(For those unfamiliar, I'm referring to that largely mandatory diversity section you see on most job applications, asking about race, disability status, etc. In theory they have to include those applicants but really it just reeks of a mouse trap)
I always avoid using any of the "any pronouns"/"other gender" and similar options when on job search/professional settings for very much these same reasons
If the whole job interview is a farce that is down to personal opinions, might as well play along posing as their idealised candidate
Ah, ok. Very alien to me. Most offices in Denmark wouldn't do that shit, cuz if you hire in for diversity you also have to actually treat the worker normally. If not then the worker could sic their union on the workplace.
I'm legit only against US DEI because in here they only hire black or queer people if they think we are easy to manipulate. This is why so many creative fields in the US dipped from DEI while everywhere else they did well. Because the problem with diversity was always from the employer's side here.
Legit Japan offers the same programs and we get amazing stuff from them. Eastern Europe, greatness. As soon as they hit certain parts of Western Europe or here? An abomination. And it's because of that attitude. America is corporatist, which is legit just nazis without the cool jackets.
Another way to describe this. A pay raise for employees in the us becomes slave labor for the customer. Instead of someone cute getting paid to take my order, now some machine forces me to pay to do her job and removed her from working. They replaced cashiers with customer slaves.

Still not sure if that makes it kosher, for all I know it's a flat "you can't ask that", but either way they're not getting shit out of me lmao
