Thread regarding Charles Schwab Corp. layoffs

Does Schwab test for weed?

Hey everyone, hope things work out for all of you.

I am currently a contractor in a legal state. Will be relocating to non-legal state. No problem passing if its for sure they do, but hearing different things. Is there a official position on this? Contract company says they don’t test since covid, I hear they do from others who converted. But also heard Schwab stopped testing for weed a few months ago due to legal checkerboard, but nothing official. Just wondering if anyone else knows. Thanks

When I was hired, I was tested for JIRA. Came back as an Epic. This Story is real.

I had an HR person tell me they do not do random dr-g testing and they hadn't heard of a single instance in 15+ years. New hires are the only ones ever tested; in the past they have waived dr-g testing if it is inconvenient for them, but before COVID it was always done from what I understand.

If you have a prescription/medical card you can say it's a medical need and they will waive it. They don't care as long as it's after hours and you're not under the influence while doing your job.

i had to take a UA screening at a quest diagnostics before being hired.
that being said i don't know if they're screening specifically for mari--ana.

to the person who said they test for lsd, you don't know what you're talking about.

At least I can see Remedy. No authority to most Jira epics, novels, whatever. Maybe I'm just too high.

I know one guy who smoked weed right before the test and they told him they don't test. This is a legal state though.

I was not dr-g tested as apart of my application or on boarding process.

Worked for another big name broker previously and was also not dr-g tested during the application or on boarding process as well.

Schwab is not a medical or testing facility, so no. Schwab does not test for dr-gs.

Tests do not screen for weed, which is approved for medicinal purposes, in some states. Does screen for the laced stuff. LSD. Co----e. That's the good stuff that lets you "see music". Let me put it another way. If you can see the music, you ain't gonna pass the test.

TC- 153000 + 15k bonus.

No dr-g test. At all

When I was visiting Denver in April I spent around $300 at the dispensary and was completely blitzed the whole time
