Just Say Yes

Today, my boss decided to have the whole staff drug tested and fire everyone who failed. Out of an original staff of 14 people, only my boss, two coworkers and I remain. I now have four times my normal workload and am seriously thinking maybe I should've said "Yes" to drugs. FML

I think now you should ask for a raise in your salary since you have more work to do

Really guys? That is literally what Mr. Mackey said after that. Why the downvotes?

What so you're looking for upvotes? For shame.......

Nah, just adding my input, which apparently no one understands. oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Maybe he was having financial problems, and he saw this as an easy way to let go of some employees.

You literally took the words out of my mouth. Companies do this all the time. If they need to downsize and they're not at will employers they will fire you over really anything, drug test is just the easiest way because then they don't pay for unemployment.

You should get a higher raise

A higher raise so her OP's check can be under the influence.

woa... what is it that you guys do to in order to have 70% of the staff take drugs!

Just because someone has done drugs doesn't mean they're druggies or have drug problems. A lot of people smoke pot recreationally (on the weekends, at parties), or to wind down, the same way some people will have a beer. I personally don't see a problem with it as long as they're not high on the job, it's not affecting their work, and they're not a doctor, teacher, police officer or anything where someone's wellbeing is in their hands... But then again they probably knew the possibility of drug testing when they got the job, and still did it anyway. lol.

#14, they read and publish FMLs. Some days it's the only way to cope.

I'm more surprised about how many people failed rather than the fact that your boss decided to do that. It's understandable that someone wouldn't want to employ people who do drugs.

Weird form of spring cleaning maybe? Your boss sounds like an asshat.

Always say no to drugs. Ask for a raise now.

ask for a raise. 4x the work deserves something.

I guess he weeded them all out. maybe there wasn't mushroom in the work office.

I don't want to crack your bubble, but maybe their meth was just a bit huff.
