Amazon announced it will stop testing the majority of job seekers for marijuana.
The change in policy means the company will treat marijuana similar to how they treat alcohol; while they will not include it in pre-employment screenings, they will “continue to do impairment checks on the job and will test for all drugs and alcohol after any incident,” according to a blog post.
The announcement also included Amazon’s support of an effort in Congress to legalize marijuana on the federal level. More than a dozen states have enacted laws in the last few years that legalize the use of marijuana.
“We will no longer include marijuana in our comprehensive drug screening program for any positions not regulated by the Department of Transportation, and will instead treat it the same as alcohol use.”
Can’t wait to see Jeff Spicoli drop off packages!!!
(Psst Amazon, give Sean Penn a call, I’m sure he’d do a commercial!!!!)
HAHAHAHAHHA
ok, so they have to have the covid vaccine or wear a marker (like the yellow stars the jewish people had to wear so they could mark them for execution) but can be high as a kite, welcome to socialist america
Most companies are doing this now. No one cares about people smoking weed.
“Mr. Spicoli, what do you think you are doing?”
“Eatin Pizza, learning about Cuba Mr. Hand!”
HAHAHAHAH
Personally, give me brownies any day!
Have you seen their trucks they are beat to hell for being so new. No one ever mentions their graphic logo is very phallic. It’s as if right on the box they are saying ” Bend over America “.
Is seeing that with or without brownies? Whoop whoop
Did the Amazon Smile logo just get broader?
Employer’s have a duty to provide a safe workplace. Their drivers, pilots and aircraft mechanics will still be covered by FAA & DOT prohibitions. But they’re effectively saying that they’ll hire the potheads for all other jobs and do some testing after the accident. Historically there is very strong correlation between substance abuse (all kinds) and workplace accidents. They’re just asking to become a preferred employer of drug fanciers, and to endure more of the excitement those people bring to the workplace.
