What, some of them are supposed to fall off when you get old? 
Damn, I’d better check the warranty on my human suit!
Thats very interesting. I am the exact opposite. Of course, it depends on the job to be fair.
But i suppose if the employee can go all 8 hours without any nicotine and also not have an attitude, i would be in agreement with you. But that hasnt been my experience around smokers that are jonesing.
All that aside, i have no.issue with acompany having a dress code or no drug policy, if it is very clear from the get go. People not willing to comply, need not apply.
Try and make a woman wear a skirt as a company dress code in canada in 2021 haha. Walking on egg shells.
I got asked that once and left it blank. The interviewer asked again in the interview. I said I smoked maybe two a day, and he wrote that down.
Perhaps a fair compromise would be in rewording such as:
Do you need to smoke at work?
That would seem a fair question to pose a potential employee at the filtering stage, no?
I mean, no employer gives a crap if you smoke at home or off the job. They care about smoking on the job, withdrawal behaviours, plant pathogens etc.
A long long time ago, when you went for an employment heath check before getting a work permit, some hospitals made you do a stool test. Some made you pull your britches down and checked your front and back. Just the legs, it wasn’t an STD test. Last time I had to have one, they didn’t even make you pee.
Try and make a man not wear a skirt as a company dress code in canada in 2021 haha.
They don’t do the stool test anymore? Disappointing.
What exactly is considered smoking?
I smoke maybe a pack a month.
What about a pack a year?
pack a decade?
I think most people would mean it to say smoking while on company time. I would presume. The issue isnt quantity so much as when and where.
That wasnt that long ago. i remember my ultra uncomfortable situation at the hospital. What a time for constipation, farck me. I refused, loudly, to do the squirt up the butt with their weird little syringe sorta contraption to make you shit. and decided it was worth the 3.5 hour drive to go back the next day to poo. Where i lived i had to drive to kaohsiung city for some dumb ass reason and i lived in stixville pintung. I ate night market the first failed day, cause i was in kaohsiung and sho uld have some fun while there. Got the runs and tried to hold it for the nurse the next morning back in ktown. Let me tell you, riding a scooter after 3 days of no shitting followed by bad nightmarket food in 33 degree humid as fuck sun on a scooter isnt a day i will soon forget no mater how senile i become.
The nurse got more than she bargained for when she was busy being bitchy to me. And as a tit for tat, didnt flush…
Did they squirt it or did you? Hospitals seem to be slightly different in their requests. Taipei City Hospital Ren-ai has the least nonsense now. Mackay is ok, but less easy to navigate.
DIY baby. The Thai guy with his slave driver in front of me was so angry he only looked red. Like me out in the sun all day. no joke. Red… I will always remever that poor bastards face arguing with his agent that he couldnt. God damn visas used to be so degrading.
I like to tell me wife “If I had to do it to come here you can do it cos you haven’t had a shit in a week!”
Having said that I’ve blocked toilets with my high fibre and fruit and veg diet in some of the smaller towns across Taiwan. You’d almost need a shovel to break them up. Thankfully where I am now I’m high enough up in the air so that gravity helps the drop.
Dear lord. If there ever comes a time we visit, outdoors would be best for everyone. I respect the clogging skill.
When they ask what happened, please do me a favor and tell them: old pipes. In mandarin. Drop mic, walk away.
What difference would that make? Phlebotomists take blood, not give it. And I’m baffled why you’d think people with HIV can’t be surgeons? Many people with HIV are undetectable which means HIV cannot be transmitted.
If people asked me any of these questions in such a context, I’d say “ask your momma”.
My go-to answer would be to … leave it blank.
Well, my issue is on many occasions I see them with cuts and they often do not wear gloves. I would say, even now, I have to ask the person to wear new gloves when taking my blood. half of those times they also have a weird attitude as if I am being unreasonable. I wouldnt want them to have any disease frankly. based on their lack lustre standards of sanitation and safety. I would include things like hepatitis into the mix as well.
Sanitation is one thing. I am agree there. But I can’t agree that people should be discriminated based based on health status as a general rule. Some exceptions might apply, like someone prone to heart attacks shouldn’t be an astronaut.
Doctors have more risk from contracting diseases from patients during surgery than the other way around. Also, I’m pretty sure that surgeons always wear gloves, except maybe not in the 19th century when you could have a tooth pulled, a shave and a haircut, and have your gout treated conveniently taken care of the barber.
I agree. but like a heart attack risk with an astronaut, so is a communicable disease risk to the patient. I dont support discrimination, but I do support this level of diligence. as I would support no alcohol on the race track or doctors with covid giving surgeries. I dont view that as discrimination, I view that as logical preventative measures and a portion of a very basic SOP. In my industry, we dont get away with that level of risk. we even need health checks annually to prove we are free of certain risks. and we just deal with food. I support that level of protection to the public from companies and business.
but to be fair, I was also talking the folks taking blood, not surgeons. you always see the prisoners going in, people getting tested for drugs, hiv etc etc. all the same person taking the blood and not cleaning anything between people. it is truly just a farce in my book.
