A couple of months ago I was hired by Amazon as an Automation Engineer, but got fired after a week due to a positive drug test during the medical visit that is done during the first days.
Any thoughts?

Thoughts?

I’m glad it all worked out for you and personally think it’s so silly companies are still testing for THC.

Question, how did you explain the gap in work or why you left Amazon when picking up applying again?

Got you, that makes sense!

I thought tech companies were leading the charge when it came to abandoning mandatory drug tests. Who cares if an engineer or programmer smokes weed?

What was the drug? Did you know you would fail? If it’s been a couple months, why bring it up now?

Ohh, I thought you were trying to do something about it now. Marijuana is legal in WA where Amazon is based so I guess I could see someone making a case for it. Seems like you’re in a better spot now though, just chalk it up to not a cultural fit

THC, if it was another day they could have found more of them 😂 but apparently I'm inappropriate because I do drugs sometimes.
If I will ever create a company, positive drug tests will be mandatory.
Anyways, I found a more engaging job so.. I'm glad they fired me now

Similar thing happened to me but not at Amazon. First job out of college. Got a call from an old manager to take over another store. Thought I’d be fine because they called me to set up and interview the next day, then hired me on the spot. Turns out I was wrong. And shortly thereafter the company did away with the policy
