That third panel of the first comic just makes it. It's still funny if you remove it, but that panel included just makes it top tier.

arent only low playing entry jobs the ones that do records checks and drug testing(lol what do you think sober musk is even like).

got to gently caress over those min. pay people. pay for these two things before you even get hired. also you only get the money back if you work long enough through the trial peroid.

When I was a team lead at the drug plant I worked at, they pulled a test on everyone on 2nd and 3rd shift because someone found a dirty needle right outside the not-sealed men's bathroom door into the cleanroom-adjacent hallways you weren't allowed to exit out of. It wasn't some bullshit, either, I was walking into the gowning area and had to call people to tell them to figure poo poo out, because I saw the loving rig in the hallway and just hung my head.

Everyone on 2nd and 3rd had to line up for a piss test, but not 1st or the managers.

That went over really well when they all left for the day through the sea of people waiting to piss in a cup while they were talking poo poo about efficiency.

They didn't catch the person shooting heroin in the facility; however, they did catch one of the guys I totally needed on my shift taking 2-day-expired muscle relaxers because he had hip surgery 6 months prior.

Hang on hang on. There’s absolutely no way they can take the cost of the drug test out of your salary is there?

I've never encountered paying for the test before, companies already have a particular lab or local offices in mind that they work with and just give you the paperwork to bring with you.

It's also about keeping convicted felons from finding gainful employment, reoffending as they have nothing else, and going back into for-profit prisons.

Because that's the real racist dogwhistle hidden in there; Minorities are always scary criminals to them, even if someone has already done their time and earnestly applying and looking for a job.

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
like 10 years ago i faked out labcorp for a job at motorola, the first company to ever implement on-hire drug tests. poo poo is a joke. ordered 100ml of clean canadian piss in a tube and dripped that out while yelling "i cant go, can i close the door?" and the tech just rolled her eyes and said "sure fine, just don't flush, pussy" and boom, job

meanwhile there are a lot of contractors and physical labor companies run by somebody that's on the wrong side of this system and they'll happily hire anybody on the rocks who's worked rehab a bit, and they build the best houses and honestly work hard cause they've seen what's on the other side

Looks like the coalition has a problem with free speech! Maybe they've had a little too much DEI kool-aid. Elon should inform them of a little thing called the second amendment!

It should also be noted you have to gently caress up incredibly badly to make the half-melted wax mannequin brought to life that is Peter Dutton get on the same page as Labour and offer a united front on anything.

Like, it's almost unheard of for him to agree to anything that might actually benefit people.
