Is this common?

Robin,
Drug testing is very common here. Large firms certainly do Drug
Testing. A Drug Free Workplace environment is now common in my area with
shops employing 20 and even fewer employees.
I completely support Drug Screening and Drug Testing of employees.

Cool.. nice to see some more $30 an hour paying jobs...

Mike

 

Doesn't that scream, "big brother"?

Regards,

Robin

 

You mean, louder than the recent election results?

It's all in line with the current political philosophy. Which most
Americans seem to want, actually. If you consider 51% most....

It screams "I dont have to have druggies working for me"

It says that we don't want druggies in our place of business. If that
offends someone, then we have the right plan in place.

Corporations big and small today are finding out that what's best to create this
friendly atmosphere as you call it, what has to happen to create excellence in a
workforce, is a kind of culture needs to be formed in small groups, perhaps
a payed consultant on Friday's whom comes in to enhance personal well being
by way of Meditation, Yoga, Tea or Therapeutic drugs.

Compare these trends coming in corporate culture today to that of culture in
the 1960's. Meditation, Yoga, and Psychedelic drugs. When the wheel goes around
it comes around, lava lamps, insense, and Psychedelic lights.

Marshal do you have plans to implement any of these services ?

Obviously.

Big Brother would rather see people damaging their brains
(and of course their children's brains) using 'prescribed' drugs.

You combine that with people who like to drink and you'll have
yourself a hell of a work environment. I've seen so much of
that it's not funny.

There's just no such thing as a "drug free workplace".

The reactions you are seeing are typical...

"If you don't give your child psychotropic drugs, it's child
abuse".

"If you think drug screens are a violation of your privacy,
freedoms bla bla... you must be a druggy".

"If you don't want to have a GPS tracking device in your car
(a new law trying to pass in California) you must be a criminal".

I've worked for coke addicts at companies that do "drug screens".
I've had bosses drink and take out their problems on me.

Give me a break.

Anyhoo, the next phase of freedom violations is to do forced
mental-health screening, which is already underway in cities
like Chicago.

Some day, in the not to distant future, this subject will come
up again and we'll be hearing people say "Oh, yeah... forced
mental-health screens are good for us!", to which I will ramble
on about mandatory microchip implants for employment...

Then later it will be "Oh sure, local prison camps are what we
need to keep those terrorists from harming us". I'll be one of
the first people thrown in just for writing this post.

It's only going to get worse Robin. Kudos to you for having the
courage to question policies.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to finish my concept sketches
for the "Amero" Coin Design Contest.

Your not allowed to have any US presidents on them, because the
new currency will represent Canada, Mexico, Brazil etc. I'll just
put lots of stars on em. Everyone likes stars!

Hi,

It is really interesting to see how responses can vary. A few remind me of
people that I have worked with before....they spend many hours per week "at
work" debating topics that have very little to do with their work and then
complain that they need more help in order to get their job done. I tried
to describe the ideal candidate for the job that we are currently hiring
for. Someone mentioned big brother...perhaps that is a good example used a
different way as we are looking for someone that can assist and help us to
grow thereby creating opportunities for both.......big brother.

If interested, please reply to my email address with your resume and salary
requirement.

We are a small company by some standards and larger by others. We fit in
the less than 5 million in sales with total employees averaging around 20.
Our extrusion and molding operates 24 hours per day 5 days per week.

In the past we believed that the correct approach was to have a "college
degree mechanical engineer/designer" and an excellent
"machinist/mold-maker". It may still be a good approach for some but we
would like to locate the individual that enjoys designing and building. On
a corporate level we believe that total cost will be less and job enjoyment
will be a win/win. Our goal is to be highly competitive and profitable and
the methods used several years ago don't seem to work in today's workplace.

Rate of pay depends upon so many variables. I believe that we are
competitive to start and then rise above market as we find the right
choices. With each time we hire our goal is to trade up....not down...not
sideways. We have not spent much time looking on a local basis as we have
had success using newsgroups.

If you feel that you are not the correct candidate but know some who is then
please share with them our contact information.

