I'm using an alias, because I'm to embarrassed to use my real name, but would like some input. I had been researching a company for months, and finally found a position that was a good fit. Went through extensive interviews and finally landed the job. No where did it mention any testing about anything. Not that it should matter. I had met up with some high school friends just before they reached out and some brought out some pot so we all had some. So, after receiving the offer letter it said, background check and drug test. I was so nervous, I went and had my own test at a professional lab and it was negative. It was an odd occasion after a stressful week with old friends. So, I thought I'd be ok for the real test and still failed. The HR lady was so nice and tried to help with all the new laws and thought it was no big deal, but since they're federal. They retracted the offer. I had talked with my new boss and had a start date. I want to reach out to him, but wasn't able to when this first happened. Wondering if I should and see the job posted again for 22 days'. I know I screwed up, so don't be harsh. I was so confident I gave my notice and lucky my old boss took me back after being truthful. Now, I'm in a job and thankful to still have it, but just burnt out. Would you write to this guy who would have been your new boss? I still want the job, but know it's over.
