A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Do you think potential candidates should be reimbursed in some form for taking assessments that are required by the employer in order to be considered for employment?

Also, should this be available for only job candidates who are not considered for the position?

Or should it go for every job candidate, even the ones that get the position?

Thanks for reading and being your most precious and sensual self ❤️.

I think they shouldn't be there in the first place - what is education for? Why are we doing assessments at the education level if they aren't actually valued or indicative of job performance?

Not everyone is 20 years old. This absolutely doesn't make sense if you're hiring a 50 year old person who has been working for 30 years; their college grades are completely irrelevant at that point.

Nobody is hiring 50 year olds. They are getting rid of 50 year olds and replacing them with 20 year olds
