Dude, Iāve gotten rejected from jobs because of it. Yes itās illegal, no itās often not worth suing if the government decides not to take the case
Donāt tell them next time.
Iām not sure why this would ever come up in a job interview, itās not your employerās business.
It wouldnāt come up in an interview, unless itās a tiny business.
Being ADHD myself, it wouldnāt surprise me if the person above made it a topic of conversation themselves. Inability to shut ones mouth is something I am more than familiar with.
It could also be a matter of them disclosing it to get accommodations.
āBy the way, I have ADHD, so might need a bit of help here and thereā seems entirely reasonable for someone to say in an interview, but might also get them rejected.
Oh itās totally reasonable to bring it up but I still wouldnāt do it though.
Rarely have I had a company be upfront about any issues they have so I am more than willing to reciprocate.
Pre-employment drug screens test for amphetamines so it will come up on that screening if the company does them.
I have never had a problem with that. If itās a prescription and it shows on a test, itās not any business of the prospective employer. When I am at the testing facility, I always disclose to them that I am taking amphetamines. I dunno if they have a box they need to check off for that, but I really donāt care. Since my medications are legal, any disclosure of that testing data would fall directly into the category of HIPAA and not something your average company can handle.
At least in the US, scheduled medication is tracked fairly hard. I suspect my name would come up if the testing facility checks for that kind of thing. (Just speculation: I have no idea how the system works on the backend.)
More speculation: There may be specific markers in legal, scheduled medications. Is that a thing? If so, it might be a clue into legal or illegal use for the test.
Thatās a good point. My understanding of how results are provided to employers was incorrect.
You will come up positive on a pre employment drug test though correct?
Depends on the drug. Not all of them do.
