[QUOTE="browner89, post: 1486179, member: 56104"] Unless you live in one of two states, Marijuana is illegal to smoke without a prescription. This isn't a moral argument either, just how it is. You broke the law, you told UPS you didn't, and then agreed to take a drug test which will prove you lied. Even if they tricked you into taking it for another substance. UPS outsmarted you and can now give your job to someone who will be making half of what you make if you've been there 8 years. UPS isn't as profitable as they are by being kind to their employees, if you give them a reason to pay someone a lot less to do the same work they'll take it. They won the game, simple as that. Unfortunately for you, it sounds like you're screwed. As it was stated, the feeder driving failing and getting rehab will, or should, remove him from the streets until he completes his rehab and is deemed to not be a risk, you don't get that benefit that he did because you were dishonest in their eyes. He owned up to his "issue" even if he found it a big joke. This is why drugs are not worth it, even if they seem harmless to you, it probably just cost you your 8 year career, that's pretty harmful for something you can live without. Again, I'm not being the moral police, but I sense stupid. I also agree with BB58, your story keeps having more added. Starts out as "going to be fired for failing a drug test" "fired for failing drug test" "fired for stealing time actually, drug test will be added later" etc. It's hard to trust it, no offense, you didn't know your helper, we don't know you.
