So, you got fired from your job for failing a drug test

[peanut]

That you never took.
Employee Spent a little time off before the company realized they fired the wrong John Doe, then brought employee back to work and said, sorry, wrong John Doe, but it was spelled the same. Our mistake.
What do you think?

[sanjuro893]

I'm glad (and sort of surprised) they apologized and made it right.

Payed for time that said person was out of work?

[peanut]

I'm surprised they can't look at the guys ID and see the picture and the employee # don't match. Inconceivable!

Payed for time that said person was out of work?

I would be fairly sure they did.

As long as the non drug using John doe had his job reinstated and maybe compensation for lost wages I see it as an honest mistake that was made right

[peanut]

Another thing i find amazing is that they said "hey john, come here." proceeded to take his ID and said "your fired."
Escorted him out the gate and never told him why untill later, they called him and said something like, hey sorry, wrong guy, come on back to work.
They also don't even work in the same area.

If I liked the job and the people there are a couple of things I would request, after a sincere apology from the company.

1) A full review of the company's drug testing policy, including an audit/review of the particular lab they use
2) A full review of my employment/personnel file to make sure that any record of the termination was expunged
3) Full back pay and accrued benefits for the 'off' period


If I didn't like the job or the people, I would pretty much do the same but with a lawyer, in a more forceful manner.

That guy works on my dock....

[ruckerduck]

And fire the nimrod that made the mistake. He's is woefully incompetent.

[Stephen Cue]

LOL, not surprised in the least. I know a company like the one where this guy worked thats full of idiots in managerial positions along with many idiot union counterparts.

I will not name the name of the company, but its an Airline in America. So one might call it an "American" Airline.

You think the person responsible for this 'accident' was drug tested as a result?

Is it a unionized position?

I don't think that would be very productive.

Personal opinion.
