> If feedback can be interpreted as being discriminatory, or reflective of bad company culture in general, well, word gets around.
If the feedback can be interpreted in such a way ....
then the rejection is discriminatory.
Pure and simple.
"Culture fit" reasons are code for bias.
"Culture":
* national origin
* age
* religion
* gender
* sexual orientation....
... all protected classes, yet covered with the "culture fit" excuse to protect a company from being accused (correctly) of discrimination.
