i recently applied to go from a contractor to an internal employee and got the official job offer last week. my drug test is tomorrow and the form says its an oral fluids test, which i will pass, but i have this gnawing anxiety that ill go in and they spring a urine test on me (i would not pass this). i have powdered urine from testclear, and ive used it before and passed a urine test two years ago, but this test will be given on the jobsite and will be harder to pull off.

wish me luck that its a saliva test, i really dont want to lose this job :(

Good luck comrade !

It's fucking insane that employers in the US have the right to make you do drug tests

It never occurred to me that it wasn’t like this everywhere.

I’m at the second highest government security clearance level you can get in my country. Have never done a drug test in my life.

It's also just bullshit within the United States they don't drug test for jobs that actually would matter.

I have an engineering degree, the only time I've ever been piss tested was when I was in between engineering jobs so I took a job as a "facilities manager" (glorified janitor)....... at a pot farm

Can you name a country where a dangerous job like operating heavy machinery doesn't require a drug test?

Most of US is at will employment. You're free to fuck right off.
