Our HR only does background checks immediately before they make a job offer. It's especially funny because if you already work here, and apply to another department, you know that if you get asked to submit for a background check that you got the job.

Wonderful Wonderful Marketing has decided everyone inside the lawfirm I work at has to have a standard signature and no other and no real ability to change it. Of course this thing is 9-12 lines deep, includes cell numbers private or not, and people are pissed about all of it. 0000 Thursday the system is going to go through and wipe out everyone's signatures and plunk this in and gently caress you deal with it. "The standard email format is mandatory and is being driven by Marketing for consistency and professionalism"

A little bit of liability mixed with not wanting to hire someone that could get nailed on a felony with a dash of not wanting people showing up to work impaired. I make no commentary on it one way or the other, that's just how everything kind of shook out after War On Drugs.

Zero VGS posted:The thing is, if I shrink the C drive partition I don't get the option to extend the system reserved in Disk Management. I can shrink that as well or extend the C back to normal, but can't take anything from C to give to reserved. Makes no sense but all the googling says you have to boot into a thumb drive partition app, and that's not an option for all these production workstations. Perhaps it would be possible to shave 500MB off the C drive, clone the smaller recovery partition into this new space and then expand that partition. I honestly don't know if you can do that with Powershell.

I thought you couldn't fire someone for having alcohol issues, because alcoholism is covered under the ADA? Some quick Googling brings this up: http://www.theemployerhandbook.com/2015/08/under-the-ada-can-you-fire-an-alcoholic-who-doesnt-request-treatment.html Looks like there's a bit of wiggle room, but I doubt any large business would actually try firing someone for an alcohol problem with no other paper trails of fuckupery, due to the legal shitstorm it could cause.

At a previous job, one of my coworkers was working on the floor, supine position and another person dropped a wrench on his face. The injured guy had to take a drug test for insurance reasons. It was literally adding an insult to injury.

It's normally on your resume, so it's not like you never gave it to them. Plus, I think a lot of companies have it on their various paperwork you fill out when you're hired. That doesn't make it okay to put it anywhere that co-workers or (faaaaaaaaar worse) customers/vendors/other companies can see it.

The new IT manager at my old job demanded (literally demanded) my personal number so she could contact me for a project that was going on. I would have given it to her, except that I had heard that she was pressuring a coworker who already had it for my number while I was away. She of course denied this when I confronted her about it, but I had no respect or trust in her, so I kept refusing until I resigned a couple of weeks later. If the company wants to contact me outside of my assigned hours, they can pay for a work phone.

My family business used to be in trucking / towing so we had to have a drug test program based on Federal regulations. Once you test positive you are allowed to come back to work as long as you participate in some type of program. One guy said f-that, I like to smoke weed and quit.

The guy I replaced was up on the satellite dish grid work on the roof and fell. He sliced his leg open and went to the emergency room to get patched up. The station forced him into workman's comp, he failed the drug test, and they fired him on the spot. Welp.

That pretty much means that if you want to drink, and have that kind of job, make sure to push it into full blown alcoholism as quick as you can(you can only get fired for it if you haven't developed the disease!)
