A question to CD's from a TS about employment.

[Badtranny]

I would hire based on the job requirements and the qualifications of the applicant.
Nothing else should matter...there's too much "equal opportunity" these days and I feel that that is one of the reasons that American businesses are struggling. They do not hire the most qualified, but to fill quotas and that detracts from the performance of the company as a whole.

What? I work for a rather large electrical contractor, which is wholly owned by the largest specialty contractor in the nation which is a publicly held company so we are well aware of EOE requirements, but there are NO quotas and NO pressure to hire anyone that isn't in fact the most qualified. People like my Tea Bagger dad say this kind of stuff all the time, and it just isn't true.
