If I came across an article that stated a company I admired was faced with a public lawsuit for discrimination, I would definitely be turned away from this company. Not only would I not continue to support the company, but also would refrain from applying in the future. I think that companies that promote diversity and can overlook superficial differences to see the individual and all that they bring to the table are the companies that are the most successful. This type of discrimination in the work force is not only illegal, but also promotes a toxic and uncomfortable work culture that I would not want to partcipate in. Growing up in a bigger city, I have always interacted with people from different backgrounds, cultures, and religions and I think that it is important for everyone to experience working and collaborating with people that may have a different perspective than them. I chose to go to an out of state school for college with an intent of meeting new people, and the college environment of people from all over the world was the best way to interact with people I would have never met if it were not for school. \u00a0 If everyone at a company thinks the same way, or has the same knowledge or background, not much would be accomplished. I have always valued the teamwork aspect of my different classes and jobs, and would hate to think that companies take away the collaborative and inspiring perspectives that different individuals can bring to that company. For these reasons and many more, I would not work for a company that was accused of discrimination, even if it was a company I had dreamed of working for. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
