That's not really the way business works, though. If one of your employees is the top result on Google for a dumb meme, it could be a liability to the business' image with clients. Hence, you don't take the risk of hiring them over someone else, even if the dumb memer is more qualified and a better fit overall. It simply wouldn't be worth the risk if there's other, less qualified but less risky, potential hires.
- philippejara 9y agothis is why anti discrimination laws exist, work on applying that.
- spadros 9y agoThere's good discrimination and bad discrimination from hiring perspective. Every company should discriminate their employees they want to hire, just not based on gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. There's no laws about discriminating against people with less experience or worse public images, and shouldn't be.
- sincerely 9y agoanti discrimination laws are only relevant to protected classes in the states, as far as i know, and "did something stupid when they were younger" is not one
