We don't discriminate against the unproductive
Some days I have to wonder if the news from Britain can get any stranger...
Employer told not to post advert for 'reliable' workers because it discriminates against 'unreliable' applicantsWhen it comes to hiring staff, there are plenty of legal pitfalls employers need to watch out for these days.
So recruitment agency boss Nicole Mamo was especially careful to ensure her advert for hospital workers did not offend on grounds of race, age or sexual orientation.
However, she hadn't reckoned on discriminating against a wholly different section of the community - the completely useless.
When she ran the ad past a job centre, she was told she couldn't ask for 'reliable' and 'hard-working' applicants because it could be offensive to unreliable people.
