's problem. I think I'd be able to figure that out and avoid hiring those people. But to degrade and invade the privacy of the other 98% of applicants is retarded. “If we choose to violate the rights of the innocent in order to discover and act against the guilty, then we have transformed our country into a police state and abandoned one of the fundamental tenants of a free society.

They screen alot down here in the south because there is a major meth problem in Knoxville so they want to make sure those idiots don't get a job so they can fuck with the company. Hailtheleaf - No dig at you man but there is no conspiracy to put cameras in your home so CVS can watch whether you smoke a joint or not. Get a job, I hear that most dishwashers don't have to take drug tests.:thescream: |

| _______________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 5:31pm - DomesticTerror ""] i could understand your argument more if your current company suddenly began drug testing, but as far as a screening for employment, i don't see the problem. every interview that i've had, if they screen, they tell me in advance. then i simply choose whether or not i want to work there. i do agree that it makes no sense at all why they would screen for THC, but not harder drugs. (seeing how it's CVS, maybe painkillers would be a good idea!) and why don't hospitals screen their doctors and nurses for bloodbourne pathogens? now, that would make sense... |

Actually, the only way cocaine (or crack) will show up on a pee test is if you were fucking a big pile of coke right before taking the test. This is why I personally wash my dick whenever I have to pee in a cup. |
| _____________________________ [Jan 9,2006 5:45pm - Nate ""] good thinking... |

(seeing how it's CVS, maybe painkillers would be a good idea!) Makes perfect sense. Pot is the easiest, cheapest, and legally most justifiable drug to test for. A folicle test can be 200% more expensive, and since usage from years past can be detected it's more easily challenged in court. Federal agencies, like the FBI, do folicle tests and will not hire anyone who has done ANY illegal drugs within the past 15 years. As for why they test for THC at all, that's pretty sensible too. You're in a pharmacy. Someone who tests positive for recreational drug use is a lot more likely to steal prescription meds than someone who does not. Same reason it's a bad idea to hire a fat chick to guard a box of donuts. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 5:49pm - HailTheLeaf ""] To Whom It May Concern, I was recently contacted by your company for possible employment as a technical service representative in Woonsocket, RI. I'm very interested in this position, but was troubled by the company's position on pre-employment drug testing. I feel this is a violation of privacy, not to mention the 4th amendment, It doesn't really portray a trusting releationship between employer and employee, more of a 'guilty until proven otherwise' feel. Ten years of research has shown that drug tests do not pay dividends in decreased accidents and absenteeism or increased efficiency and productivity. Alcoholism and lack of sleep cause the majority of workplace accidents and loss of productivity, yet neither of these show up in drug tests. There are alternatives that don't invade employees rights and privacy, Hand-eye coordination testing, and Eye/retina scan. Performance testing is a daily skills test which tests the reflexes and performance ability of your employees for today and today only. Unlike drug testing, Performance testing IS Constitutionally friendly and does NOT differentiate between the legal or illegal drug user, the alcoholic, the stressed, the sick, or the tired and fatigued. Performance testing catches those high risk employees no matter what their private life styles are. If you ever decide to rethink your policy, I'd love to discuss employment options. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 5:52pm - ArrowHead nli ""] It's a pharmacy dude, I'm pretty sure the testing is federally, or at least state, required. Same thing for transportation jobs, so give up the idea of driving a cab or getting a trucking license. |
| _____________________________ [Jan 9,2006 5:59pm - Nate ""] with a letter like that you can kiss that job goodbye. there are plenty of other people that'll take the job and they'll probaby have the position filled the moment they read your letter. Rather than pissing and moaning about stuff and standing up for your rights by not taking a job because of drug testing, bite the bullet and get a fucking job. 3 months to get a job is ridiculous. My father once said to me "if you can't get the job you're looking for right away, get anything you can to hold you over so you at least have money coming in, than worry about the better job." This made perfect sense to me and I am currently working a job, which I had to drug test for, until I get the job I really want to do that goes along with the career I have chosen. So get a job. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 6:02pm - ArrowHead nli ""] Even though I'm arguing so much, I actually have the same stance as you. I've been trying to find a new job for a long time now, and every time I find something I would like, I find out they drug test. I don't some high moral reason for not taking a job where I'm tested, I just have no desire to pass one. I don't bring it to work. I don't do it at work. I don't show up for work stoned. No matter what job I've had, I've always been one of the best, most productive employees there. I think it's rediculous that I couldn't get hired to stock shelves at wal-mart. I go there at night. I watch some retard spend over an hour stocking a freezer aisle half the size of ones I've done at my old job in 15 minutes. That's sad. Drug testing is biased profiling of potential employees in order to help control shrink and liability. It's bullshit. I'd only agree with it if there was a way to test ONLY for the duration the employee is working for. Frankly, good management and peer employees can usually spot problem behavior at work long before the employees next drug test is due. |

