Today, my boss decided to have the whole staff drug tested and fire everyone who failed. Out of an original staff of 14 people, only my boss, two coworkers and I remain. I now have four times my normal workload and am seriously thinking maybe I should've said "Yes" to drugs. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got fired for failing a drug test for weed. My boss is the one who sells me weed. FML
Today, I asked my boss for a raise, explaining that another shop offered me a job at a higher rate, but I would stay if he would offer me the same. Instead, he fired me then called the other shop and said I was fired for failing a drug test. FML
Today, I'm a proud non drug user, but I trusted an oat cookie at my brother's birthday, which was loaded with pot. Tomorrow is our mandatory drug screening at work, my job is government based, and I worked my ass off to get it. Anyone who tests positive or misses the test is sacked immediately. FML
Today, I had to resign from my job because I tested positive for drugs. I've never taken drugs. FML
Today, after arriving, I was told that there will be mandatory drug tests for everybody at my work. Yesterday, I did joints at a friend's party, as it was her birthday. I'm fucked. FML
Today, I was dismissed because of my company's strict "no drugs" policy. Yesterday, I had a talk with my team leader and confessed that I have to take antidepressants; this arse then reported it to the management, and they fired me because they are not aware of what these pills contain, and it could affect my performance. FML
Today, I had to be an observer for a drug test at work. Me and two others got to watch 130 guys take a piss, and then leave work two hours later than everyone else. FML
Today, my coworker paid me back the $15 I let him borrow and we shook hands. Later, I was called into my boss's office, where he threatened to fire me for doing a drug deal in front of customers. The police are getting involved. FML
Today, my boss called me out for a drug test. His reason was because my eyes are puffy and bloodshot, making me look high. I've been suffering from allergies all week, but still had to pee in a cup in front of a complete stranger. FML
Today, I was told I would not be getting the job I was offered because I failed my drug test. They never gave me a drug test. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I think now you should ask for a raise in your salary since you have more work to do

Just say "No" to your boss.

This is why weed should be legal

Better get a pay raise for this! He will realize how valuable and responsible you are after the initial shock wears off. Be proud of yourself.

You completely deserve this. By being a sanctimonious busybody and believing that anybody that failed your precious drug test should be fired, you put 10 people out of work. You reap what you sow.

How is this OP's fault? If anyone was being a "sanctimonious busybody," it was the boss.

Woah, you must be so high you didn't even notice how the FML says it was OP's boss who ordered the drug test and who fired all those people.

The boss was right to fire people. Pot isn't that bad, it's still illegal having it show up on a tox screen for any employer is grounds for termination in most places

Pretty sure if your boss decided to test it was an issue. If it wasn't, he's insane. firing ten people is corporate suicide.. couldn't he have at least acted like there were no implications until he hired some new people?

Bosses make bad decisions all the time, here in the USA the bad decisions of corporate America makes a good chunk of our news headlines every day. Frankly if the employees performance was bad enough to initiate drug testing, then the worst cases could have been fired based on accumulated incidents of absences, tardiness, missed deadlines etc. I only have OPs post to base my comment upon but firing such a large group of staff seems more irresponsible than gradually replacing them with well vetted new hires.

Look for another job. Even if you don't do drugs, this sounds like a shitty place to work.

Do you work at Google?

Was this your boss's way of laying people off? Maybe you'll be stuck with all of that extra work forever.

Pay raise?
