The only jobs I didn’t get a piss test were all retail/food service. Every professional job I’ve had (tech) has made me drop a UA. I may have had to study to pass the pre-employment test, but thankfully no place I’ve been does randoms.
As my former manager put it, boss man isn’t going to make us drop a UA cuz he knows he’s lose his whole IT department.
I worked in a little fabrication shop back in 2013 or so. The general manager got a hair up his ass and decided he was going to drug test everyone.
We lost everyone on all three shifts except for me, and my supervisor. My supervisor had been picked up a month prior for possession, and was getting regular drug tests from someone else. Im just boring.
The shop closed down a few months later. They couldn’t get anyone to work there, because people who do that kind of work talk to each other.
I was a programmer for 25 years and never had a drug test in that time. No employer ever even contemplated doing it. In general, programming high or drunk isn’t going to hurt anybody, but I did once have a colleague accidentally shoot a 125 mph knuckleball a foot over a kid’s head. He wasn’t coding high as far as I know, but he was coding stupid, which is a lot worse.
