It's the opposite where my wife works.People with foreign names are far less likely to be selected from a pile of cvs.
We know this because some of these people have put in the identical cv but with a “John Smith” name

And where I worked for a period - reason left in the end.It's the opposite where my wife works.
God's honest truth!Seriously?
affirmative action has been introduced in a small number of companies, but overall my point standsIt's the opposite where my wife works.
What about Welsh, Irish, Scottish or Norse names?People with foreign names are far less likely to be selected from a pile of cvs.
Characteristics protected by law under the Equality Act 2010, you mean?I remember the days when if you didn’t get the job it was because in their opinion someone was more suited to the job. Now they must be ****tin themselves in case someone cries racism/ageism/genderism
Yeah the ones that get abused by sore losers every day now.Characteristics protected by law under the Equality Act 2010, you mean?
I totally agree there’s no place for any discrimination anywhere but it is being abused by the more unscrupulous among us.We had a lad one place who was a bit odd. Having done some work with autistic adults I reckoned that he was autistic, but said nothing as he was a good worker with superb attention to detail. One day at break he admitted that he had been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome (a form of autism). After that a couple of the guys started apparently treating him as though he was a complete moron - despite the (at least to me) obvious fact that he was a lot more intelligent than they were. He just arrived at the end solution a bit differently. After a few weeks of this he upped and left, only telling me on the last day why he was leaving. TBH he was worth as much to us as the two Herberts put together and had I been aware of what was happening they would have been the ones leaving. Discrimination is with us everywhere in society - be happy you are not on the receiving end
Would that be another name for positive discrimination for non white or non British people?affirmative action
