DP but whatever

I told them the meds were for a medical condition

wtf

Zero tolerance policy?

They left me a message Friday from whatever 3rd party does the test and 1) I couldn't understand the woman and had to look the number up myself, and 2) I tried to call back and they were closed, as were they over the weekend

IDK

But that's discrimination if they don't change it

It also depends on the job -- doesn't matter what the reason you're on it is if it's a job that involves operating machinery.

They said they are an equal opportunity employer

They might have to offer you a different position?

Idk what you applied for.

I won't be operating machinery, and even if I was possibly going to, they would have to provide reasonable accomodations

It was a warehouse packing job. No machinery to operate. There was a different one for that

Then in theory you could fight it yeah.

Also they didn't offer a different position

I told them it was going to come up positive for amphetamines, even disclosing my disability of adhd and taking adderall. I called them to find out why they rescinded the offer and they said the drug test, so that's exactly why. I got the number for the screener, so I'm gonna call too.

probably email my dr notes AGAIN

Hmm. Did anyone tell the hiring manager?

idk. I told the person overseeing the test though.

They probably could have reported it

I've never done a test with such a big company but usually the drug test folks themselves have absolutely nothing to do with it. They just submit the result.

but when I looked on google on what to do if a drug test was going to come up positive, they said to notify the medical examiner

You would've had to contact whoever was hiring you with the prescription info.

who was an amazon employee 'cuz their email was

Medical examiner means something very different here, idk. :|aaa

But I'd contact whoever's responsible for the offer/hiring and throw the documents at them.

Basically the doctor doing the test

er, reading the test

A doctor has to confirm

Same in vetmed

for like, Parvo

Gonna call later when I'm not so mad. That way I don't yell at them. lol

Gonna sleep it off

Set an alarm for a few hours

...fuck. and here I thought they would've improved after a dozen years.

full disclosure - Mom used to work at the local Amazon warehouse. but after she injured herself badly and needed accommodations, they refused to let her come back unless she somehow didn't need medical restrictions anymore

plus, they're super paranoid about drugs, and some hiring managers would be pressing that Doubt button even with full documents from the doctor, for fear that it's somehow forged

Yeah I've never heard "medical examiner" used in any way except re: corpses, is all lol... and testing staff have no sway over determinations in my experience, I've always had to go through HR. (I've been on a benzo script for nearly 20 years) but I hope you can sort it out.

I don't know shit about Amazon specifically but only talking to the testing folks it's doubtful the hiring manager ever got anything besides the positive result, and thus might have just hit the rescind/reject button automatically.

OK talked to the testing people and they couldn't accept doctors notes, they needed the pharmacy information so they could verify the prescription. IDK how that's any better, but oh well.

They're gonna verify it and then send it back to Amazon as a passing drug test

As for your mom, they have to provide reasonable accommodations according to their "Equal Opportunity Employment" statement. She had grounds to sue

powerofredrangers

But if it's been 10 years it's probably past the cutoff point.

But it would have qualified as a federal and state case. (can you tell I've done this before? Mine only qualified for state though 'cuz the place had less than 15 employees)

So I know a great employment lawyer who has done cases up to the 9th circuit of the Supreme Court

To be fair though, that case was in the bag.

The owner of the business put it in writing

to Uenployment

it was ten years ago, yeah
and Mom didn't want to go back to a company that wouldn't respect her limitations anyway

plus, y'know...money for lawyers.

They did mine pro bono (I think that's what it's called? Where they just take a cut out of your settlement?)

pro bono is literally just free, contingency basis is when they get paid out of your settlement

ok then it was the second one lol
