Pissed off my evaluator immensely, they forwarded my case to executive level, who re-interviewed me and asked if I'd like to rephrase my answer. I said yes and handed him my notice. Incentives and polarization to force a gender balance in jobs women clearly are rarely interested in, is a slap to the face of any man or woman who worked their ass off to get the same position that is now being seemingly handed out with ease so long as you at least identify as a woman and can fulfill a quota. Fuck em. |
Marry me?!
*Ahem*
I agree, equality means you hire purely based on skill, metrics shouldn't be the case when it comes to a career, it should be purely skill. He worded it so that he doesn't straight out say it, but the white knight in the interviewer knew what he was getting at and terminated the interview :( Personally, I think this is illegal, but he isn't gonna do anything about it as he basically got expenses covered for a month and a free £1000 startup bonus, and gets to return to uni, albeit a couple weeks late
