  • The worst part about getting a new job.

    Is having to get the pre-employment physical. I've fasted since yesterday around 6pm and in two hours I'm off to get pooked and prodded by some old doctor. At least I'm having lunch with my girlfriend.

    Hopefully she will pook you as well.

      ACK!

          Is good physical condition required for the job?

          I've never been physically inspected for employment before.

            They dont require physicals when you clean dishes.

              In California they sort of have to check to make sure they aren't hiring junkies...

                I'm sure if I was getting pooked, I'd type poorly too.....

                  It's not a physical, I don't imagine. You'll piss in a cup.

                    In geology you end up doin a lot of field work so they want to check people out before they do it to make sure they don't have heart conditions or what not. Also the insurance company wants to verify what people's hearing is like before hand just so no one can later claim and existing condition was caused by the employer.

                      No it is a complete physical but there is also a drug test.

                      The good news is a got a nice $8k raise by jumping to a new employer.

                        The worse thing about new jobs is losing vacation time.
                        Unless you're smart enough to negotiate that before accepting your new job.

                          Unless you live in somewhere in the world that doesn't have outrageously harsh holiday entitlements like they do in the US.
