In years past, there were help wanted ads segregated by sex, some which said that {insert ethnic group} need not apply, and all types of caveats and restrictions mentioned, so that people the employer disliked would not waste his time coming for an interview. I thought that those times were long gone, but in a help wanted posting this morning I saw something that made me go “hm….” The company is a music-oriented one, making software that assists in keeping your music tidy on your computer. One line in the ad gave the requirement:
A passion for music (except Justin Bieber)
I see.
I think.
Wai leong told me when he was here, that the discriminatory lines were not allowed in ads? And this time, it pinpointed out a music celebrity? Lol
I suppose that it was meant as a joke.
