Is it still "random" if they are going to test all employees. ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,589 #3 March 16, 2011 They're not saying all employees are going to be tested. Just that all are subject to random testing. Had they meant that all employees would be tested, they'd've said "all employees will be randomly tested." Wendy P. (former NASA contractor who was randomly tested)There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep. It's like saying that everyone's roll of the dice will be random. It's still random even if it's random for everyone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
