I have proof of this being a part of the application process. When asked in an email to the company on what grounds they asked about my relationship status they gave an absolute bs excuse:
"The purpose on the question is not focused on your relationship status. It is more about the support form your environment that can influence your stress resistance at work. You can treat this question as a question about the support from your closest friends, family, etc. The forming of the question can be a bit confusing, but this is the only purpose of asking about this."
So I also have the company admitting it in writing. I was not "chosen to go forward with" them. This question would have been an outright illegal and basis for a lawsuit in Finland. If it is not legal, to which agency/governmental institution should I contact regarding this issue?

kq8loerHow you handle work-life balance is important, especially in these hybrid working ways where the lines can get blurry if you are not careful.

kq8mkx9I'm 100 % remote.
Done my 7.40 hours and now I've stopped working for today.
But how that factors in regarding exercise habits and stress factors? And on anecdotal evidence, work life balance and many hours have little to do with whether or not you end up stressed. A shit working environment and culture and management and project planning and colleagues does.

kq8obfrCongrats on turning off your computer, many people are not as self disciplined.
Actually, many stressed people it is not the work that is the cause, it can just as well be the home situation.
Asking about how people handle such situations and how they balance things is fair. One of the recommendations is exercise, so if they are proactive, it will likely come up in the conversation.
Nobody suggested asking are you are exercising 0, 1-3, or more days a week
