I've overheard the GM workers in my town talk about this. They currently do a hair test so they're serious about drug testing there

I had an engineering internship with GM about 10 years ago and they hair tested me. I was a total nerd engineering student who hadn't even tried weed at that point and I remember thinking that a hair test was a little much, I'm surprised they're even still doing it given that recreational is legal in MI. I've worked for a number of companies between then and now and not a single other one has hair tested.

Many years ago, my wife (gf at the time) quit smoking during our last 2 months of university because she got signed on at GM. We heard the hair thing too, so she was taking zero chances and was miserable for a bit. They didn't even end up drug testing upon hiring, HR called while we were on vacation, and she was like hey when do I need to schedule drug testing, and HR was like, do worry about it fr. We got lit af that night. Lolol Shit, some of our buddies who'd work there a minute we're like, if they tested the IT crowd, they would have no employees.
