I am always late paying everything. Just enough to be annoying, not to get a late charge. I swear this is the year I get organized, or delegate the bill paying job to my husband.
Trying to keep my job

Most of us make personal sacrifices for the sake of our careers. You have to think long term and also consider the consequences. Pot is illegal in most states period. I don't even eat poppyseeds for fear of a positive drug screen and poppyseeds are legal. I hope you get your job back but more importantly, you have learned a hard lesson.

No. Just saw the poppyseed myth confirmed on Mythbusters. Why take chances?

Really?? I didn't know that. I thought you'd have to consume practically pounds of them to indicate a false positive.

I used to deliver to a place that did those tests, and asked them. They said that they have a questionnaire, and that is one of the questions, and use different test if they answered yes.

Surprisingly the amount only affected the duration of the effect. A small amount or large amount showed positive.

Instead of the op trying to keep their job (unlikely) Might do better to work on becoming proficient asking "would you like fries with that?"

Don't hear anyone on here complaining about the evils of Viagra or many of the other Big Pharma drugs, most of which will kill you much faster than alcohol or weed...
Just saying.
Complained, #87, #102. Been there done that, LOL

I just can not understand how people like the OP can work at a job that has your rights written down in black and white and they still have no idea what their contractual rights are.
Most jobs hand you a company handbook that has the company rules.
Our job has a contract mutually agreed to by both parties that explain your rights.
Heck, about 1/4 of the master only talks about drugs and alcohol and people still have no idea what the contact says until they read it after the fact.
I carry one with me at all times while on the job, and have one in the can at home.
If you do not take the time to read it over and over in order to keep an 80k plus job a year with benefits, then you are not cut out for much.
The real sad part is that 90% of our workforce who are fired will never make 50% of our package at UPS, not to mention a pension.

Our contract just most contracts are written for some parts are open to interpretation that benefits us union employees.
The day UPS starts doesn't make a profit you might need to start worrying about your pension I don't see that day happening in my life time.
