I haven't gotten drug tested since the 90s. I failed. It was for a job with Best Buy. Years later I got a job at Circuit City and they only drug tested one guy who got hired in and it was a week or two after they hired him because he started fucking up on the job. It was intentional to get rid of him. Most everyone at work smoked.

I worked in-house for PepsiCo years ago and they did drug tests. I failed because my urine was TOO clean. They made me not drink water for like 6 hours and do it again. I passed, but how do you FAIL because you pass too hard? lol

That's weird; I've never of a piss test result being "too clean". Maybe they thought you mixed up and used a substitute?

It's to prevent people from watering it down as @roker mentioned. People try everything to cheat piss tests. As long as you have a clean friend it isn't that hard, but it will be uncomfortable because the piss needs to be at temperature.

How long does unemployment last now? I know people took nice long sabbaticals during Obama administration and Covid. What the status today?
