AnotherStander, thanks for the kind words. I think I'll be placing you on my shoulder.
Frustrating day today. My manager asked to speak with me today in her office and when I got there upper level management was there. At that point, I ask whats going on. Manager says my performance has slipped the last couple months (I would agree) and they believe I'm using drugs and alcohol (Big jump). I ask what drew them to this conclusion and they give three very weak reasons. My drug and alcohol history is well known because I have worked here for 10 years. I've been sober for 8. I fought hard to get where I'm at. I felt any other employee would have been pulled aside and maybe spoken to and asked if anything was going on. I got the 0 to 60 treatment.
Long story short. Pulled from work, drug test and breathalyzer, and they would not let me drive home. I will be paid for any time missed once they get the negative tests. I'll be drafting a letter to the CEO and the head of human resources. Luckily, I probably only have a month left working here before I move. Great way to send off someone who put a decade of work in.
Silver lining - I used to dread being asked to pee in a cup. My urine was probably radioactive 10 years ago. Now it's no worries. Plus, my wife was really great when she heard the news. She had my back and was very supportive. It really meant a lot to me. I'm going to enjoy my paid pseudo-vacation. Hopefully, it'll take a bit for the results to come back. Have a good night. Time to work on that meditation.
