Amazon’s Answer to Delivery Driver Shortage: Recruit Pot Smokers

Post by The Aspie Toker »

"The company is advising its delivery partners -- the mom and pops that operate the ubiquitous blue Amazon vans -- to prominently advertise that they don’t screen applicants for marijuana use, according to correspondence reviewed by Bloomberg and interviews with four business owners.

Doing so can boost the number of job applicants by as much as 400%, Amazon says in one message, without explaining how it came up with the statistic. Conversely, the company says, screening for marijuana cuts the prospective worker pool by up to 30%.

Yeah that thc testing shit needs to go, if someone can pass a sobriety test ie touch their nose etc and walk in a straight line that’s good enough for me.
