Financial services. I agree better to just say you smoked and would be concerned about passing. They can just make up an excuse as to why you aren't going to be staffed. Worse to take it and fail.

I've heard of a few second hand stories along the lines of it's no big deal. Gotta be better to just tell the Mgr or whoever you don't think you should take it (and prob being rolled off) instead of letting them find out through the official process.

What kind of work where the client requires a drug test? Never encountered such a thing

A friend of mine who was a manager had an analyst fail a client drug test, reported it to HR. HR told him that Accenture didn't have a drug policy and basicly made the manager feel like he was being hounded because he reported it...That was a couple of years ago, so don't know if policy has changed.

I know a guy who failed one for a large client in FS. Partner was pissed and fired him.

Plenty of people travel to Colorado, Washington, etc. you may not be able to work for that client but there are plenty that don't require drug tests.

What about tech industry? Especially in places like west coast, CO, etc. I've heard the stories about FS and Fed...

Life sciences too

Any client can request a drug test. More likely to get in trouble if it is a manufacturing client. Resources clients can be sticklers and so can Health clients.

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??

Not a brand rejecting an influencer. We don’t want to be rude & would like to keep the door open for future collabs if they meet our standards in the future.
