Ak Gara posted:I wonder if including a drug screening report for a job interview is common? I've had a few jobs that required similar. Drug tests are easy mode, I've had a few that included hooking me up to machines to check my pulse/etc in certain circumstances. Also brain activity (I must of lucked out on that one) One actually had full body measurements like I was getting tailored for a new suit. I joked when they did my stomach circumference "Is this measurement to figure out how fat my gut is so someone can cut a curve in the front of my desk perfectly to match?" To this day I don't know - but drat if they got that desk spot on.

Efexeye posted:haha i had to post this because we were having the drug testing discussion earlier Did your wife mistake someone's speech disability for being drunk? Haha Based on employer polls, a bit more than half of American companies drug test everyone they hire, but that number has been falling in part because so many people are failing their drug tests and it turns out not to matter a whole lot if your employees get high on their own time. Though there's a big problem finding candidates for police departments where otherwise qualified candidates smoked weed in the past, increasing legally too.

Efexeye posted:no no, the guy is saying that alcoholism is a protected class under ADA I would legit be curious how that claim would work out and the specific legal reasoning one way or the other. I know where I work that if someone showed up drunk, they couldn't be fired for it if they claimed they were an alcoholic, unless they either refused to get treatment or didn't complete treatment, at least for office staff, since our HR manager told me that it's considered a medical condition.

neonbregna posted:It's a disease so why not? he's not an employee of the company yet also the job requires driving which eliminates any reasonable accomodation edit: "Q. Are alcoholics covered by the ADA? A. Yes. While a current illegal user of drugs is not protected by the ADA if an employer acts on the basis of such use, a person who currently uses alcohol is not automatically denied protection. An alcoholic is a person with a disability and is protected by the ADA if s/he is qualified to perform the essential functions of the job. An employer may be required to provide an accommodation to an alcoholic. However, an employer can discipline, discharge or deny employment to an alcoholic whose use of alcohol adversely affects job performance or conduct. An employer also may prohibit the use of alcohol in the workplace and can require that employees not be under the influence of alcohol." boar guy fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Jul 20, 2017 |

Azathoth posted:I would legit be curious how that claim would work out and the specific legal reasoning one way or the other. Alcoholism is a covered disability under the ADA, but in any court case that's the kind of thing that'd be determined on an individual basis. And "Was literally drunk juring his job interview" is a pretty solid and defensible reason to deny employment.

Efexeye posted:he's not an employee of the company yet Doesn't matter. The ADA prohibits discrimination in hiring on the basis of a disability, unless the disability would make it impossible to do the job, after providing the person with reasonable accommodation. So for instance it's not acceptable to say "we can't hire a guy in a wheelchair as a DMV clerk because we would have to buy him a special desk" but it is okay to say "we can't hire a guy in a wheelchair as a miner because it is not realistically possible to make a coal mine into a suitable workplace for him" So it comes down to whether alcoholism is legally recognized as a disability, which I don't know. The act is very broad in its definition of disability, so it probably is, especially if the guy is currently being treated for it.

Not that it mattered, they wanted to pay me whatever min wage was then, like 5 something probably, I went and got a job that paid 10 an hour and sometimes gave me free beer because they had leftovers.

Did I handle this electrical emergency correctly?quote:Woman in the apartment above me had an overflowing toilet last night. Must have been going on for a while. Family and I get home after this and while my wife is taking a poop when the socket on the wall starts sputtering and smoking. I bound in and unplug the night light (I was really hoping it was just faulty) but the socket just smokes some more. Dash to the entryway to grab the extinguisher, drop it off in the bathroom then get in the closet on the opposite side of the smoking socket to get to the fusebox. I only know enough about electricity to amateur-hour my way through light DIY stuff. How close did I get to real danger?

Well you did recieve a shock, so danger status 100% all in. You shook hands with the devil and got lucky. Once you saw water in the breaker panel the correct move would have been to have power disconnected further upstream either at the branch feeding your panel or if need be the entire building. The feed to your main disconnect was still live after you flipped it and was quite capable of exploding had water shorted across it. IMO if landlord / building services were unreachable an emergency call to the fire dept. would have been justified to get the building power shut down shame on an IGA fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Jul 20, 2017 |
