Not sure if this is the right area but it doesn't really apply to smoking itself so here goes.. I just got a job 2 months ago with a credit card company.. I work as a programmer (sort of.. QA engineer). Upon applying for the job, I noticed on the bottom of the application that there were pre-employment drug tests. I am not sure anymore if it was required or subject to, but I definitely know the pre-employment drug testing phrase was there. I applied, and got the job. Good deal, I haven't smoked in 4 months (2 at that point). I was anticipating getting a job and took the steps to make sure I was clean just in case. 2 months roll by, and there has not been any mention of any drug test, nor if I am subjected to one. I asked for my offer letter that I signed (along with other paperwork.. NDA, etc.) and there is no mention of drug testing. I am under a 3-month trial/new employee period, so I am not sure if I should be expecting a test in a month. What should I expect? I obviously can't just walk up and ask, but still. I should be able to do whatever I want in my own house on my own time, but if I got more into it, I'd just be preaching to the choir . Any advice? I really want to start toking up again, and I don't want to lose this job, because it pays well and I can't afford my new place without it!
I'd figure by two months in you'd have found out from other employees or new friends at the company if there's a test during or after the probationary period. But if you're still unsure, I'd wait another month. No sense in losing your job.
From what I can tell, everyone that I work with/near is as straight as can be (except alcohol). Almost everyone seems to be late 20s-mid 30s and clean from what I can tell. No sense in losing my job is totally right.
