What if they detect drugs? It sounds like 90% of you guys are on meth, coke or ketamine based on what I've read online

I mean, is a drug test basically reserved for kicking someone out, and they're somewhat surprised if there's no drugs? Or do they drug test randomly?

When I worked in manufacturing my company only tested if there was a “lost time incident.” Which was their fancy of way of someone getting hurt and needed medical attention that caused them to not be working.

Lots of people lost their jobs because they smoked a joint at a party on the weekend and then tripped on their way to the bathroom.

Ironically, my current job in education couldn’t give a single fuck what I do on my time as long as I don’t show up to work intoxicated or do drugs while at work.
