The Air Force does. But I'm not sure about my other job. Working for the city. I think they said they do, but I haven't heard anything about it since... I hated the Air Force one because I always got called for it after I used the bathroom. So, it always took a while to go once I got there. Except for the one time I really had to go. I wasn't first in line, but everyone let me go first. The testers were late, and I had been holding it in for a while by the time they got there...

random drug testing is dumb, and not for the obvious reason of making sure there's no drugs at work...

It's dumb because it's just a way to shift liability if something goes wrong. Ooops, a client died? Mmmmm, I think Mark's THC was borderline on the limit - lets dump the entire lawsuit on him

as opposed to asigning the blame to... somebody else who didn't cause the death...

is there where your "logic" is headed...?

Nah, I mean assigning the blame to someone who had nothing involved with the suit just because they had a little drugs in their system. Like, they work in the cargo department and just coincidentally was working at the same time as the event

They tried to once, but I told them my drugs were fine, and they needn't do any testing on them.

The job I just accepted does. I actually have to go take a piss test again tomorrow since they said my first one was contaminated.

Also, in case anyone isn't aware of it, if you do a hair test they cant use your beard hair.

That use to happen to a guy I worked with. I guess it's because of how the Air Force does them...

Maybe. I was piss tested like 13 times in 12 months in the army and none of them were ever contaminated so I dont fuckin know.

Maybe you got lucky. I never had a contaminated test, either. I heard they apparently take more than one sample at a time to test. And if it comes back positive, they call back whoever was in the sample they took.

My job was drug test everybody around right after. Most of the time, it wasn't actually a person's fault. But they still had to... I mean, it's also usually not a death. Just if something big happens. Like when a jet fell on it's ass...

In theory but not in practice. I'm pretty sure it was something in the paperwork but I can't recall anybody having it done to them.

Yeah, most jobs have the policy but rarely do actual random testing. They typically only test those they suspect and want to get rid of or those involved in an incident.

The last place I worked never tested anyone until they got complaints about one of the guards coming to work high. So they "randomly" tested him and one other guard. The other one was someone who they knew would test clean so it wouldn't look like they were targeting the other guy.

About a month later they tested two more. One who was known to come to work with bloodshot eyes and another who was definitely going to come back clean.

For my accounting job, I was drug tested as part of the interview process before getting hired. I have not been drug tested on the job since then though.
