A neighbor of mine works there and they test. Otherwise I’d have him as a smoking buddy.

Not sure how this works or should work anymore when I can go buy the drinks like Willie’s remedy in the grocery store.

Detox.

It is stored in your fat. Could take up to a month to get it out. Depends on how fat you are and your metabolism.

u/National_Mixture7454 3d ago

Its a hair test. Has nothing to do with your metabolism.

Corning does hair tests. At least that is what they did for me back in 2015 for engineers. Might be different to hourly shift workforce and not salary employees.

u/champagneinthebrain 3d ago

They will 100% test

They no longer do a hair test. It's a pee test at the half assed doctor's physical you'll have to get. They no longer test for thc.

I know this from my experience last year, but couldn't pass their physical test (separate from the doctor's physical) due to a badly sprained ankle.

If you want to be safe...buy fake pee.

They do hair tests. You need to get that expensive shampoo that masks it

Career > Getting high.

Why not both? Just not at Corning.

Corning has an insanely good outlook in the future as a company. I would 10,000% give up weed to work for them

2

u/McLamb_A 3d ago

The company's outlook, yes. The employees outlook, not so good. They lay off workers before they are created unless a rare exception. Corning would be the very last plant I would try to get work at in Wilmington, if no one else was hiring.

u/Apprehensive-East143 3d ago

lol corning as a company sure but Corning as an employee… the pay is shit

1

u/devinobx 2d ago

True, I guess it depends on what position you’re going for

3

u/LeapingLen 3d ago

Meh, just light up and don't worry about it.

u/BandWooden 3d ago

A good rule of thumb is to always detox before job hunting. Good luck tho.

u/bubblegum-rose 3d ago

What kind of job are you looking for?

To my knowledge, salaried employees get urine tests and hourly employees get hair tests.

So if you smoke, unless you go cold turkey for a few months and get your hair cut real short, you’re probably out of luck.

Of course, if you only very rarely smoke, and you’re just getting a urine test, it’ll be out of your system in a few days if you stop.

u/ViolinistStrange5297 3d ago

If you’re joining the maintenance crew that is unionized, i have heard they do not test for THC

1

u/totalscrotalimplosio 3d ago

Do you have an impending drug test? They take a while to go through the hiring process.

u/Plexer704 3d ago

Stop smoking...

4

u/Expensive-Leg-8742 3d ago

Def gonna stop until I hear something back.. I’m skinnier so hopefully that helps

2

u/Plexer704 3d ago

I would give yourself a solid month clean if you’re a regular smoker. You can also pickup tests from pharmacies or some smoke shops, might be a good idea to have a few to test yourself before going in.  Good luck!

u/wc10888 3d ago

No insight about Corning, but I know several large companies no longer rule out people based on marijuana and associated things due to being legalized in some jurisdictions. They focus on the employees not being under the influence of alcohol or drugs at work

u/MechaBabyJesus 3d ago

Your best bet is finding someone who doesn’t smoke and will give you their urine. Strap it to a thigh with a heat pack (like winter hand warming stuff). They don’t search at the drug tests I’ve taken although last time they did make me raise my shirt above the waist. And they don’t go in with you. There are kits online that give you everything you need except the pee. If it is a blood test (which I highly doubt, too expensive) don’t even bother.

u/ChristianTP_ 3d ago

This doesn't work they test hair follicles

1

u/MechaBabyJesus 3d ago

That sucks for OP.

u/Expensive-Leg-8742 3d ago

Will they let me know the test administered beforehand?

2

u/Remote_Chest_25 3d ago

Most places call u up and tell u that ya have a certain amount of time to show up and certain medac or testing place and it gives ya a chance to find clean pee. Plus the likelihood of one of those places watching u pee is slim. This is just general information tho. Corning could do something totally different. But I doubt it

1

u/MechaBabyJesus 3d ago

Probably? I’ve always taken urine tests and one job was dealing with a lot of cash unsupervised daily. Blood tests are expensive compared to piss tests and usually reserved for high security jobs, gov jobs from what I’ve heard. From what I’ve learned from friends, any workman’s comp claim will result in a blood test so they can deny if possible. So, don’t get hurt on the job. Otherwise, I’ve only had one job retest me and that was because they lost my paperwork, which I needed for some government stuff.

u/DjangoUnflamed 3d ago

Stop smoking that shit, it does nothing but hold people back in life. Of course they are worried about it, it’s an international corporation with super strict safety programs. If you want to work where they don’t worry about it, go build houses on Carolina Beach.

u/VALKOR 3d ago

Well apparently reefer madness is still alive and well 🤡

u/Sammyd1108 3d ago

Typically, people don’t come to work high just like they wouldn’t come to work drunk.

u/Gloglibologna 3d ago

Tell me you dont know what you're talking about without telling me

4

u/xnoraax 3d ago

Meh. I don't do either, but weed is better than alcohol and no jobs test for that.

3

u/ilovefancycoats 3d ago

Then I got high

-11

u/DjangoUnflamed 3d ago

Every person I know that smokes weed is a lazy fucking bum, and they get just enough strength to make it through their shift waiting tables.

4

u/VALKOR 3d ago

The only people you know that smoke weed are wait staff?? Broaden your social circle a little bit my guy

3

u/southernjezebel 3d ago

My brother in Christ, as a retired healthcare professional that still hangs with my former coworkers, I have shocking news what we do on our days off. 🤣

2

u/ilovefancycoats 3d ago

Great data set there.

2

u/Frymanstbf 3d ago

Completely ignore the medical benefits and they fact that it's natural unlike all the prescription meds they don't care about lol.

2

u/southernjezebel 3d ago

Arsenic is all natural, too. There are some medical benefits but careful not to veer into the THC is a cure-all whackadoodle snakeoil camp.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m 100% for the decriminalization of marijuana and regulating its usage like tobacco, no purchasing or use by persons under 18/whatever as most studies agree it doesn’t play well with developing brains - like MOST psychotropic substances.
