God that is so true. Once when I was in a management position, I wanted to fire this lady that was terrible - but it took me months of building a case because the company was worried we would get sued because she was a female over 40 that had been injured on the job before.

I definitely think that true change happens in the mindsets and hearts of people - not the legislation that is written by politicians.

I guess all I was saying is there are case studies as well that point to where certain legislation has helped groups - but in the larger scheme of things - I think it is a slippery slope of expecting the government to enact social change - which is not ever going to really work anyway.

Sort:  

Now who are you going to hire? The guy you can fire or the disabled lady you can't?
Doesn't make you sexist or ableist, just means you're responding to incentives.
