We live in a time where discrimination of any case is just not acceptable anymore as maybe the past had once allowed. Why would I want to backtrack on how far we\u2019ve come from history is ridding of discrimination more and more over the years, by working for a company that continues to promote it? Working for a company that is not diverse or does not open up their company to many different people with different backgrounds would sound miserable to me. Diversity is key for a company to have growth in ideas and innovation as different walks of life give different views and new ideas from their own experiences and their own upbringing.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>It is one thing for a company to make a disparate impact on their employees, but another for a company to have widespread discrimination throughout the entire company that is disparate treatment. More purposeful widespread discrimination is where I draw the line &#8211; and at companies not willing to move on from the past and create more diverse and inclusive work spaces that society promotes today.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Although, I will say that I wouldn\u2019t mind being hired on as an HR person or consultant for such a company, ONLY IF I knew these discrimination cases were finally coming to the surface and my job being hired on was to work in ridding the discrimination within said company and creating a new equitable work environment. I would only potentially apply to work for a place where discrimination came to light if I knew I was being hired on to make a change and fix those mistakes in their business and rid of any discrimination.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If one of my favorite companies was accused of widespread discrimination against individuals throughout the company, of any discrimination grounds, I most definitely would no longer support them or want to work for a company like that.
