No, I’m not. The law is about firing people, NOT not hiring someone. SUre, it may be contrary to the spirit of the legislative intent, but the point is, there is always plausible deniability which can soften the impact of this
“The law is about firing people, NOT not hiring someone.”
No, that is not true. The law covers discrimination in hiring also, as well as a host of other things.
“it may be contrary to the spirit of the legislative intent”
Yes, it clearly is. You’re on the one hand defending the decision, and the ramifications it has for the law, and on the other hand, advising people to just disobey the law when the point out the negative ramifications it is going to have. That’s hypocrisy. If the law is good, then there is no need to circumvent it, and if the law needs to be circumvented, then it is not good.
