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

Posted on 04/14/2021 4:10:04 AM PDT by C19fan

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.

All told, these studies tell a consistent story in which political discrimination strongly impacts conservatives, creating a hostile climate for their beliefs. Imagine denying results like these if five consecutive studies reported that one in three academics would discriminate against a black applicant, or that half of women reported a hostile climate against them in their department.

Yep, when you say we’re losing to H1Bs and offshoring, I know that’s a fact.

And it sucks, because there’s really not many options now. All the low end is filled with illegals, even teens can barely get jobs in that area. To get a ‘behind the glass door’ style job, you pretty much have to be very well connected or Elon Musk level savvy. The middle is being killed off by what you said.

True. Only jobs left for Americans seem to be extremely low-paying retail jobs, fast-food jobs or warehouse jobs at Amazon.

Indians are taking all the skilled white-collar positions, and Mexicans are taking all the skilled blue-collar positions.

Many Freepers say a skilled blue-collar job is the only real answer to job stability. What they don’t say is all the junior-level positions are increasing filled with Mexicans and they will soon dominate these jobs as well.

Only area that Americans did well in were the services type jobs and small-business. Guess which two fields got absolutely killed with the coronavirus government lockdowns?

Think back to how you connected before the Internet, and stop with the whiny, crybaby BS

Ok I’ll bite. Will you pay the very expensive international phone bills I will have to stay in contact with my family and friends once I exit social media?

A new Facebook page will go up soon since no Facebook page is another red flag for the zampolits. It will be all desinformatsiya and maskirovka, feigning loyalty to the Party.

True. Many companies/ local governments see no social media as an immediate red flag.

No LinkedIn especially means no interviews as that’s an absolute requirement these days.

I used facebook and twitter to screen resumes years ago.

You can find all kinds of insights into a person’s personality and character.

Didn’t have to use it on one resume though. “2008 worked on the Obama campaign”. Immediate circular file.

International calling is included in many cellular plans, and I’m not telling you to do away with VOIP solutions such as Skype/Teams/Zoom/etc. Hell, you could use FaceTime or even Signal.

Only to Mexico and Canada

Zoom? That Communist Chinese owned and operated shovel-ware?

Skype? Teams? Owned by Woke-ass Microsoft and Google, headed by Dot Indians?

FaceTime? Owned by woke-ass Apple. And not many people in the Philippines have iPhones

Signal? You mean the software no one uses that I even had to look up. Great for talking to yourself. The Jack Dorsey/Twitter endorsement instantly killed it for me.

This is 2021, not 1951. Not waiting 1.5 to 3 months round-trip time for letter.

If you are going to play woke social media banning game, you can’t pick and chose who is allowed if that all are equally bad.

By the looks of it, you are a Communist Chinese, Microsoft, Google, Apple and Twitter fanboi. All are as evil as Facebook.
