Alternatively we could just make it a protected class like we do with age/sex/race. That has its own issues but at least it'd be consistent.

- JimmyAustin 7y agoProtected classes are typically things that people cant change about themselves, which largely doesn't apply to people who have been convicted of crimes. It also has the downside of not allowing employers to avoid hiring people who have committed crimes in relation to their occupation. I might be fine hiring someone who embezzled as a software engineer, but I probably wouldn't hire them as my CFO.
- megous 7y agoThey can't change the fact that they did something in the past. But that shouldn't be the reason alone to make it a protected class.
