I was shocked to hear he ended up not hiring the pregnant woman, wouldn't that be discriminatory?

- oneandoneis2 13y agoUh.. no. She withdrew.
- mc-lovin 13y agoIt's a new loophole: guilt them out of exercising their rights under federal law to get pregnant on your dime.
- precisioncoder 13y agoIf a man was planning to work for just 6 months to fill a gap before he started a job he was looking forward to would you hire him?
- RobAley 13y agoIf the job was for a fixed period (like maternity leave) and he was planning to come back afterwards, and he was the right person for the job, then sure. I've hired like that before. People need time out in their lives for all kinds of reasons. If you're playing the long-game when hiring, which you often are (or should be), then you need to take that into account.
- precisioncoder 13y agoIn the right circumstances I would as well. I meant to simply point out the general idea that substituting man for woman will imply if it's sexist or not. In the article it also does not mention whether or not she was ever planning to go back to work.
- yarrel 13y agoYes. I've made that hire.
