Can your employer legally make you submit to a "random colonoscopy"?

[LeftyFingerPop]

Thanks.

[Dr Morbius]

1. Depends on who you work for, I suppose! (nt)

[woo me with science]

2. Not mine, but I think yours can. nt

[Brother Buzz]

3. A random colonoscopy?

What, like they catch you on the loading dock and demand you drop your drawers?

I had to wait almost a month for a scheduled one, and then it took a lot of work the night before, if you know what I mean. There is nothing random about a colonoscopy.

[Demoiselle]

32. I agree Brother Buzz...random colonoscopy just sounds wrong.

Maybe it means they go in through the ear...

[Tobin S.]

4. Only if you don't flush the toilet at work.

[Fast Dude]

5. I'm not a lawer but..

I seriously doubt ANY employer can make you submit to such a radical unnecessary medical procedure. This is not pissing a bottle. You actually have to be anesthetized during the procedure.

I would tell my employer, "see you in court".

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. Thanks, Fast Dude...

I'm kind of scared...I start drinking that prep stuff tonight. I don't want to piss off my employer.

[elleng]

23. Right.

No.

I am a lawyer. (This is not free legal advice, just free 'human' advice.)

[ismnotwasm]

6. How random?

Or how often while being random? Are you sure that they mean a colo---oh, never mind.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

7. If we're lucky, they can

I'm looking forward to it already. There's nothing more fun than a little prod up the poopshoot.

[BuelahWitch]

8. Only if they're anal probing aliens

Somehow I can see you getting a job on an alien space ship...

[Ptah]

9. What do you think the seatbelts on the toilets are for?

[BuelahWitch]

10. Where's the little monkey?

LFP will miss him. :cry:

[Ptah]

11. Here is the little one

[LeftyFingerPop]

14. No sex threads.

Thank you.

(I love that guy)

[Capn Sunshine]

12. no, but Skinner can

whether he will however is another issue entirely

15. Every single motherfucking day I worked at Cisco Systems was a "random colonoscopy"

I already posted my Cisco rant in another thread, last night, so I won't repost it here. But the short answer to your question is YES. They just call it SOMETHING ELSE.

[LeftyFingerPop]

16. I read your other rant...

It sounds like a completely charming place to work. :rofl:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

17. Every day, something new from someone new in your ass.

My 25 word or less description of the Joy of Working for Cisco Systems.

[LeftyFingerPop]

19. I worked at a place like that 10 years ago...

"Every day, something new from someone new in your ass".

Perfect description.

Ten years later, I still have nightmares of that place about once a week.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

21. Programmer from India had a gravely ill mom...

...he was a contractor. Said he needed to go home and see her. He was asked "How long will you be gone?" He replied "I don't know...I have to stay untilk she is well enough for me to leave." They said "Don;t bother looking for your job if and when you come back."

So he DID come back, and went to work for a competitor in Oakland, and Cisco found out, and hired him again...not because they gave a rat's ass about whether he or his mom lived or died. No, they just couldn't have him working for the competition.

Oh, and one other thing...Cisco is Xenu-fied. They use L. Ron Hubbard's Management Principles.

It's basically reward the top 10% who hit their numbers, crucify the bottom 10% who do not, and make the remaining 80% fully aware that they could be placed into either group by management. Reviews come up every quarter. People piss their pants to see where they are "on the list."

Dear God, did I hate that fucking place. The good that came from it is I said "enough is enough" and started my own business.

[LeftyFingerPop]

22. Sounds like a hell hole...

I'm glad that you were able to venture out on your own. From the pictures that you occasionally post, it seems like you are very good at what you do...and I'm sure that happiness in your career is a result of that. :fistbump:

[Wapsie B]

25. Oh quarterly reviews! That brings back memories.

I feel your pain.

[raccoon]

18. Take him up on it, if he's paying for it. I understand they are expensive. nt

[LeftyFingerPop]

20. I'm 51 and I've already had three of them.

[MajorChode]

24. My union tried to fight this, but was unsuccessful

However, they did make them stop using the same scopes for colonoscopies and endoscopies.

[Shine]

26. Please tell me you're kidding.

....b/c the implications of your question are deeply concerning. OK, maybe I shouldn't use the word "deeply", but you get the idea. ;)

[mysuzuki2]

27. Yes they can -

but only if it is part of an official FBI investigation into the Jimmy Hoffa disappearance

[Skittles]

28. mine does it on a daily basis

[Radical Activist]

29. Best laugh I've had all day.

Thanks.

[MiddleFingerMom]

30. OMG!!! You just made me channel a Freeper!!!!!

31. is that what they are calling yearly evaluations these days...?

with my cost of living raise based on my performance and not to exceed 3% of the hourly rate.

[UndertheOcean]

33. What if he claims that his penis is an attached cybernetic anal probe ... do you believe him ?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

34. But... up your heiney is where they're most comfortable!
