Will I be fired if I fail a drug test for a new client if I live in a state where marijuana is legal?

Don't fail! Talk to Partner team in advance. Might mean rolling off.

EY1 as I stated above, I would say I’m not comfortable taking a drug test. The partner will get the message without you having to be explicit, and if they were dense enough to ask why, you could say MJ is legal in your state and sometimes you are around people who use it, and you don’t want to embarrass yourself or the firm.

You won’t be fired but you may not be allowed on the client. Good advice above - talk to the partner and figure it out together.

Since Deloitte does not drug test they generally would not fire you, but it would be better to not fail the test. Explain you’re not comfortable taking it and ask to be rolled off.

At PwC we had a pharma client and the SM told the entire team, you need to be drug tested for this project, if you don’t want to, just let me know and we’ll roll you off, no harm no foul. She was sort of hippyish herself though so that’s probably not typical.

What are you supposed to tell the partner? I do drugs so I can’t take the test? Not good optics imo

Nah ur completely fine. Tell the partner if he’s the point of contact but if ur an associate or a staff tell the SM or manager who onboarded u. Either they can delay the test a few weeks so u get clean or you’ll be rolled off but it absolutely doesn’t hurt u in any way, unless ur above a staff-entry level. Can’t speak to that

Happens pretty frequently, unfortunately (hello, it’s 2018...)
Take BCG1’s advice and you’ll be fine

you are dead to me

What is the most useful technical or soft skills for any mechanical engineer to have where you work? I’m curious to know what really matters for everyone and what makes a big impact on the team and business.

Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.

At this point in the game it doesn't make a difference where you at everybody is getting laid off at one point or another the only thing I say is try to repair yourself for it if it happens to you
