I will very rarely say it, but: LAWYER TIME It’s blatantly obvious that they fired you to avoid potential time off/medical bills/whatever. You do NOT want to have a dismissal for drug use on your professional record. ---

[/quote] thats the main concern. i wouldnt bring this up if i was a cocaine user obviously.my main concern is i worked 9 months for this company and there just trying to avoid unemployment. there ruining my life i would happily quit if they asked. winters coming up i really dont wanna work in frigid temp. my answer to jespo1 obviously you dont know me and dont my thoughts on life you can make ur jokes all you want but i do take offense to being called a drug user i am not one. i smoked pot in highschool trying to fit in and thats really it. to jeg i may be a asshole but i gaurantee my time of employment compared to yours is far greater. i have been unemployed 2 days since i started working when i was 16. this also the first job i have been fired from. iam sorry i dont like you and i find you to be a whiny bitch with absolutly no use in this world. i have very extensive customer service background and you can go back to every job i installed direct tv and 90 percent of the customer would say i have met or exceeded there goals with my installations. the other 10 % are waterheads like yourself and should be put down like a rabbid dig ---

I am quoting the halsted employe new hire guide. section 6.1: refual to submit. bla bla bla basicly you are admiting guilt and are fired on the spot. 6.2. Positive test results: a. _ **temporary suspention with pay** _:Any employee who is required to submit to a reasonable suspicion-based drug or alchol test (including post-accident test) will be temporarily suspended with pay. b _ **Employees who test positive:** _ Any employee who receives a verified positive drug tet or a confirmed alchol test of 0.04 BAC or greater, shall be terminated. I have the whole new hire binder for you joe. I may make a call to HR to get the “more detailed procedure” crap they talk about. ---
