The Journal reported executives at SpaceX worried Elon Musk was on drugs after an “unhinged” all-hands meeting in which he slurred and rambled.

Drug tests are just to keep their boots on the faces of the workers. It’s disgusting and invasive.
Because there are no instances in history where forcing drug use had been weaponized at the international level. Man, sometimes it’s so easy to see how lemmy is close to the same dark web that spams drug adverts on matrix.
You’re seriously suggesting that drug tests are designed to protect employees from employers forcing them to do drugs? That’s ridiculous.
False username, not sentient.
Don’t be silly. Drug testing is largely for worker’s comp. Think the insurance wants to pay out on an accident a fucked up employee got into? That has nothing to do with the employer.
That’s why the vast majority of jobs coded as “clerical” do not require a test. Employers don’t want to pay for all that if they don’t have to.
EDIT: Lemmings who know nothing of the employment field, but want to get righteously angry.
If I smoke a joint on the weekend that has nothing to do with an injury on a Thursday.
but thanks to decades of war on drugs propaganda, if you smoke a joint on the weekend you’re a bad and dangerous person and it’s not just acceptable but incumbent upon Real God-Fearing Americans©™® to hurt you however they can.
I’m sorry you’re eating downvotes but this is the absolute truth in a lot of cases. I put in 18 years at various restaurants, worked every position except manager. I’ve never needed a drug test to get a job, and every job I ever had in that industry people were definitely on drugs at work, but drug tests are mandatory after a workplace injury. The reason being they don’t actually care whether you’re high at work but they can use the fact that almost everyone in a restaurant is high in order to cut costs under the guise of “workplace safety”.
There are exceptions, though. For instance, anyone who works in any capacity in the aviation industry is legally required to be tested for drugs. That includes, for example, software engineers working on booking systems.
Yep! Aviation is a whole nother world.
