Has he been officially laid off from the old company or is the transition ostensibly seamless? In most circumstances California law only allows drug testing of new employees, not existing ones, but I’m not sure what the provisions are when a business or business unit changes hands.

Only he can determine if his principles are something he can afford. I’d be pretty annoyed at having to submit to a test to keep a current gig, but you have to gauge that against the likelihood that any other job he applies for will require the same test.

Yeah, that’s where I’m trying to gauge how common it is in the software development industry. My experience is less useful.
