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.
preaching to the choir a bit on lemmy (or i would hope so at least) but still
I work in consulting so we often have to follow the rules that our clients impose on us. I once did IT work for a large utility company, who tested all of their employees since they have people operating heavy machinery and working in dangerous situations. One of the people that failed the test was the Client Engagement Lead (the highest ranked person on our project). Fortunately the client realized that IT workers don’t need to be held to the same standards as someone operating dangerous equipment and allowed them to retake the test.
Most recently, one of our clients thought we were drug testing our consultants but then realized we weren’t. So they told us we’d have to all get tested, even though many of us had been working for them for years. They, smartly, gave us a 3 week notice of when the testing would be.
