Peed, blood test. Results came back 4 months later, which didn't matter since it was a 3 month assignment

Was about to start on a tech client and didn’t occur to me they would test. Weed is legal in my state so I didn’t think twice at a party on Friday night. Come Monday I’m told I have to take a drug test in order to get badge access. This was my first client project so there was no way I could talk to the partner about a graceful exit. They wanted us to go to a nearby clinic to get the test done so I told them I left my insurance card at home and would have to bring it next week. This gave me a week to try every home solution google had to offer. I drank a ton of water and gatorade, took a bunch of creatine and worked out twice a day for a week straight. I actually lost about 10 pounds. The night before my test I bought a CVS piss test and passed. But I was still nervous as hell when I went in to take the real thing. Thank goodness passed that as well and we all lived happily ever after. And that kids is why you should never do drugs while on the bench.

Pissed in a cup, had a blood draw, a hair test and a breathalyzer and went to work for said client. They were a bit paranoid.

Wow, M1, gaming industry?

Client had facility on-site. Showed up first day. pissed in a cup, went to my desk. Didn’t get a badge until test came back.

Yes, pee test in a dumpy area of St Paul, Minnesota. It was odd.

Pee in a cup every quarter. No big deal

Hell yeah SC1! That’s what’s up

Utility clients normally pee test. Never done blood draw

You don’t want to get someone fired especially if the job feeds their family and kids if it was something minor and unintentional. Just saying

Have never heard of a client hair testing. Are you guys serious or trolling?

2- Is there actual strategy work or is it mostly transformation, with the word "strategy" being slapped to every single project? How long are the projects? Are most project sponsors actually at the Csuite level?
3- Is Monitor thriving or dying?
