While all of that is nice & dandy, in the real world discrimination does exist. I know I'm guilty of it & I simply consider this as something you cannot rule out, just like bias in journalism. The law in these cases is often just wishful thinking.
My favorite 2 questions: Can he/she do the job? Would you enjoy spending time with him/her outside of the office?
If it's someone I'd get in a fight with every time we go out for a few beers then that's a no-hire.
- bmj 16y agoQuestion #1 is far more important than question #2. In fact, I'd argue question #2 shouldn't even be asked. I work with some folks who are very, very good at their jobs, and I get on with them well enough during work hours, but I have zero interest in engaging them outside of work (and it has little to do with political preferences). Personally, I think it's sorta sad that as a culture, we've allowed political differences to splinter relationships, professional or otherwise. I'm not suggesting that we can't disagree about politics, but it needn't be as divisive as it is.
