Then again, I wouldn't want to work for someone who doesn't understand basic negotiations.
A friend of a friend got an offer from CHG healthcare. She checked Glassdoor and found her pay to be at the lower end of the position. She countered with a number near the higher end. Instead of negotiating, CHG Healthcare rescinded her offer. And that's how you perpetuate the wage gap!
The hope is by the time a company has invested enough to make a conditional offer that they are more willing to forgive a conviction history.
Under this law, employers will no longer be allowed to ask applicants about their criminal conviction histories until after a conditional offer of employment has been made.

Can't remember the article I original read. I went to MIT and of the handful of black students I knew well, half were foreign.
I feel the former has stronger gratitude for his school.
Name dropping Ellen Pao never helps on HN or reddit. People here really don't like her, whereas she's a hero in other spheres. Nevertheless, I don't agree with everything she did but she offers insight people miss.
The second part assumes class is the only disadvantage. Perhaps preference for poorer student is the only type of affirmative action accepted by both major US political parties. And I agree money solves a lot of problems, but it doesn't fix every race and gender issues. The best example is all of the famout actresses bringing awareness to sexual assault.
This is the downside of diversity and inclusion. Companies and schools have gotten so good at paying lip service to it, we can't tell what kind of bullshit happens on the inside.
Policy is to address the combined impact of frequency and magnitude.
Also, I took pictures of baby peeing on himself to show to his future dates. Can't wait!
Thanks for the feedback. I made the list more outrageous so it's more obvious.
A lot of male comedians transition to family jokes after having children. This could be the catalyst for my stand up career!
This paper says it's 24%. Do you have a source for 41? That's too high.
I spend 100+ minutes every day changing diapers. Actually that's not true, most of my time is spent trying to put the stupid newborn to go to sleep. I thought paternity leave was going to be chill and maybe I can learn a new hobby, master javascript, or travel to Europe. Nope, more stress than day job.
I think fatherhood is evolving too. My father's generation almost did nothing and that was acceptable. That is changing. One of the women in a dual income family says "Mom handles input, Dad handles output."
Also Bill Gates.
Anyway, my personal wish is coworkers should never, ever date. There are so many options, why take one that has the potential to blow up? Yet, it's one of the common ways people meet. I even knew one who married a woman he interviewed and hired. If only we could all be more logical about relationships. :/
