A Black man has filed an employment discrimination lawsuit against a hotel in Detroit, Michigan, alleging the hotel only offered him a job interview after he changed the name on his resume, according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by CNN.
Dwight Jackson filed the lawsuit against the Shinola Hotel on July 3, alleging he was denied a job when he applied as “Dwight Jackson,” but later offered an interview when he changed his name to “John Jebrowski.”
The lawsuit alleges Jackson was denied a job in “violation of Michigan Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act.”
You can try and justify this nonsense all you want but the fact is we do know how a good business operates because they don’t operate the way yours does, and that’s reflected in your self pity about how hard it is for your business to compete in the market without resorting to awful behavior. All those Good businesses out there that you find it so hard to compete with are doing so well at making it hard for you because they aren’t playing games like this. A good business can put a job posting in and get a qualified applicant in short order.
So instead you come to Lemmy and cry about what a struggle it is as a poor victimized small business just trying to compete in the big scary world of capitalism, while waving a huge red flag with “We’re not worth working for” over your head at all times. You’d think the way you’re being publicly annihilated would be enough to trigger some introspection but I guess not
I haven’t applied for a job in over a decade as the best companies will come to me, but if I happened across your job listing and it interested me enough to apply, only to find out it’s a ghost job, you’re immediately blacklisted and there’s literally no amount of money you could pay me to even hop on an interview call with you.
We are doing fine, I wasn’t crying about anything. Read my original post which you and everyone else has failed to engage with.
Completely unrelated, most other small businesses are struggling because mega corps engage in collusion and price fixing, and also their volume allows them to take smaller margins and gives them better costs, which makes it hard for small businesses to compete.
A small business putting a sign in the window is not awful behavior, you are attacking a straw man.
Sounds like you have no idea what it’s like working retail in 2024.
A lot of bellyaching coming from somebody is doing just fine. Clearly you didn’t get the sympathy you wanted so now you’re changing your tune lmao. And I’d sure say a lot of people engaged with your original posts. Sitting at -25 currently, with nothing but negative comments calling you out as well. But you just keep trying! Surely it’s everyone else in the world who is wrong, and you’re the only one who’s right, even though you’re admittedly struggling!
