Background Check and Drug Screen for Onsite Contract Gig...

[Hrabovsky]

I just got this email asking how I would handle this.
To preface it, I know she's not a criminal, but may be a doper.

A company wants me to work for 8 weeks on site. They want to run background tests and a drug screen. I don't feel I should have to do it but don't know how to talk to them about it. I have already been here two weeks and they are just now bustin this out on me, so I have been stalling.

More than likely it's a liability issue for the company.

Any bright ideas? Not an issue with contract work I've ever encountered.

I ain't pissing in a cup for no one. It's the principle of the thing. ....really, it is.

Unless it was explicitly stated BEFORE work began, tell them to go fuck themselves. If it was stipulated somewhere in writing and she missed it, then she's gotta shit or get off the pot.

Always read shit before you sign it.

I can sell you some pee, it smells like coffee though....

I'd agree with what Richie said.

put the pee on the outside of the cup

The only job I ever had to piss in a cup for was the worst job I've ever had, and the other people working there with me regularly ran behind the dumpsters to smoke crack.

Come on Dan, the first Flatstock EU wasn't THAT bad!

i have had a lot of friends where drug tests were thrown on them long after they had the job - mostly because of new company buy-outs. ALL of them smoked pot. none of them lost their jobs. i don't think they are looking for pot - at least not in austin.
