   @MnemosyneSinger @foone I chose the third option on my employment forms because why would I give away data to 3rd party HR platforms and it turned into a bit of a thing because I guess it broke their systems a bit.

     @dx @MnemosyneSinger yeah I just applied to a job that asked a frankly illegal number of questions about my deal. Like, gender, sure, as long as I have a "no thanks/none of your business" option, but then they asked if I identified as trans, my sexual orientation, and a few more. Way too much, especially since they hadn't hired me yet.

     @Cassandra @dx @MnemosyneSinger my best guess is that it's incompetence and laziness, not malice. Their DEI team wants this info for new employees, but rather than implement it as a questionnaire after hiring, it got added to the pre-hiring questionnaire, because that already existed and it was easy to just add some more questions to it.
     And no one has yet noticed how illegal it is

     @foone @dx @MnemosyneSinger Why in the fucking fuck would you need to know that before hiring someone.

     The only legitimate answer I can come up with is "court-ordered anti-discrimination stats-keeping, to monitor this company's applicant pools versus the offers it makes.” But that seems unlikely.

     I might actually start using "come back with a warrant." Amazing.
