Why does a prospective employer need my address?
(lemmy.world)
This happens a lot: I apply for a job and they ask for my complete address. Why? I would understand if they just want to know what city/town I'm in: That has bearing on how easily I can get to the office.
But why do they need to know my street address?
The only thing I can think: Indeed/LinkedIn/take-your-pick is building a profile of me based on this info, using my street as a proxy for my income, credit score, or, ultimately, for my social class.
From now on, when they ask me, I'm just going to put a rich person's address. For this one I used a Brooklyn townhouse where Maggie Gyllenhaal and one of the Saarsgaards lives.
401k letters? Either that's a typo, or that's a lot of letters.
It's the name of the pension account

Ah. I didn't know about that
It's really more of a US usage tbh. Most civilized countries have actual pensions and retirement plans (or at least I hope they do, not for lack of attempts to remove them)
Whether a joke or not, I loved this comment. Sorry about the downvotes! Lol
