You're asking the wrong question. Why allow it? Employers and people are not equivalent in my mind, even if they are the same, legally.
Your story is nice, but I've also heard stories where people are rejected immediately because they didn't share. Sure, you could say that people shouldn't work for those companies (and they shouldn't), but not everyone has the luxury of being able to interview anywhere, nor the ability to be accepted anywhere.
- madeofpalk 10y ago> You're asking the wrong question. Why allow it? No, this is definitely the wrong question. Things shouldn't be banned by default and then we debate about why to unban (allow) it.
- tabeth 10y agoNot sure what you're getting at. No one said things should be banned by default. Now that it is up for debate, as you mention, the question still is: why allow it? What benefits does it serve?
- madeofpalk 10y agoI'm rather indifferent on the issue - I guess by default that means I'm in favour of the current status quo But if you're going to ban something you have to have a good reason to ban it, not lack of a reason to keep it.
- tabeth 10y agoAh, well, I'm more of a "ban by default" kind of person. As for the answer to implicit question: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13452727 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13452727
