Would a really big company test for steroids?

[thegoodfoods]

I'm about to start a new job and they require a drug test for me to work there. It's a pretty big company, a company everyone is familiar with. Do/would they test for steroids?

Most likely no.

I suspect they are all testing just enough to get better health benefits rates.

 

[strength_honor]

No. Not likely.

Getch

 

[thegoodfoods]

When you say "most likely no" and "not likely" then what WOULD be a likely situation where they would want to test for roids?

have you ever read or heard that somewhere?

 

[paradox]

Unless its then NSA or CIA then most likely "no".

 

[mr.nitro]

what would be the reason for testing for steroids? steroid users are stronger, work harder and tend to come into work on a regular basis. its not like rec. drugs that may effect your work performance.

 

[solidspine]

Really doubtful,

 

[bikercoz]

Highly, highly doubtful!! Its a very expensive test and would be a very bizarre requirement in corporate america.. Unless of course this big company plays in stadiums and arenas in front of sellout crowds.

Usually no...but they can do a lie detector, which is a different story.

Hiring practices in the USA are subjective. If you fail a "did you use drugs" question, you probably wont be hired. You can take it to court, but you'd be foolish to waste the $ on it.

Definitely 100% NOT. And they are not going to do a lie detector either, you have nothing to worry about.

What if I did do drugs back when I was under 18..would that affect my status?

High level positions.. COmpany wants to make sure you left other jobs for right reasons. Make sure you are not a thief. If a company is going to pay you 500K+ a year, expect a lie detector, they are putting a large investment in you.
