Archived No More Drug Testing

[ranchitup]

I wish they still did.

I am not an constant user of marijuana I just don't want to have to wait a month or so to apply so it can leave my system. I'm not the "lazy pot head" character.

 

[Badjedidude]

Drug tests are only for leadership or AP.

Or after a workplace accident, etc, for regular team members.

 

[commiecorvus]

They also test people who post here to ask if Target does testing.

If you're applying for starbucks you're almost expected to smoke the devils lettuce. I should add I have no qualms against weed, I'd be fucked if they drug tested me. But since I'm a productive worker who actually gets shit done correctly, they have no reasons to test me, or so I hope.

Wrong.

My store doesn't anymore. They stopped a few years ago. I thought it was because they were wasting so much money on people that were hired but failed the drug test. Turns out it's because they lost funding because of the scam a few years ago (learned that on here.) But yeah, in 2010 I was tested.

Also, just for people whose State legalized recreational marijuana, employers still don't have to hire you if you test positive.

First time hearing, care to elaborate?

 

[HRZone]

It does not unless it's for leadership positions.

AP and reasonable suspicion we had a cart attendant show up wreaking of weed and my etl hr contemplated making him take a drug test.

 

[HRZone]

First time hearing, care to elaborate?

Data breach I believe

 

[Kompa]

A simple fix is to not do drugs

 

[Kartman]

Orrrrrr, make your money as a drug dealer!

So for me being in California, you think they will absolutely test me?

 

[Kartman]

Lordy...

 

[Yetive]

Right?

 

[Goingstrong]

No they will not test you.

 

[SFSFun]

Does target truly not perform pre-employee drug test anymore?

No they do not. Only if you are hired for an AP position or if you are injured on the job. Regardless of location or any other factor.

Don't forget the reasonable suspicion

 

[commiecorvus]

I so want to lock this since the question has been answered and we can move on but then in a week or two someone else is going to ask the same damn question.
The second temptation is to make it a sticky but fuck that.
So I am going put a search term in here so I can look it up easily to merge every thread that comes along from now on.

[GlassCoughs]

No. I was just stating in a general idea that an employer doesn't have to hire you if you're in a legalized state. You'll be fine.

 

[Kartman]

I would stick the thread.

 

[HardlinesGuy]

I second Cartman on this.

Or what if we sticky a thread that just had answers to some of the most basic questions? Drug testing, orientation procdure and expectation, basic outlines of discipline, etc. all in one thread, stickied in General Target or wherever else is appropriate.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

I disagreed. Drug testing is not done on new tm. The op has not applied for the job yet.

 

[ChrisTheGreat]

The application says that they will give you a drug test and if you pass you get hired i thought they dident test?

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Depends on the job.

 

[SrTLall]

Why do so many people come on here and ask the same exact question? 😵
