random drug test

I Have a Question Concerning Drug Testing.?

Question by autustle: I have a question concerning drug testing.?
I recently was given a drug test by my employer. I tested positive for Cocaine. I was given the drug test on the day I returned from a 9 day long vacation. I traveled all over northern California and was offered some Cocaine. I work at a Walmart Distribution Center in Alabama. The company has a random drug testing policy. I do not understand how a company could test for drugs after a person is returning from vacation. I was on my own free time. I was fired from my job for testing positive. I do not see why I should be fired for drug use on vacation. I rarely do drugs. At the most I might smoke pot or the occasional line of coke 3 or 4 times a year.

Yeah, it sucks but you can’t help it. Employers don’t really have a choice but to fire you if you test positive. Luckily, I think they can’t say this when referring you to another job so just find a different one and you won’t have to worry about what the wal-mart job will say. Good luck!
