Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

So what you're saying is that people should be allowed to get high on their jobs? Tell me about that next time you're flying and the captain is high off his cracker...
It's not a defeatist or lazy argument either. If you don't like your jobz find a better job. It's called pragmatism.
I'm not saying that certain companies arent extreme dicks with all this, I'm sure there are shitty companies out there. Go work for a different one.
I'm not the one complaining doing nothing, and yes, I've left shitty jobs for better one. Yes, I've tried making things better. Yes, I got a CTO fired for a lost of reasons, one of them being that he couldn't keep his hands off the (male) employees. It got me fired too, which I rather expected, but I did it anyway. So no, I'm not the sit-on-my-ass-and-whine-about-it type, but I'd say that you are.
No, you waffle. Jesus Christ, is that what you're getting from this thread? You think that because people think employers shouldn't use drug tests as a barrier to employment, that means they're ok with people getting high at work? My God dude, get a grip.
Also don't take your experience for granted. Just because you could afford to be fired from a job doesn't mean other people can. Most have to make the best of whatever situation they're in. Have some empathy for those people. Telling them "get a new job 4head" isn't helpful.
