in thread Headhunters and exclusivity clauses

lemming brings up a good point here:

I never peed in a cup for them either.

I'm willing to bet that most people swayed by the biting "documentary" stories they see on Dateline, and other hard-hitting news programs, would immediately say, "This person refuses to submit to a piss test, so he must be doing drugs." That's disturbing that most "mainstream Americans" would accept this form of intrusion (any type of drug testing) without flinching. So, I figured I would just say thanks to lemming for "stickin' it to da man". :)

As an aside, it'd be interesting to see variations of this in a poll. I'm wondering if it's truly an extension of the community's support of privacy or if it's a necessary extension for fear of being caught. Furthermore, does recreational use (if applicable) affect your ability to work?

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!

    At one company I used to work for, there was an unwritten policy of not doing drug tests, since we would have lost a great amount of our creative talent...

      Someone who works for a company that's thinking of hiring an American joked: "We have random drug tests too. They blindfold us, give us a pill, and half an hour later they ask us what it was."

      Not exactly how things work here, but I haven't heard of the other kind of drug tests either. I think it would be quite an invasion of privacy.

    Yeah, for what it worth (and, market willing, I'm worth a reasonable amount); I'll never pee in a cup for anybody. If they've got a question about my 'past life' (hey, I'm married w/ a child, those days are, alas, alack and its not so bad, over) or my "usage" ask me, but no amount of cash'll get a sample out of me.

    Or so I say I now, the 'w' future may be different ;->.
