There would be no additional costs as the EEOC already exists. I guess I should have asked for clarification about the seriousness of the statement that you are responding to as I assumed the individual was being somewhat sarcastic. That aside, the fact remains such a governmental body already exists. I favor self-determination and self-regulation over governmental oversight. Additionally, it is important to remember that while looking in distant job markets/industries is a good and viable alternative to being jobless in SV, not every aging tech applicant has the ability to relocate. Some people cannot relocate because they have aging parents they must care for or they may be divorced and unable to relocate because they have a shared parenting agreement that requires court approval to relocate. Some people are in the SV job market without any other options other than to leave the field.

I'm entirely serious. Companies use secrecy and information asymmetry in order to take advantage of employees. I continue to find ways to rectify that. Self-determination is a strawman.

  Have an applicant file a discrimination claim based on any number of factors in hiring or an employee file a claim of discrimination based on promotions and or down-sizing and you will suddenly have the privilege of providing every metric imaginable on the applicant pool. This will include interview selection process, distribution by any number of factors, hiring justification etc. All these can and do happen currently, no addition government regulations required. For a company that is committed to fairness and compliance w non-discrimination policies, self-determination sets the standards by which compliance w company guidelines is measured. Frequently a quality assurance process verifies compliance of their specified metrics before an offer or promotion is extended. No cause for concern when as a company you are committed to fairness and ensure such through self-assessments.
