Your employer probably knows how long it takes to get results from the company they work with, probably not random stoned Internet people just saying

Gottcha. I went to a collection site that sends it out to a lab. Pretty common nowadays. Even labs sent them off too now to specific sites that they have to do these.
at the jobsite when they do tests, i just jump in my truck and go home, lmao. and just show up the next day at work. everyone knows i burn, but the tests are mandatory. so I just slip out the back door when they do tests on the job. I even get a heads up from the contractor that a test drug test is coming up if I'm working for one haha

But, random stoned internet people know how long it was before the MRO actually called them with a fail. That is what I am trying to figure out.

ROFL. Too funny.
I was hoping anyone who actually had failed a test before would remember how long it was before they were notified of a failed result. I know all you stoners still have your brain cells.
ive never had to take one we dont do that where i am unless the job is like police officer... lawyer ect

11 years of parole, 3 years of probation, 15 years in Corporate I.T. Security, I never failed a drug test.

Now, I get DOT and OSHA tests, and never take 'em. I told my boss if piss tests ever became a job requirement I'd finally get to kick his ass for firing me.

OP: 1 -3 business days. Normally 1. If it's longer than 5, they know and are looking at the legal side before telling you, the test was positive and is being sent for a more accurate test, you'll need to retest because your results got lost, or someone at the company is just fuckin' with you.

We are at day 4, which is why I am wondering when people normally hear from the MRO.

I worked Construction we are a mixture of out cast from all kinds and you learn to appreciate a man for the talent he brings to the job at hand.
And as long as they leave their quirks at home you don't GAFF!
I worked construction and about 3/4 of the company toked and there were some alcoholics with quirks they let slide. The company said they'd only drug test if there was an accident and they preferred pot smokers to others because they never got hurt on the job(or if they did they didn't report it). It was a big company and the job opening said they drug tested but at the interview they bring it up and tell you it's only if you get hurt but it weeds out a lot of applicants just having it there.

One guy from a temp agency I worked with cut off the tip of a finger with a skillsaw his first week on the job. He was a meth head but could pass the drug test because he didn't toke. He sat on disability/workmans comp for the max time then got fired a week after coming back for being a meth head. lol
