so what, you can sue companies for their preferences?
I don’t think for a second this is discrimination. it’s her face, it’s their workplace. and yes, a person can be rejected for a position if how they look isn’t appropriate for the job. and looking like a desk isn’t really appropriate.
good job to the person who made the comment. fucking ambulance chaser ofc sues the company, no surprises there.
It’s not discrimination to reject an application for non protected reasons. None of those tattoos are protected. They are not tied to a religion. They are just poor choices.
This is true too, but for some reason many societies consider religious choices to be sacrosanct.
To be fair, though, I'm not aware of any religion that requires people to have face tattoos. But if you're talking about head coverings and the like, then yes, you're right: those really are choices. No one is forcing these people to wear those, unless they live in one of the handful of countries that does.
You can only sue for discrimination against a protected class so she will be left arguing in court that it's normal for either a woman or black person to have tattoos all over their face like this
there is a new shop in Sydney CBD called Alo, they sell workout gear. Without exception every staff member is like 20, super fit and good looking (and white). I think they probably have a hiring profile and reject a lot of people based on age, looks, weight, color.
Not many jobs do they have to like hire you on the spot either. And who’s to say it isn’t as simple as they found someone more qualified. That will get tossed out and she’s gonna lose like $500 on some shitty lawyer who told her she had a slam dunk
Of course it's discrimination. We discriminate for all sorts of legals reasons. We discriminate against children by not letting them vote or drive cars, for example. what this is not is discrimination based on her membership in a protected class, and only that very narrow, specific form of discrimination is illegal.
For me, the main reason I would reject her is she clearly has poor decision making skills and or impulse control. I don't want someone like that working for me. That is how your company gets on YouTube for having flights in the parking lot.
With very few exceptions, every tattoo you get should be covered by a suit and tie. And every piercing should be removable.
No actually it doesn’t work that way. Yes. A company is not allowed to have preferences except for very specific scenarios (modeling). If a person can do the job then a company cannot discriminate based on appearance.
Being attractive or not isnt either. You can come into my office for a job and I could just not like the outfit youre wearing and be fully within my rights to have that be my official reason for not hiring you
I didn’t say or even imply it’d be because of ugliness. I used the term “inappropriate” and who the fuck am I to even judge if a person’s ugly or not anyways?
but I and we all judge controversial choices and these many face tattoos is a controversial choice.
Incorrect. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Even if someone is “fully qualified” it doesn’t mean they are the best candidate or “most qualified”
Yes they can! Only certain categories are protected classes (race, sex, religion, etc). A private company has every right to decline to hire based on this or other personal grooming issues.
