All’s Fair in Love and War

The phrase that all is fair in love and war might slip off of the understanding of some people, so let us define it a little more clearly. For example, if you were to screw a friend over in your attempt to win a mutually admired girl, then this phrase would apply. Also, if the rules of the game or the international agreements were broken in order to get a particularly helpful initiative through and win a favorable position, then it would also be considered fair under the heading of this phrase.

The only time this phrase does not apply when people use it unilaterally to abuse their friendships and other people in their lives on a regular basis. There must be special circumstances to illicit the use of this appropriate action.

And, as for what is fair, many workers believe that management is screwing them over, while many managers have stated that their employees are just trying to get more and more out of them. The result is a tyrannical and unsafe environment of mistrust. It is therefore necessary to create some tools which both sides can use to determine the competency of the other. This is where employee drug & alcohol testing comes in. Both drug screening and alcohol testing are part of this scenario and everyone is to be tested, from senior executives down to the lowliest janitor or electrician. In this manner, many people can look at the situation, know that everyone is required to pass, and they will feel more protected by each party while at work.

The “all’s fair in love and war” phrase then is rendered partially mute by the use of drug testing in Australia. We have established a community with checks and balances, not unlike a democratic government, where everything is designed to work together to arrive at safe and sure decisions.

That is precisely what drug screening does. It helps people to understand for sure that their coworkers and employees are ready and willing to be professional while at work. It helps companies keep their established policies. It helps everyone.
