Are you drug tested at work?

Like I stated earlier, if they tested everyone they would have lost more than 50% of their top performers. Sales people like to party occasionally and they are a wilder bunch. For the record the last 3 years I worked there I took runner up twice and then left after accomplishing manager of the year for the entire company. I knew what I was doing and could have never performed at that level if I had pissed tested my top guys.

IMO, if you are committed to your job, you will put it ahead of doing drugs. If you know that you have the choice of either working for me, or smoking dope, and you choose smoking dope, that tells me everything I need to know about your committment level to the job.

It's not like an ambush. You know that the policy is no drugs. After that, the employee has control over whether it keeps him from working for me.
