Freaking out! I accepted a job offer and completed the drug test 3 days ago. The first sample wasn’t enough so i had to drink a lot of water within an hour time to produce a bigger sample. Now I’m worried as it may come out as dilute and I’ve heard companies may rescind offers because of this. Any thoughts?? Will they let me retake it??

I thought you were going to say you took the test three days ago, then smoked a giant blunt in the parking lot afterwards and now they want you to retake it. That would have been a good story! Your story is just, meh

People really turn you down because you drink too much water?

Yeah they’ll let you retest. If you drink too much water then ur results come out diluted, happened to me once. HR just said there was something wrong with the test, which they’re not allowed to know due to HIPPA. So they told me to reschedule a new test, no problems whatsoever. Happens a lot

Question doesn’t make sense. Drinking a lot of water and going doesn’t impact what is in your urine they are testing for

It can mess with the concentration of the substances being tested for, causing a test to be under threshold. OP unless you drank a gallon of water you’re probably fine. People who are diluting to pass are drinking gallons.

The only reason you should be worried about is if you've been doing a lot of drugs.

Yes, some do. If you aren’t driving a company vehicle you should be fine. You should be fine to smoke unless you are job seeking. If you are job seeking just stop when you feel like an offer is close. If you only smoke on weekends, it is out of your system in a week or so.

Hahahaha.... I've taken well over 100 drug test in my life (military and when I worked construction).

Some companies have government contracts that require them to get drug tested

Lmao this happened to me too. Mine cleared. You’ll be fine.

Companies can drug test for whatever they want whether the drug is legal or not. There’s no rule saying that companies can’t not hire (or fire for that matter) someone for failing a drug test for a legal drug.

Lol I’d be more worried about what kind of boomers you’re going to work for that still require a drug test in 2020.

Most of them

I don’t think it effects in any ways on the outcome of the test results. These reagents are capable of slight trace of the drugs. Also I have been in the industry and there they would randomly pick employees on hour’s notice to submit for onsite sample. So if you are experimenting anything you need to get your affairs in order ASAP basis.

If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start?

I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.
