new job ~-, drugs 

apparently I _do_ have to do a drug test for the new job and in the next three days

I'm going to fail for weed, and I pretty much just have to hope that it works like last time I took one for a job where I failed only because of weed and it ended up not mattering

while I can say that I'm "used" to jobs having background checks and credit checks, it's really fucked

I mean at least with background checks you can say it's mostly about verification you are who you say you are

but credit checks are a pure class gate that I don't at all see the relevance especially when the whole point of applying to a job is to make money which could be used to deal with credit issues

this is why I absolutely hate scaremongering stories and how China is bad like this because they all operate on some assumption that the US is somehow a bastion of privacy and freedom from that type of stuff

US employment practices are fucked and unconscionable and will most definitely be the sort of things people talk about like they would talk about indentured servitude today

@chimerror I feel like, in a few decades, everything we take for granted - the incredibly mean form of capitalism, the horrifying homophobic politics, the eager non response to global warming- will all be viewed as backwards and cruel, assuming it’s not completely covered up by historical revisionism.
