so a spin-off of the other thread. How many jobs have you been drug tested for?
I've never been drug tested for any job I've held.
I've been fingerprinted for my NASA badge

I've never been drug tested for a job. However I haven't had a job in several years.

0. Though every job I've had has reserved the right to.
It's an interesting problem/quandary in WA now that it's legal.

None. Although my current employer now drug tests new employees, that wasn't the policy when I started here.

Never for a job but for recertification (FAA/DOT).

Drug tested for 2 of them. Fingerprinted for two of them. With one both fingerprints and drug tests. A couple others had reserved the right to. Oh wait, forgot the temp agency when I was in college also did, so 3. Only had 1 job out of college though - the one that did both.

I had to take a drug test for my current job and the one before that.
That covers the last 20 years. I had jobs before then, but I don't think drug testing was as common back then as it is now.

I've been tested for every job but my current one and I was surprised they didn't test here as it's the most professional of any of my jobs. If they would have done random testing at one of my previous jobs they would have lost half of the work force or more. Guessing the fact that it was a union job prevented that from happening.

2. Both were related to working for Railroads but it wasn't like I was driving the train! I've been finger printed when I got both my CA & VA real estate licenses. I've also been finger printed as a volunteer for Maricopa County (AZ) Parks and Recreation. They were looking for folks who have been convicted for child molestation.

One job drug tested and I knew it was going to happen (was going from part-time to full-time at a university) so I stopped smoking for a month. No job before or since then has tested. I work in a professional environment.

I was drug tested when I worked retail, specifically home improvement and office supply, but not for any of my government jobs.
I have had to swear under penalty of perjury that I do not partake in illegal drugs however. It was part of the extensive security clearance investigation we're subject to.
They can request a drug test at any time.

I'm not sure how the topics of fingerprinting got lumped into drug testing, but yes, I've been fingerprinted on all ten fingers and that data is stored in my CAC card aka my "badge."

I was drug-tested for my current teaching job and had to pay the $69 for it 15 years ago. They can still drug-test me at any point today.
The ABI (like FBI) did the finger printing.

Every job until I retired. The last one pulled a piece of hair for a sample, too. Hurt like a mother.. . . .

When I got my last job, they didn't drug test but reserved the right to do so. They do drug test all new employees now though.

I can remember being fingerprinted only for one job, but drug tested for all nursing jobs, except one.

I have not, but I've been with this company for 20 years. It wasn't the policy back then. Now all new hires are drug tested and background checked. It's pretty standard for most of the companies around here in the past 10 years or so.

Hand me a cup and my system refuses to co-operate. To answer the question: only in 2003 when I joined a GE sub. I guess I passed. The place I joined in 2012 did not require it.

I had a meltdown over that with my current job. I have a fairly large or something bladder to begin with, add in pressure and it doesn't work. Luckily my job sent me orders for two different companies to choose whichever was closest. I didn't realize there were time limits on it!!! Failed the first one. I was bawling my freaking eyes out. I think I continued to drink another gallon before the next one an hour or so later.

I had a drug test for my current job. 15 years ago I had to get fingerprinted, drug tested, AND a 2 hour polygraph. NOTHING compares to the polygraph. Those are some CREEPY questions!

I was tested when I started at my current employer (14yrs ago). They stopped testing for new hires just a few years later but they have reserved the right to do random testing. Never had to pee in a cup or anything else since I joined though, which makes me think that the random testing isn't quite so random.
