I had to give a new hire a drug test this week. We use oral tests, so as he’s swabbing the inside of his mouth, he tells me, “If this is positive I want a retest. I was at a party with a lot of drugs this weekend so I could have a contact high.”

Umm…ok? Where to begin?

1. I’m your employer. Not your buddy, your pal, or your amigo. I don’t want to hear about how you *might* fail your drug test!
2. Contact high? The only way you’d fail is if the drugs were IN CONTACT with your body, as in being inhaled, ingested, or injected.
3. And seriously…if you KNOW you’re going to start a new job, if you’re LOOKING for a new job…lay off the drugs for a few days and detox.
