How exactly are people supposed to pay their debt if they can't get a job because they have debt? An employer doing a criminal background check makes sense, a credit check far less so.
- csense 12y agoIt might make sense to check that for people handling large amounts of cash (could potentially be tempted to take it). I'm thinking this should only for people whose job involves handling large amounts of cash, like bank tellers, armored car drivers or casino employees. The checkout at Walmart or your local greasy spoon, not so much.
- sneak 12y agoHow exactly are employers supposed to trust people to be responsible with the management of large corporate assets that weren't personally carrying adequate maintenance contracts on their single most important asset: their person?
- eli_gottlieb 12y agoHow many workers are "responsible with the management of large corporate assets" and have full control over their own financial situation (ie: no medical or educational debts)?
- Evgeny 12y agoBy this logic, doctors that smoke, drink or/and are overweight should be fired - they don't properly maintain their own health, so should be disallowed to care about others. Would that be a good idea?
- sneak 12y agoI would never do business with a doctor that smoked, nor would I hire a smoker to work in a key role in any business I had hiring authority within. It's a fundamental failing of ability to do cost/benefit analysis.
