If you can't abstain from sex for 30 days it's a sign that you can't get your shit together, abstain from sex and pass a sex test.



Yes. And?

What point are you trying to make?

Are you implying people can not abstain from sex for a month?


Do you really think that's an appropriate job requirement? Should we also have fasting requirements for our jobs? For context I don't smoke, but I'm also not deluded enough to think that we should be testing arbitrary datapoints about their personal life. If they can do the job, they should get the job, and if they can't then they shouldn't. If you aren't hiring capable workers because of puritanical ideals you're wasting money.


> What point are you trying to make?

Drug tests are completely arbitrary, unrelated to job performance, and employers who use those drug tests don't deserve any sympathy when it comes to labor shortage.
