Today, I was at the nursing home I work at, and my boss asked me if I'm serious about my job, telling me that I've been acting strange and not working hard enough. She wants to drug test me. The real reason I'm not 100% is because I have a stomach ulcer from the stress of working there. FML

Today, I was dismissed because of my company's strict "no drugs" policy. Yesterday, I had a talk with my team leader and confessed that I have to take antidepressants; this arse then reported it to the management, and they fired me because they are not aware of what these pills contain, and it could affect my performance.

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

Today, my boss called me out for a drug test. His reason was because my eyes are puffy and bloodshot, making me look high. I've been suffering from allergies all week, but still had to pee in a cup in front of a complete stranger. FML

Today, I was confronted by my superiors for spending a "suspicious" amount of time in the bathroom every day. Not only did I have to take the test, but I also had to send in a doctor's note proving that I have a bowel condition I'd hoped to keep secret. FML

Today, I found out why I receive random drug tests at work. The safety department was specifically told by my boss to check up on me because I always seem way too cheerful to not be high. I've passed every single test. FML

Today, I was prescribed anti-anxiety medication due to the high level of stress that I experience at my job. Unfortunately, I cannot afford the medication because I do not make enough money at said job. FML

Today, my manager gave me hell for leaving the restaurant early yesterday. Guilty as charged, but only because I was rushed to the hospital after going into diabetic shock. This assmunch is convinced that I either faked it all to get off work early, or that I'd been eating our own stock. FML

Today, at work, I felt a sudden, all-too-familiar pain in my stomach. I ran for the restroom, but before I could get there, I shat myself. I had to limp the rest of the way, then beg my boss to let me go home. He said no and told me to get back to work. FML

Today, I had to take a drug test for my new job, which I desperately need and which took me over a year to land. I got a shy bladder and couldn't pee. They marked me as non-compliant and revoked the job offer. FML

Today I was home sick from work because my doctor gave me a new pill that made me throw up violently. My boss called. I thought she was checking on me. She fired me instead. FML

FYL for having a stomach ulcer and being stressed. YDI for making your life even more complicated by not explaining to your boss.

sometimes you shouldn't have to explain evertything, because your boss shouldn't be an asshole

Being concerned with a noticeable drop in performance is not being an asshole. Assuming drugs are involved may show questionable judgment. But, we're not talking about explaining how you wipe your ass, in detail. This is about work related productivity, fool.

Excuse me, but I'm in the healthcare field and work exclusively with the elderly & they are not disgusting old people. And yes, working in a nursing home can cause a lot of stress;residents dying, all of the immature shit that female workers do out of jealousy, long hours, etc.

Get a different job. Nothing is worth that kind of stress.

assuming that one of your employees is on drugs because of a little drop in productivity is being an asshole. there are multiple reasons why your productivity rate can drop, but you pick an outlandish one? really. & hey, your the fool. fool.

Stomach ulcers are caused by pyloric bacteria, not by stress. Sorry.

Stress causes the protective lining of the stomach to diminish, allowing the bacteria to enter and cause the ulcer. Sorry.

In most hospitals and nursing homes, narcotics are pretty easy for staff to get ahold of, so assuming drug use isn't that far-fetched. Unusual behavior in a health care setting generally signals drug use for this very reason.
