The interviewer asked: 'Are you married? ' The beauty in the workplace replied with a word, and the interviewer bowed his head in shame

Introduction: There is no absolute fairness in the workplace. There is an unfair phenomenon that is particularly common, even more so in private companies. That is to say, private companies will consider the employment of marriageable women again and again when employing people. First, because this involves marriage leave and maternity leave, the company will pay wages as usual according to the law. Second, when a female employee is out of position due to production, the company has to recruit a corresponding position to replace the person's work, which is quite troublesome. This happened to a former colleague of mine not long ago.

My former colleague is Li Yuemei, 29 years old. Like me, the leader of the headhunting project team, although he has a good basic salary and commission, but the headhunting is really too tiring, often need to work overtime when rushing to the project, and try his best to follow up with candidates, treat HR and The employing department has to pretend to be a grandson. Although Li Yuemei is 29 years old, after graduating from a university in Beijing, she has never been in a relationship, let alone married. Our personal relationship is also relatively good. She also told me the reason why she didn't get married. On the surface, she believed in Buddhism and believed that fate would come naturally. In fact, she had a boyfriend in Beijing who had been in love for 5 years. , At that time, it was already at the level of getting married. I didn't expect that his family would not accept her as a foreign daughter-in-law. The boyfriend had no intention of family struggle, and obeyed his parents' wishes, and the two of them were gone. She believes that she can live wonderfully without relying on a man, and she will never marry for the sake of marriage. She also refuses the blind date introduced by her family. As Li Yuemei's age increases, she can be considered earning enough money. She wants to find a relatively easy job and live a 9-to-5 life in a safe and stable manner. She chose to leave a few years ago.

After a series of screenings, Li Yuemei was most interested in the position of a recruiting manager in a foreign company, which not only offered generous benefits and benefits, but more importantly, the foreign company worked 9 to 5 with almost no overtime. As Li Yuemei wished, she went to the last round after going through the first three rounds of interviews. The last round of interviews was with HR and HR director, who had a great conversation with Li Yuemei throughout the interview process. The personnel director is so talented, he asked Li Yuemei's marriage and pregnancy status sideways. Li Yuemei answered truthfully that she was unmarried and not pregnant. The director of personnel continued to ask in the attitude of a past person, if there is a boyfriend, how long do you plan to get married, and 29 years old is also the marriageable age. Li Yuemei knew what he meant. When she was a headhunter before, she would also ask about the marriage and pregnancy status of female candidates. I didn't expect that it would be her turn this time. This can be regarded as a causal cycle. Although she was a little angry, but she was a fellow traveler, she still responded without fear: "I myself, I believe in Buddhism, I believe in karma. My parents also support my choice of marriage, so I don't need to. I'm worried, I don't have any plans to get married and get pregnant in the short term. My plan is to find out the industry rules in 3 years, after all, I was Party B before. So, in these 3 years, I won't cause trouble to the company. "The director of personnel looked embarrassed, after all The interviewee still seems embarrassed to answer such a direct answer. After adjusting back to his state, he said, "Well, Li Yuemei, you go back and wait for the notice, we will discuss your hiring."

Within an hour, Li Yuemei received a call to inform her that she had been hired. She was both happy and disappointed in her heart. She was happy that she did not need to continue the interview and finally found a satisfactory job. The disappointment is that women's marriage and childbearing status are difficult to interview in the workplace, and it is indeed too easy to find a satisfactory job.

This is indeed a very real problem, but, I still think. Women hold up half the sky. In today's workplace, the most recognized thing is not your gender, but your ability to work.