AMEN! I tell my employees and friends that EXACT same thing all the time. Our fathers seem to have told us the same thing. I had a kid say he wanted to walk out and quit. I told him he was retarded. Why would anyone willingly go unemployeed? If you have a means of income, hold onto it. If it's not enough or you don't like it, supplement it or find another job FIRST. I got fired from a security job I used to work. I got a blowjob in my car, and the property manager saw it. I went out the next morning to a temp agency, and got a shitty low paying job packing boxes that day. I kept working the temp assignment while I scheduled real interviews. It didn't pay my bills, but I can't imagine how much more things would have sucked if I didn't even have that few hundred a week coming in. Seriously, when I see people say they have no job, and I see a NOW HIRING sign in every McDonalds I walk past, I get queasy. |

| _________________________________ [Jan 9,2006 6:51pm - Dankill ""] One thing people are forgeting. The 4th amendment in terms of private businesses is gray. See, the founding fathers wrote that to prevent abuse by the goverment. They didn't write that in terms of private citizens because, back then, there was no authority by a citizen to perform any sort of search or seizures. Drug tests are by choice mostly by the company itself, as part of free enterprise. You have a choice of not taking it. You just will not get the job. This is just as much free enterprise, by private citizens, as a company not having a drug testing policy. Now, if the goverment made a law forcing any kind of employer to give their employees drug tests, then you'd have a case not only for 4th amendment, but goverment over-regulation of private business. |

Where you see your rights being infringed, I see opportunity for self sufficience being wasted, and you being a leech on parents, or worse ME by collecting from the government. Frankly, if you're unemployed and not willing to get any available job to try and support yourself, then you're the sheep. I hire, fire, and pass over people like yourself weekly, sometimes daily. Get a job. Pay your bills. Move out of your parents house, and learn to be an adult. Then, and only then, can you start making stances on how you feel about drug testing and employment practices. And drug testing, again, is in no way a legal violation of your fourth amemdment rights. Not only a lazy hippie, but you're an ignorant lazy hippie. |

When I see a fucking warrior like Nate getting out there, moving away from family, waking up every day and working a job paying too little doing something he doesn't like, just to show some responsiblity and carry his family's and own weight against incredibly harsh odds; When I see people like this every day, and realize that 1/3 of those taxes, hundreds and thousands of those warriors hard earned money goes to supporting idealist hippies like yourself bleeding the welfare and unemployment systems dry without even ATTEMPTING to correct their situation; goddamn, I honestly don't know what to say.

Anyways, there are ways around beating drug tests (which someone probably already mentioned). What kind of job are you hoping to get? For me a job is just something I do to make everything else I want to do possible. Sort of like a necesarry evil, but I don't even really think evil is the word. I barely give work a second thought once I am out for the day. |

It explains my point about coke in urine tests a lot more scientifically than I ever could. As you can see, much like a breathalyzer test (which tests for acids, not alcohol), It's not coke that shows up but rather a byproduct. Most companies will avoid positive results for these products, since they are not proof positive of usage. |

Considered a failure by the courts, not counted by employers. The only exception I've ever heard of is class A drivers, who will fail with a positive result for coke. Opiates all show up as the same thing. Heroin, opium, etc... all leave traces of the same material which is also contained in other poppy products, like poppy seeds (used in teas and bagels and stuff). Again, any positive result is considered a failure by the courts, but is not considered by most employers. There was a lawsuit around 10 years ago, a boston company turned down hundreds of employees in a very short term due to testing positive for opiates. They launched a class action suit, turned out everyone involved in the suit had eaten poppyseed bagels at the dunkin donuts across the street from the clinic shortly before testing. Since then, I've never heard of companies piss testing and screening for opiates. |

I was never tested myself (grandfathered), but I had to go over test results for the people who were hired afterwards. The only results we counted were pot, coke and heroin were discounted or a second screening was requested. If the results showed up on the second screening as well (about a week later) then the applicant was not hired. p.s. - another loop for our paranoid hippy friend: sometimes if the applicant looked REALLY good, or had good experience, we'd hire them even when they DID fail. |
