If my favorite company had a lawsuit against them, because they were thought to be discriminating against a certain population of people, I would certainly change my view of the company. I would associate the company with negative discriminatory practices, and be less inclined to buy their products or services. I would research the claims against the company extensively before making a decision to continue to support them. If I found that they were, in fact discriminating, and not doing anything to help the situation, I would be influenced to stop supporting the company, thus stop supporting the discriminatory practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing that this company was participating in discriminatory practices, I would not want to apply to work there. Personally, I would like to align my values with my career. Since I value equality, my culture and my beliefs, I would not tolerate them being infringed upon. I realize this comes from someone living in the developed world; I have options in terms of companies I may work for and careers I may pursue. That being said, I would not be willing to work at the company at this point in time, even if it had been a goal of mine before. If the company is able to come out of the lawsuit with a new action plan to stop the present discrimination, I may reconsider applying for the job. I would express my concerns at the interview and explain that I would like to be a part of their change in creating a more welcoming workplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
