When applying for a new job do most employers still require drug scans and do they also go through your social media? in c/asklemmy

At my work we do check peoples socials very basically, but the people who have everything set to private arent the concern, we like that. We worry about the ones who have to vomit every little bit of their life onto the internet complete with pictures.

We all have to deal with asshole customers but if your posts start winding up on community pages and other users start tagging the company, you're going to have a bad time. Especially if you violated customer privacy at any point.

Its not that I'm comparing myself to "Perfect" truth is Ive lost 35kg in 2 years, I'm super happy with my progress but I know why I dont look the way I'd like. Im a middle aged man, I dont recover like a 20yo, I have less HGH and test than a 20yo I dont get enough sleep, I have a demanding job and kids... Theres only so many hours in the day, I can only recover so fast, I can only diet and train so hard. For a while it really began to mess with my head.

I'm just saying that people can take exercise and improving themselves to an unhealthy place too. "Treat yoself" isnt a lifestyle, its wallowing in easy dopamine, but a life of depriving yourself of everything that makes you happy and constantly hammering yourself physically is just not sustainable and it can take you places mentally that are just as unhealthy.

Not strange at all, really in c/memes

I have sympathy for his loved ones to some degree, in the same way I have sympathy for the family of people who commit horrible crimes and then have to see their family member taken away and locked up for life.

Im sure he had redeeming qualities to them, but to society he was not a net positive.

Nah, I'm on top of it. I had a real struggle putting the brakes on my last cut. I dropped a kilo(2lbs) a week for 12 weeks and when it came to an end I was like "Number must keep dropping! Number cant go back up!" and it took a few weeks for me to calm down and get back to normal eating. Doesnt help that I have addict wiring in my brain.

I had a lot of empathy for teenage girls for a few weeks, I was SO CLOSE to having visible abs but I was hitting burnout hard and needed to go back to maintenance for a bit.

Yeah but then you hit the point that I'm at which is "I do this SO MUCH and my diet is SO GOOD why do I still look SO AVERAGE!?!

and you see concerning behaviors from yourself that are the beginnings of eating disorder territory and start fucking with supplements that simultaneously "dont work" but yet are banned by sporting bodies... and the stupid exercise becomes part of your mental health problem.
