Even in business context this can be weaponised.
Indeed. Just imagine the fall-out if someone started a movement where everyone who got turned down for a job they applied for then submitted a SAR for all of the internal commentary and communications about them. Suddenly every business that hires staff has an extra overhead, even small businesses need industrial-scale HR/legal mechanics for the application process, and the number of lawsuits for every conceivable type of discrimination skyrockets.
- awinder 7y agoThis is already a concern (not the absence of hiring documentation, but extreme caution around what is captured into electronic long-term storage), pre-and-post GDPR. "Pick up the phone" is a very real piece of advice around hiring-related conversations and for good reasons. I think it's incredibly contorted to believe the world falls apart here (in fact, the world would have to be pretty broken in order for it to go down that way).
