At most companies there's no option. You have to do the random drug they're testing or risk termination.

No corporation can legally force you to test their drugs unless you willingly sign some legally binding agreement consenting to being tested on. There are a very few corporations who test experimental drugs prior to public release and offer to pay some kind of compensation, but I doubt IBM or Ford are going to force an employee to have drugs tested on them as a matter of contractual employment.

Such as an employment contract that includes it in the fine print 🤷

That's just because it's under an NDA. IBM is all about the ayahuasca and if you're gonna work at Ford, you can't be skipping Methadone Mondays or THC Thursdays.
Wow. Either people are being sarcastic or everyone is missing the joke of taking drugs vs. being tested for having taken drugs.
Poe’s law I guess
Yes.
Is...
...is this a double whoosh? Am I the triple?
I’d love to get paid to test experimental drugs. So far it’s only cost me money.
That's still relatively cheap. Sometimes it costs people way more than money.
At least in the US, we're at will employment. So while we may not be able to forced to pee in a cup, we can and will be terminated if we don't comply.
Most places that have heavy machinery or manufacturing have formal drug policies with random testing. I have a relative that's an electrician and he's been randomly selected and had a coworker fail a test. Instead of firing the guy outright,they gave him an option to go to some class instead. He quit and changed careers given that choice.
Ugh, I hate random drug tests, it is the exact same thing as the big box stuff and it always tastes like someone pissed in the cup.
I would like to delete your comment.
You know what the crackhead close to my job is dancing in the midle of the street. He is not thinking about bills, politics, wars, money... he is just vibbing and cracking. I'm starting to think he is the really wise one.
Drug induced psychosis is the only sane response to capitalist culture
And this, kids, is called "setting healthy boundaries."

I like it, I'm not gonna crack
I miss you, I'm not gonna crack
I love you, I'm not gonna crack
"But, Doug, that's one of the best ones. Don't knock it 'till you try it."
It took me a second to realize how I wish this is how drug tests worked!
I laughed too damn hard to this one 😂
Not a team player.
Then it won't be completely random.
"Sure, ask me any questions you want. I know a lot about drugs, I do 'em all the time"

He said testing, not tasting you dummy!
Some of those may go in the butt so tasting wouldn’t be that accurate.
Bad news, there are taste buds up in there.
Not kidding.
Are you shitting me?
