Monday morning of my final weeks at the company they selected me for a random drug-screen. I was a financial analyst at the company, and they have drug tested me FIVE times in the 2-years of employment. These requests are always sent on Monday mornings, on a regular “randomized” schedule.
I'm employed in a state that has legalized cannabis use. And, I frequently smoke. I've managed to pass every test before this with synthetic urine that I've bought online. Otherwise, had I tested positive using my own pee I would have been canned from this job already. Fortunately, I've been able to receive multiple job offers with better pay in my city.
I'm not the only stoner at this company. I learned the fake urine trick from someone on the inside. This company is diligently running with an old policy that their family ownership won't change. I should have known they'd want to cut my last week short if they can save a few pennies.