You can call Marshall Eakes 336-274-1131 x 205 or email:
Our websites are
www.aeplastics.com and www.aimolding.com. We are located in Greensboro,
North Carolina. http://www.greensboronc.org/


Best Wishes and thanks,

Gunner,

I thought we'd be able to agree on this subject.

What do you consider a drug? I don't think we'd have any apprentices at work
(there are more than a dozen) if marijuana was an issue.

As I said before, coming to work drunk or high will get you fired or worse.
What more do you need?

Regards,

Robin

 

Any substance that effects your judgement or common sense while on the
job, is a substance that robs the employer of what he hired the
employee for. Be it cough medicine, or cocaine. Not to mention
putting both other employees and the company at risk of injury or
large sums of money.

Ive been hurt twice by ass holes who were either drunk or high, while
on the job. One of them cost me 6 months of painful painful physical
therapy. The other one gave me a life time of additional pain
whenever the weather changes. And the first of two back surgeries.

I left the oilfields because drugs and drunks were so prevalent, and
because of the injuries received.

When you come on your shift, and as you step up on the drilling floor,
a roach falls out of the derrick, you know you have a problem and
sooner or later someone is going to get hurt. That was the night I
simply turned in my time, and went home, never to work in the patch
again. 3 days later, someone died because the derrick hand was
stoned.

To nip it in the bud, (pun intended). Often its hard to tell when some
is groked and if they are getting stoned or drunk on the job...shrug..

I know people who go through life drunk or high. They do good work,
show up on time and are good employees. They however are in the
minority.

If Im hireing someone, its not only my right but my responsiblity to
make sure that if I say no drugs or drunks..that term of their
employment is followed.

Dont like it? Dont come to work for me, or any other company with
that policy.

I believe that virtually all drugs should be legalized. Even the bad
ones like crack. The money spent on the War on Some Drugs could be
far better spent in prevention, education and treatment.

However, its still my right to hire only those that I wish to
hire..and I wont hire pot heads or drunks or other users of drugs that
tend to **** you up.

End program. Full stop. Alto. Halt.

So, it's not an invasion of privacy?

Regards,

Robin

 

Injuries were received due to chronic drug/alcahol abuse, or coming to work
stoned/drunk?

So it's ok to do it as long as you don't come to work under the influence of
drugs/alcahol?

Wait wait wait.

I thought drug testing was to test for use, as an absolute.

Either the employee is using, or he is not. Where's the connection to
dangerous work habits?

Are all employees tested at the beginning of each, and throughout their,
shift?

Regards,

Robin

 

**** no. Now if I had a rule that I could come into your home and piss
test you because you may be using at home, that would be.

Until they come up with a "under the influence" test that can be used
at work, piss testing is the only reliable method to make sure that
the person you hire to perform a job, is not likely to be under the
influence while performing that job.

When that test hits the market, then Ill agree that there is no reason
for piss testing.

But then...Im sure folks will piss and moan about having to take one
of those too, on the job.

Frankly I dont give a damn if you burn the herb on your own time. Jost
dont come to work impared. And as Ive said..at the moment..there is
no reliable way to tell if you are impared on the job, or not.

Then there is the little matter of if you give a damn if your employee
is engaged in illegal activity off or on the job. Drugs..or many of
them are illegal to use.

Shrug. If you had an employee who was a burglar or petty thief, or a
car thief, on his own time, would you still employ him?

They were stoned and drunk on and off the job. Thats one of the big
issues. Lots of folks simply continue their substance abuse on the
job, or show up still drunk or high.

Works for me. Now how do you prove that they are not under the
influence? Or are going to get that way sometime during their shift?

As far as Im concerned, substance abuse ALWAYS leads to dangerous work
habits or a brain fart sooner or later.

Nope, but Id not have a problem with such being done, if you can
figure out a way to do so simply and economicly..

Marshall,
What an intelligent response, hopefully these posters who don't like
drug tests and only care about the pay rate don't speak for the
majority of people available, or we are all gonna be speaking Chinese.

 

Most probably have to be brighter than fundies & wingers.

Know your employees & set them the proper jobs. There's
usually something both safe & productive about anyone can
do. Frisk the wingers though.

 

As long as we get to bill by the week and you pay all expenses,
first class.
