“How many toilets do you possess?” This interview question works both ways in many cases.
I’ve done a bit of hiring and this won’t pass the legal bar (even asking what town someone lives in can be evidence of intentionally trying to find out if the candidate is of “the right stock”), but I also rather like envisioning a comedy scene of someone trying to use toilets as a sneaky determinant 😆 Very Monty Python.
Income isn’t a protected class. Is there something else that makes this illegal?
It is just dicey, because income can be related to racial factors. Poor areas in many cities are often overwhelmingly non-white. It’s something HR doesn’t want to touch with a ten-foot pole.
The world is my toilet
I wonder if answering “I don’t know, I haven’t checked” would count as:
Do sinks partially count?
Windows used to be taxable: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_tax
I AM A MAN… WITH FIVE TOILETS
Also helps figure out how much time they might spend pooping on company time. Someone without any toilets is gonna fully unload at work.
Makes sense. We had three growing up and only one now and I’m way worse off now than as a kid.
