You certainly wouldn't, for example, be able to be Jewish and do taste testing on supreme pizzas, or Muslim or Jewish and be testing out pork cutlets. My point is that for the job that I applied for, "equal opportunity" is mis-named. It seems more like "get him on the record and under documentation surveillance, quick!"Chadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179687758591930770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366253539726228925.post-42203552048153912882008-09-24T19:08:00.000+09:302008-09-24T19:08:00.000+09:30You love some affirmative action.I can see how dis...You love some affirmative action.<BR/><BR/>I can see how disabilities might affect your ability to do certain jobs, not to mention religious affiliation. Muslim in a pork factory anyone? Asking sexual orientation seems downright intrusive though. I somehow can't imagine a uni saying "gays are underrepresented, hire more on the double!".<BR/><BR/><BR/>Also, you left the country? Oh snap I'm totally surprised!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
