So a friend of mine is up for a new job, and you know, tough job market.

So he's been going on interview after interview after interview, trying to find the, you know, the place he's going to work and for somebody to hire him.

And so he's going back for like, I think his third interview or second interview at this place.

And so there's a fair amount of interest right so he's

all into it and things are cool and his supervisor the supervisor who um was interviewing him this time

or manager is was a was a female but not the person that he would be working for okay um so the person

who's doing the interview is a good looking female about his age,

he says, right? And standard issue questions, what are your strengths, what are your weaknesses,

casual conversation about what he could bring to the job? And then she springs this on him

in the middle of the conversation. Now, would you have any opposition or do you, what, this is how she phrased it, what problems do you foresee working under a very attractive female supervisor?

Hmm.

Assuming he'd be so distracted he couldn't get his work done?

I don't know.

But that's the way she phrased the question.

What problems do you foresee having? So it wasn't like, would you have a problem? It's like, well, what are your problems going to be? And that's just a weird question to ask in a job interview. It almost sounds like if we checked with HR, that that would be, if not inappropriate, illegal to ask a question like that.

Definitely.

I don't think, why would it be illegal?

Sex discrimination?

But what's the discrimination?

Well, I mean, if he says he couldn't handle it, then would they ask a female applicant the same thing?

That's, I mean, if they do, then it's not discrimination. Yeah, but I'm saying more than likely they probably wouldn't.
