It's really crazy how many people will risk losing their jobs over the need to be a pot-head. But I don't know anyone who lost their job over it.
I've never even heard of such a case.

ATTN MEMBERS:
who wants to bet me that AFN fav racist White HISP, cop, will not enter this thread with any facts nor truths to protect Black males against the dishonest nonsense his cliqmates post here?
see me at Paypal, for your wagers. Racist cops should be fired, or facing some sort of prosecution for using their position to engage in illegal activities.

I don't give a damn why anybody smoke weed, black or white.
I think I pointed that out! - Quote:

The inability to deal with issues, in which plagues, most black men.
The fact that the intact of this drug is affecting your 'brothers' and you don't care, is exactly what is being stated. Do tell us, what do 'real black men' like you guys, care about? Surely it's not education, crime, diseases, etc..for those things are prevalent, so it must be something else.. I don't care about guns either but I'm not going to hit the streets and tell niggas to put them down. Weed is the least of a black man's problems. There are plenty of successful black folks smoking weed and how do I not have the ability to deal with black issues and UTB does, just because he post this bullshit?

It's really crazy how many people will risk losing their jobs over the need to be a pot-head. When I was in HR, I took a risk on a young man. I told him, you are not like the others. You don't have the same tenure as them, the same title as them, nor the backing of this company, as them.
He went out with them one night, smoked with them, and didn't know, we had random drug testing. He got tested, (due to his 90 day probation period ending), and tested positive.
I called him down, told him the results, he got mad, and I said, which is more important to you?
To be able to do what others do, or to keep a roof over your fuk'n head, feed your damn kids, and buy them school clothes?
I had his dumb ass escorted off the premises!!

But I don't know anyone who lost their job over it. I've never even heard of such a case. In addition to poor work performance, coming to work with red eyes is seen as an indicator of marijuana use.
Also, and failing a drug test usually will result in someone being fired, or not being hired.

Recreational habits are for those who can afford them.
You, not UTB, YOU are one of the many, always decrying about how the white man, gets away with murder..
You are the one, who should be doing something about it..if not, then stop 'whining' about it.
It's just that easy.

HR folks do administer random drug tests.
Some people can't even go through a probation period drug free.
Somehow, the need to get high comes before the need to secure stable income.

But I don't know anyone who lost their job over it. I've never even heard of such a case. Most jobs run back ground checks and do drug screens, before hire.
After that, they can do random or annual checks, depending on the policy of the company.
We did them randomly on the nurses, doctors, PT, OT, do to them having access to drugs, and the nature of their job.

So what happened to the "Big Whigs" that smoked too? Were they black or white? Why didn't they set a better example for this young man. You worked for a company that didn't give a shit about it's young black folks but you're calling us out?

I'm not aware of any abilities lost in me when I wasn't high on it. Never did I perform poorly on the job.
