A ton of employers also have a tree branch up their ass about drug testing. Even for legal drugs and for positions that it doesn’t matter.
My last job was mostly staffed by middle class suburban women, and down here every other one of them is on something illegal, from weed to their child’s Ativan to heroin. Well, they randomly drug tested our office one day, saying anyone who was positive was fired. Out of the 8 people in my office, 6 of us were positive for something, including me, and I know one of them was a false negative considering that I’d recently purchased a brownie from them.
Anyways, they just conveniently forgot about their new drug policy after that. No one got fired for it. From the rumors I heard, the district manager was going to go through with firing everyone, but someone from corporate reminded him that we were already understaffed by 5 people, and that firing 6 out of 8 people would mean closing the office entirely.
