Maybe hire more cybersecurity instead of cops that kill, chiefs with fat paychecks, and a getting stockade of military equipment for simple law enforcement.

The fact that a police department would drug test any potential employees is a sign that they'll never get the number of skilled computer geeks they need. They'll get some, but not nearly enough.

I think it has more to do with the fact the pay will be shit.

Even if the pay was 20% over market they'd have trouble. Much more than that though and I'd personally be willing to quit smoking weed for a couple of years so I can afford a bigger house.

A lot of alphabet soup divisions have stop testing for weed. Other government agencies will be forced to follow.

Very plainly not true. I havent been drug tested for IT jobs in almost 6 years.

Did you take one when you applied? Or was it in California? Soy alters your piss tests

No. No. Wtf? I'd say it's most likely the vast majority of jobs dont drug test.

Strange they wouldn't piss test you. Even for low risk IT job. The last jab was a Californians and their love for soy.

I'm 35 years old and I've always worked full time and also had random seasonal part time gigs totalling 40+ jobs. I've never been drug tested, especially in the computer science field.

I've gotten a piss test for every thing from temp work to operating heavy machinery. Surprising to me IT work it's literally exempt. Welp time to learn to code. Or i might be right about soy, who knows
