Just a heads up, a bunch of people in my department who are tenured and have been here a while are required to dr-g test again. Notification emails come in and you are required to test within 3 business days. Seems as another way to find cause to terminate people

@en No one cares about your weird puritanical views. What people do in their free time shouldn’t be policed, particularly if what they partake in is legal and they’re not impaired on corporate time. Good luck with forcing this on “home office” - there won’t be anyone left in AM if they take an insane stance for no reason.
Just because something is legal doesn’t mean that it is right… weed impairs judgement and shows poor judgement by its use.
Fidelity (and other companies) have the right to not employee people that are compromised… there is also a clamp down on alcohol during on and offsite events.
Get ready to p-e in the cup, it is going to expand to most roles, it is in response to an investor center incident and home office will be impacted.
FYI if u are in MA and concerned this would ever apply to you and weed, just get your doc to write a scrip. There is legal precedent here and easy to circumvent.
Like the other said, this has been regular for some groups. Is this typical for this group? I have yet to hear about this being sprung on anyone out of the ordinary.
@ay it’s legal in Mass and they had to walk back the mandate to test for those in mass
I'm pretty sure someone on a team I collaborated with regularly was terminated in Q2/Q3 for failing one. Staying very vague here to avoid identifying myself as this can't be a regular occurrence.
especially if they live in mass.
Not if they live in Massachusetts
@OP some departments who are considered high risk are subject to more dr-g testing. Does your role fall under that?
@OP Location?
Nice, cleaning up the junkies.
