So today, literally 4 hours ago this all went down.
I (23F) had a drug test for a dream job, one that would get me out of my current job, set me up with a whole new career, the whole shabang, I’ve done one test before back in high school but this was my first “professional” one.
My partner and I went in to the office building where the lab is, I went in and was unable to…provide a specimen…so they said that I had three hours, I could drink maximum 12 oz of water, and to not leave the building, I said got it and went out to see my partner, the lobby was really cramped since people started coming in and I thought it’d be best to go to the hall and pace a bit to get stuff moving, I’ve heard movement helps you pee.
I go back inside and the woman takes me back and tells me it was a refusal to submit, I ask what do you mean and she says that I left the building, I told her I hadn’t, I was in the hallway, and she said nope you left the building. I didn’t argue and that’s what she sent off.
I went back to my car and sobbed for like2 hours because I thought everything was over and I called my mom and she said to pay for my own test to be done so there is written proof of a negative drug test on the same day as the refused one.
$170 later I took the other one and sent an email to my recruiter who doesn’t seem to answer phones (???) and reached out to the third party in charge of background checks. They said they’d write it in the report because they were sent my results from the lab but that the employer has to be okay with it being a test submitted by my hand.
My argument is that she should’ve said lobby and not building, the word office works too, there is even camera footage of me just walking in the short hallway outside of the door.
So now it’s in gods hands and I’m freaking out but there’s really not much more to do ¯_(ツ)_/¯
TLDR: Left the room of a drug test and now I could lose a dream job.
Also please don’t roast me too harshly, it really was a mistake I just get pee shy under pressure
