The Fair Work Commission is considering basic rights to work from home. Here’s what the evidence says about the impacts of working from home on physical health and mental wellbeing.
They probably do test at some places but no i meant i can’t look for work-from-home work because of it. And although I love cooking for people, commuting sucks, not being in control of my environment sucks (the A/C breaks all the time, the school Im at apparently has literally only 2 maintenance guys), putting on clothes sucks. I’m just insanely jealous of my partner, her biggest complaints are just that her coworkers do dumb shit and she’s frequently bored. She also gets bonuses and shit, i’m staggered by how jealous i am
I think the only way I could work from home is if I manage to not smoke weed for 3-4 months (i’ll want to die because i’ll be unable to sleep and even if weed doesn’t always put me to sleep it at least helps me not feel like i’m sitting in bed uncomfortable trapped inside my own thoughts) and i manage to find something that doesn’t care I have 0 on paper office worker qualifications, or if I do some streamer shit but let’s be real, I’m not knowledgeable enough to teach anybody cooking info they couldn’t get elsewhere and while I’m ok looking i’m not charismatic and i’m an asshole, i’m not getting that hasan piker mega fan base even if i could tolerate the public scrutiny (i couldn’t)
I have a friend who’s a cook. For a long time, he hid his depression and didn’t know he had adhd and self medicated with weed. But it stopped working at some point. Luckily, he got into therapy, before something worse happened, but it got close. Now he’s got a family and is doing great. Not saying this is comparable and of course, in an ideal world, they just wouldn’t do those stupid tests. But maybe you can find something else for your sleep and your thoughts? Medication/therapy/exercises/meditation/journaling or anything? Wish you luck.
White collar jobs are way less likely to drug test, fwiw. Entry level still might, for anything above that it’s very uncommon, outside of specific roles.

If your biggest concern really is just a piss test weed there ways to pass it even if you only take a couple days off smoking.
It’s even easier if you can get clean piss from someone and just smuggle it in. It’s hilariously easy to do as long as you keep it between 90-100F
I know someone who got a job at a prison (medical, not a guard) and successfully used synthetic piss they bought somewhere
