My father is very high up in a company, and he helped me get an interview for a job that I had just gotten out of school for. I went in for the interview last tuesday and everything went great. They said that they were going to hire me, and that all I needed to do was pass a drug test that afternoon (which wasn't a problem for me since I am against drug use). They wanted me to start the next day, which was going to be awsome since my boyfriend just lost his job and we're desperate for money) Anyways, they called me back later that day and told me that my drug test had come back positive for THC! I was so upset and told them that I have never done drugs(I don't even drink). They said that they believed me, but that they had to follow procedure, which I completely understand). They decided to send it away to the lab for better testing, but that it would take at least a week or two(time that I didn't have). Since my father is so high up, he managed get them to put a rush on it. It came back a few days later and the doctor called and told me that their was high levels of THC in my urine. I was shocked and told him that that was impossible, that I don't do drugs. He pretty much told me that I was a lier and said that I would have had to either smoked some drugs a few days before the test, or I would have had to been a chronic drug user for the past few months.
I was just devastated since I was innocent and really needed this job. They said that the tests were never wrong and that there was nothing they could do. My father finally got them to do another drug test(this is a few days after the first one). I went in, and guess what? It came back NEGATIVE! The people high up in the company are very mad. They think that someone must have switched the urine samples. They've decided to do an investigation into the company to see what happened. And they're wondering how many other innocent people they've turned away because of something like this.
I've been so stressed out the last week. I was crying every day wondering how this could have happened. I'm just so glad that I was able to take that second test, but what bothers me is that if my father wasn't who he is, I would have never gotten this job, because they never would have done a retest.
