I'm getting sick of the invasive questions
"Gender?
Sex at birth?
Are you trans?
Are you gay? Bi?
Ever been depressed?
Abuse alcohol? Drugs?
Ever been arrested?
Ever been in the military?
Well what about your spouse?
Ever work for the government?
That degree you mentioned, we can't ask your age but uh, when did you earn that bad boy, huh?"
NONE OF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE POSITION.
This is 100% occuring in the USA. Where I live and work.
Where are you that has questions like these?
5 of those questions aren't asked in the US.
I am in the US.
Those questions are 100% asked.
Source: over 1000 job applications this year so far.
That’s like 4 a day, every day including weekends. Where do you live where there are that many jobs available?
Yes that's about right. I do between 20 and 80 per day when I do applications.
The US.
Remote jobs are a thing.
You're lying, plain and simple. Tell me with a straight fucking face you've been asked about sexual preferences or gender at birth.
Another American here and I can tell you that I've seen both these questions on interview forms. They each came with a "prefer not to specify" response, for all that's worth.
i totally believe you...
Aren't asked for now. I'm pretty sure in certain states will become mandatory...
They are. I am in the US.
