I just gave a sample for a drug screen test for temporary employment. It’s probably going to be positive because I take a medication that can cause a false positive for cannabis. I will have to prove that I have this prescription or I will lose the job. This is an office job, not an airline pilot or anything that critical. Why does everybody have to have these screens? There was a time when employers didn’t do this.
Yes, you will be punished for taking your medication.
You will also be punished if you don’t take your medication.
Take your pick, you will be punished.
I read a story a few years ago on U.S. companies that drug test American employees, but not their foreign counterparts. They interviewed an HR rep from EDS and asked why Americans were tested but Canadians were not. Her answer? Canadians won’t put up with it. But hey, Land of the Free, and all that.
