    The problem with that is that quite often protecting you is what protects the company. I’ve worked with a lot of HR people in various sectors, and a large chunk of their job was telling management what they couldn’t legally. do.

      I was in an IBEW union a while ago. I was an average employee, but it was like 9 or 10 bucks an hour, so that’s the work they got. I’m not going to bust my ass all day coming home dead, while all I management just walks and talks and sits in meetings all day. They tried to fire me one time and tried to get me to go with them to take a drug test and I said sure who’s car we taking to go do this? Let’s get this over with cuz I still have work to do. They stopped bothering me after that, but I left not long after cuz the pay was shit. But all my coworkers were cool as fuck inner city peeps from NYC.
