Take this in: Sleepy, craving caffeine you drag yourself slowly to the front of the line for morning coffee. You have a side of staff drug test gossip with the person in front of you. Your main course of extra hot latte, half-caf, is right next to a hold the whipped cream nightmare that you have been testing out all month. Employee Drug Screening at work can feel like your favorite café ran out of croissants—unexpected yet annoying. Good news is; knowing is half the battle for lack of a better expression.

Now let’s get into why companies subject their personnel to drug testing. It is not just about pointing out a rookie mistake. It is about mixing safety, productivity and stick a dash of accountability in there. Think of a random splatter of cream in your coffee, a business’s reputation is ever so gently developed. If workplace drug use appears quite a bit, it’s like snapping the thread on a loose stitched sweater after years of weaving. One simple test can protect your income and your good name.

Be careful out there, businesses. Anything goes wrong and you can find yourself off the tightrope in a legal jungle of employee claims. Ever tried reading Ikea directions in Swedish and do end up tapping your brain for logic? That is drug screening bureaucratic maze. It is as rewarding as the time you finally made that complex basement pool table move while keeping everyone happy, fair and still being a bit of a stickler for privacy regulations.

Let’s take it a step further by imagining you’re the employee; even though you are as clean as a whistle, the idea of a drug test makes your palms sweat. Anxiety levels just shot up higher than when your mother-in-law sees you making dinner. Look at what the Manny Pacquiao fight offers as well!. There are laws surrounding work that guard your rights and are like a safety cord for trapeze artists. Even when the lights have turned off and no one is around, they work diligently (and suspiciously) to protect you.
