Serious question - at what point in hiring do employers start to look at equally weighted white male candidates and female and/or minority candidates and consider which is statistically more likely to get them sued for sexual harassment or shoot up the workplace?
Follow up - is a remote workplace safer and more equitable for women and minority workers?
@Cosmichomicide I haven’t got any answers to these questions that are surely asked in some cases. A related issue is confidentiality around the “real” reason that people are terminated. My husband’s colleague’s ex-wife was a deliberate serial litigator, bringing sexual harassment or discrimination suits against one after another corporation. She even joked that she made more in settlements than in salary. The settlements required confidentiality so each new employer was unaware of the grift.
