Memo my former employer put out on friday

[bedspirit]

Check out this memo that my former employer put out on Friday:

11/09/12

To : All *** Employees

From : **********

*** provides this memo in response to the recent passage of Initiative 502 concerning the legalization of marijuana. *** wants to make clear its expectation regarding drug use and the consequences to eliminate any confusion.

***’S DRUG POLICIES REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. *** CONTINUES TO PROHIBIT YOU FROM EITHER USING MARIJUANA OR HAVING MARIJUANA IN YOUR SYSTEM DURING WORK PERIODS.

*** will continue to test for marijuana in accordance with its drug testing procedures. If you are drug tested ( and you probably will be, due to our random drug testing policy ) and are found to have marijuana in your system, that fact will be reported to *** as a positive drug test. At that time, you will have to go through the same steps that you would go through if you tested positive for cocaine, heroine, or any other illegal drug in order to keep your job. A second positive test within 7 years will result in an automatic termination of your employment.

Simply put: you still can’t smoke marijuana if you wish to work at ***.

If you have any questions regarding this notice m please feel free to call me at Ex. ***.​

The power of big corporations strike again.

"The law says you can; but if you want to keep your job, you can't."

more bullshit fear tactics to take away freedoms of their workers.

i like the part where it says it's the same as testing positive for coke or heroin or any other ILLEGAL DRUG.. wtf, don't they realize that weed was just legalized?? that would mean it's no longer an illegal substance.. wtf, that's some bs right there.. i wonder if they're going to fire people for having tobacco or booze in their system's as well..
