What ca happen if I tried t take a drug test for someone at work?
A co-oworker of mine had an incident at work that required a drug test. He smoked marijuana and asked me if I would give him a clean sample. I did and he got caught with the bottle. He told management my name. I’ve been suspended. Can I be fired for this?
