The comments came in the case of a woman who took legal action after she lost out on a job with a marketing agency because she didn’t “vibe” with her interviewer.>
it was vibes that lost the women her interview. I would assume that vibes make up more dissisions on hiring panels than we think.
For football teams? Sure, maybe.
But that's not the main point in the case, is it? To me this decision seems like it says you could decide not to hire someone because they don't drink (since that's basically what was being argued). Couldn't that then be used to legally discriminate against, say, Muslims? Or people more committed to family than work?
I guess an argument could be that not drinking is unlikely to cause fights, whereas supporting rival teams, depending on the rivalry in question... There's a lot of potential for tension
In Glasgow if you have 2 guys go for a blue-collar job, where one is Celtic and one is Rangers, then who gets the position would be 100% determined by the team the boss follows, regardless of legislation.
Fuck Man U :)
That’s England as fuck right there. I get it though
actual clown country
grow the fuck up
If you actually read the article though that's not exactly what happened. It's just saying it's about football makes for a better headline.
while it wasn't the main subject of the hearing, it was used as an example of something that would also be legal
i reiterate: if someone supporting another sports team would "disrupt the harmony of the office", then the workers there are children that need to grow the fuck up
