I find the process of hiring employees to be interesting, and this class along with my human resources management class has given me a thorough understanding of how a company goes about the process of hiring someone. And as someone who pays close attention to legal cases and especially ones that show evidence of discrimination, learning about the various lawsuits and precedents set by past discrimination cases and how they have shaped the hiring process for all businesses was the most interesting thing learned about in this class. To think that for decades before cases like these were brought to national attention, people were so openly fired or chosen not to be hired simply based on what makes them a person. This must-have set so many lives spiraling in the wrong direction, and some people were left in the dust as the future of these rules was so far away from them, that they had no hope of really getting the career that they deserved. Executive Order 11479 has shaped the way that businesses operate today, more than 55 years ago. America has been a working economy ever since it was founded, and for those hundreds of years to pass without due process for many people being discriminated against is tragic but also fascinating. Another topic that I had no about was work-relatedness, a particularly interesting case I read about was the Hooter’s discrimination lawsuit for not hiring men to be servers in their restaurants. This had to do with the experience that Hooter’s was trying to provide, and women were a big part of that experience, as this was their brand. Although this case might not seem as important as other hiring discrimination cases, it was extremely interesting to me to see the nuances on both sides of the argument, and how hiring ethically was a major issue.
