Definitely helps that I don't need this job but I was talking with the recruiter and going over everything. They wanted to move forward and said I needed to take a drug test.
I said “I don't take drug tests. What I do in my personal life is my business and does not affect the skills and abilities needed for this position”.
There was a long pause on the other end of the phone but when he came back he said he would make a note of that and let's just finish up the rest of the necessary paperwork.
Idk why I said it. I don't even do anything. But I just think I'm a little tired of companies digging into my personal business.
He called me back two days later and the company offered me the job. Didn't even bring up the drug test. Idk what this means but it's interesting. Maybe everyone should push back on these things and companies will learn to stay out of pit personal lives.
