‘Woke’ hiring: Endorsing Trump is top reason for job rejection
Washington Examiner ^ | April 7, 2021 | Paul Bedard

The business world’s discrimination against anything “Trump” has reached an epidemic level, touching former aides to the president, anybody pictured near the Jan. 6 Capitol protest, and now those who endorsed him on social media posts.

A new survey of hiring managers provided to Secrets found that backing Trump on social media is the top reason to reject a job applicant.

The apparent reason: Human resources departments want to avoid “tiffs” between employees.

“Likely to avoid future office tiffs, a significant portion of hiring managers admitted to negatively judging candidates based on the political content posted. For 27% of hiring managers, social media posts endorsing Donald Trump for president would negatively impact their decision to hire a candidate,” read the analysis of the poll done for Skynova, an online business software company.

Almost always. HR and marketing is full of women and homosexuals that are ultra-anti-white-male. IT/Marketing in particular always hate each other. The marketing people always overpromise and expect IT to bail them out.

Starting your own business is fine...unless you simply do NOT have the business acumen to start, run, and maintain a business.

Like me. I freely admit that I do not have what it takes to do that.

Maybe some if them, but most I’ve seen are run by men.

This needs a legislative remedy. Ignore objecting libertarians.

Never post on Twitter period. Nor Facebook.
They are run by people who want you dead.

What a pile of BS. The auto, space and engineering companies in the south are heavily populated by Trump supporters.

Now if the scribbler of this screed is pointing at social media companies in California, then I agree.

If a business doesn’t act ‘woke’ they will be sure you go broke. But in many ways it feels very much like they are pushing to create business ghettos, sort of along the lines of what happened in Germany with Jewish businesses.

Well summarized. Marginalizing, impoverishing, dehumanizing and then physically destroying patriotic people is the plan.

FB just locked me out for good, basically got trumped. the flip side, everything is gone, can’t be seen...

if I ever want a boss that might care, I think they just did me a favor.

I’d google your real name (Or duckduckgo, a bit better) maybe to see what shows up. It takes some time for search results to roll off the list. Any HR person, legal or not, is very likely to do that and filter on that before they do a full background check that costs anything.

We are full diversity. In some jobs I have fit in well and others not so much.

“Maybe some if them, but most I’ve seen are run by men.”

Even better. All the little snow flakes will be accusing these idiots of “hostile” work places, sexual harassment, racism, etc. Marxists always eat their own.

One bonus...

back when phone books where a thing, there was 27 pages of me.

My parents gave me a common name and my last name is like Johnson...

Lucky.. One thing though, if a search result comes up with anything negative and it’s you, don’t click on it. It’ll just reinforce the algorithm to keep it up. Just general FYI.

Just checked 10000 pages of results for my name in my state
Lost interest at page 10. None of it me.

Mom and dad got something right :)

Of course, people who endorsed Xiden are hired on the spot!
