If that's the intention everyone who uses this software opens themselves up to age discrimination lawsuits (40 years of age is the cutoff). This is either a really dumb way to market a product or it's actually meant to detect those discriminatory policies so employers can undo them before someone decides to sue.
- IncreasePosts 3y agoI think you're assuming the software would be used to punish people who don't like the policies...but what if it's just used to help accommodate groups who don't like the policies?
- kevin_b_er 3y agoYou are hoping for altruistic behavior in a highly capitalist environment. This is incorrect. It will not be used for anything but control and punishment.
- jstarfish 3y agoNo, this is the "safe" way to discriminate without explicitly saying "we don't like you." Case in point, look at Atlanta. Mandatory drug testing is still a thing, and they're averse to hiring anybody with a criminal conviction. If you really want to be nasty, you set up office far away from the nearest MARTA line. Altogether, you'll get very few minority applicants. What discriminatory practice would you sue over? They drug test everyone, turn away all convicts, and you can't compel a company to be accessible by public transit. So in the quote, gee, this policy being "really unpopular with those over 40" is how you drive them out. Being very intolerant of family/outside emergencies is another way.
