Wow, That seems so high. I don't know anyone in my circle of friends who was drug tested. Although, we are all on the west coast.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoI took one for both of my corporate jobs, and that was over thirty years ago. Not new.
- conductr 5y agoThat’s a pretty old sample. The war on drugs was full throttle 30 years ago. Boomers were the millennials and the greatest generation had all the real power. Their straight laced policies were on everything. These days it’s 50/50 for me. Depending on how conservative the corp culture is. But I work in finance and could literally embezzle their money. I’m actually surprised when i don’t get drug tested.
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoThe funny thing is, I worked for a defense contractor for my first job, and looked like Cousin Itt. They never drug tested me.
- computershit 5y agoIt is extremely common for more enterprisey jobs, or anything dealing with finance or gov. I wouldn't expect many smaller orgs or startups on the west coast to test very much. Most regular smokers I know just use fake piss to get around it.
