A night shift worker recently went viral on Reddit after sharing a story that had thousands of people shaking their heads. They left their jacket behind and grabbed a blanket to stay warm; they just happened to have sunglasses on their head. And that was enough for their manager to request a drug test. The worker’s response? They turned in their badge, gave two seconds’ notice, and walked away.
While the story has generated plenty of laughs on the internet, it also poses a really important question: what really constitutes "reasonable suspicion" when it comes to workplace drug testing, and are some employers abusing this tool to weed employees out the door?
