Job applications - pretending to be bisexual

[Deleted User 11453]

If you can gain preferential treatment in a job application by being bisexual then how would your employers ever be able to prove that you don’t bat for both teams?

When you don't put out at the office party for your properly gay manager ?

 

[The Sinful Dwarf]

You have to bang a man and a woman at the interview .

Sexuality shouldn’t come into candidate selection ever. Utter nonsense.

I know an owner of a small business who has a token gay employee.

The lass isn't gay but gets wheeled out at key times to demonstrate her boss's approach to equality.

True but its not likely and if he's a very butch homosexual ?

Gay and disabled!

Bugger! Literally!

They show you lots of porn and hook you up to a twingeometer?

 

[Rotten Johnny]

Looks like if you're straight and white you might as well not apply for that job.
It's great to see discrimination ending isn't it.

Am I missing something here? The advert doesn’t mention any kind of preferential treatment.

No, you aren't missing anything.

I think it's more of a suggestion that afore mentioned minorities may have a better chance of getting the job.

This. It’s implied. Once the HR team have such a mandate, it would be difficult to choose a candidate who doesn’t meet this criteria. The entire situation is bollocks. People should get a job on merit and experience. Nothing else.

If employers are offering things like guaranteed interviews etc they just say it in the advert.

"We particularly welcome..." seems to imply that applicants with these characteristics will be at an advantage, or why mention it?

 

[Toronado]

Just simply wrong

Exactly my thoughts. In many places discussion of sexual orientation in the workplace (and particularly in a job interview) is illegal and if it isn’t it shouldn’t be.
