How Far Should a Job Screening Go? 675
SlashSquatch asks: "My sister is getting screened for a programming position with a financial firm. I was alarmed to hear she'll be getting fingerprinted at the Sheriff's Office as part of the screening process. Instantly I conjure up scenes of frame-ups and corporate scandals. I want to know, should this raise a flag? Would you submit to fingerprinting, blood tests and who knows what else (financial, genetic code, and so forth) for a programming position?"

Companies should hire more people who can't handle basic finance, are mentally unstable, and known to break laws. I'd definately like to work at a place like that!

Wow. She was lucky to get out of there at the start. I bet she'd have hated to find out she was working for a company staffed entirely by judgemental jerks after she'd been there long enough to find out.

I got finger printed working for my local church.
That's so they can compare your prints against those they pull off the buttocks of altar boys, Father.
