I job at a medical facility that manufactures components used in pacemakers.
It is truly precise job plus it depends upon total attention to detail.
They can’t run the risk of having any employees finally working there that is not at their best each time they are on the floor. For this reason all of us are randomly drug worked on throughout the year or worked on if they suspect that there is a problem. When I was called down for our testing I wasn’t upset at all. I don’t even drink alcohol so I never would have imagined that there would be a problem. A week later I was called into our bosses office plus informed that was being let go due to a positive result on our testing. I was confused plus asked to see the results. My test indicated that there were small amounts of THC in our system. I immediately figured that out because I use CBD oil to manage our RA pain. Even though they say that the amount of this chemical in our oil is said to have a “trace” plus virtually undetectable on drug testing it showed up. I tried to explain that I had a prescription for the use of CBD oil but the boss said that they had a zero tolerance policy plus he had no option but to let myself and others go! Now I am out looking for a new job plus I will definately be upfront about our use of CBD during our interview. I absolutely liked our last job plus felt I was doing something helpful. I am applying to other companies that are in the same style of corporation plus I hope that our option of pain management doesn’t prevent myself and others from getting another job.
