I reside in GA! I recently was forced to resign from my job for a dirty drug screen for THC. The test was given after a staff meeting and everyone was tested the same day! It wasn't difficult for them to figure out what happened to me! The thing is they have told the residents in the group home where I was employed!
Now! I have some very strong opinions on the medicinal use of Marijuana! Indeed I have extenuating physical circumstances having been ripped apart- literally- at 17 by a guard rail I was slung into from the back on a motorcycle I was a passenger on! It cut off my rt. arm, broke my back, crushed my pelvis into 9 pieces, destroyed all the ligaments in my right knee, and almost took off both legs at the thighs!
I have a great deal of pain- everyday! I just want to function and work like everyone else! I want to make a living too! I don't live off the government teet!
I was a model employee! In fact- this came about as a way of getting rid of me as I was exemplarey(sp) and there was no other option! The residents (teens) really loved me alot and sometimes they really let that show! Unfortunately my co-workers - instead of taking my lead and treating the residents with great respect and love they got jealous and started an underhanded campaign to get rid of me! I stood out among those who simply didn't give a damn and just wanted to do their job and get paid! It was obvious to everyone!
So now a resident has contacted me and said that my ex-co-workers are talking smack about me! They told them I failed a drug test and was given the option of resigning or getting fired! I resigned of course! I'm simply outraged! I mean- ok! They got their way! I'm gone! We live in a small, redneck GA town! Must they now try to destroy my character? If they're trying to turn the residents against me it's actually having the opposite effect! I need some advice! I don't feel as though this is worth the character assasination- it isn't like I killed anyone here! If I had been in CA it most likely wouldn't be an issue! So I'm definitely moving! Thanks!
