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 :(

    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
