[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 4372694, member: 49426"] Your situation is why I ask if they drug test on every job interview. If an outfit does not, they are not a candidate to hire me. Intoxication in the workplace - regardless of the intoxicant - is a safety issue. Remember, an employer gets the employees they earn. They may have earned this one. You have a right to a safe work environment. If the environment your in is not safe, correct the safety issue or find another work environment. Never mistake a job for a career, but find a new one before abandoning an old one. They are a lot less stressful to find when you are employed, an you are in a better position to negotiate the pay and benefits. Correcting a safety issue when its part of the cooperate culture is VERY difficult, even with support from the senior management. After 4 years, they are not getting rid of him, without a good reason. He has to cripple himself in a piece of equipment, cost them a major client, or something similar before he is fired. He will be almost impossible to get to move on voluntarily because most employers wont take him after the onboarding drug test. You can bet your employer knows this as well and that lets them keep him around without pay raises or promotions. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
