How many, and what sort, of companies/employment test employees?
Obviously the armed forces...but across the board, how common is this? And is it generally focussed on certain types of employment?

Other places are far more strict.
I'm not sure it will ever get huge though, most companies dont want to bother with the expence, its a pricey business doing testing, especially accurate ones.
i think if you take a look at the company, the business its involved in will probably give you the answer...anything like airlines or something where your reactionas an capability are keeping people alive will certainly be a candidate.
Thank fuck.
as if working in a supermarket is that hardest job that needs utmost concentration?!?!?! it baffles me...
A good human resources relationship could do away with all random drug testing anyway.
random drug testing is also one of the great ways for a round of no-questions-asked office layoffs, although this is quite a cynical view is can and has happened, particularly in the US
yea its so stupid. what people do in their own time should be no ones business but their own. If their going to be stupid and on drugs at work then theyre probbaly going to be fired anyway. If they're still a great worker even fucked out of their mind then who the fuck cares?!?!?
i dont think it matters if a person does drugs on not on the job (unless its a job that has a responsablilty of other people's lives involed)... unless their a shitty worker as a result of it.
