Like 10 guys suddenly came down with the flu this morning when they announced it. I know people always joke about 4/21 being drug test day but I've never actually seen a company do it. They made 51% of the workforce piss.

Makes me wonder why they'd want to do it. If your employees are doing their job well, why would you want to find some stupid reason to fire them?

So?

Should employers fire people that speed, litter, run res lights, and roll through stop signs?

In my company, it's a means to do layoffs without needing to mess with severance packages since they're in violation of policy.

The only kicker is that the people who get laid off because of pot usage on offtime are often the people they'd prefer not to lay off.

Insurance and liability reasons. If you mess up, hurt yourself or someone else, found to have drugs in your system afterwards, the company faces possible consequences. I mean, either that or they just wanted to clean house. Piss tests cost money.

Then the people who got fired are better off, rather than working for a shitty company like that.

........... I know legally they can get in trouble for that, but it's bullshit. They can find weed in your system even if you haven't smoked in days. It has no effect on your job if you smoked the night before.

I don't understand why employers would care if their employees smoke weed in their free time. Especially if it's a stressful job. Honestly what is the harm in relaxing with some green at the end of the day?

It could be an insurance company mandate or some bullshit, then. That's obviously sensitive equipment you deal with. I bet if you slip and fall they'd make you pee. Just a guess.

I'm Union so that doesn't work. They have to pay the replacements the same amount unless I would have been above rate and they have to hire other union guys

It's a bit of both. Personally, I don't care if someone smokes weed in their free time as long as they are fine and productive when they show up to work. However, if you have a nice job that you need to support yourself/family, you're a complete idiot to risk that over something that you 100% know is against company policy.

Yeah you piss for any injury that requires medical care. Not necessarily for falling over. I'd be out of a job by now lol. Thank God for 5 hour energy bottles and boxer briefs just Saiyan.

I disagree, with the shit we deal with I think doing drugs aftet work should be a requirement

That's how they get out of paying you benis. "This guy puffed two weeks ago? Savage! This machine may have malfunctioned and eaten your hand, but you're a drug addict!" Corporate ideology.
