Love to see their LGBT ratios too, they're very gay friendly.

Why should a company have to be gay friendly? Surely the should be gay indifferent? The same as they shoud be colour/race/sex indifferent and always hire the best person for the job regardless.

That would be great in a perfect world. People didn't pull out some of these policies out of their butt, a lot of companies still/used to discriminate against non-white/gay/handicaped.

I find it so weird the three things that you put together there... it appears as tho you are saying neither of the 3 of them could prevent you from doing certain jobs or that being Gay or non-white is equatable to a handicap be it physical or mental.

I'm 100% with Mr shine on this one tho, there shouldn't be policys in place to give someone a job who is under qualified just because they finish off the rainbow jigsaw that makes the office PC, should never happen. The fact that someone went through the MS offices with a clip board ticking off everyone if they were black or white almost is more worrying to me... what about mixed race? did they hold up a paint tone chart next to their skin to see which end they were closer to? must have felt great being counted like that...
