The company rejected suitable male applicants because of "married and childless", and was ridiculed by netizens as "looking for ligation next time".
A few days ago, a company turned away a male applicant because he was "married and childless" and turned away the news on the Internet, which immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens. The man has excellent conditions, has a 211 master's degree and 8 years of work experience, and is already a more suitable candidate, but he was rejected in the last step because of private life problems, which caused netizens to criticize the company's employment standards. There are also voices that the company's rejection of married men without children is also reasonable in considering that maternity leave will affect work.
It is reported that the HR of a company recently broke the news on social ** that a 33-year-old married man with no children was rejected by the company's boss in this application. The man is outstanding in terms of educational background, working experience and professional background. However, the company finally decided to make "married and have children within the age of 35" a mandatory requirement, reportedly because it was worried that older and childless employees might have their jobs affected by the need to have children in the later stage.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused criticism from netizens. "Looking for a married child within the age of 35, will it be ligated in the future", "Do you want to become a baby for everyone and open a nursery" netizens ridiculed. It has also been pointed out that this practice cannot guarantee that employees will not have children for a long time, and is suspected of infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of job applicants.
But there are also voices that defend the decision of the company's supervisors, "Giving birth to a child will require maternity leave, and a month of maternity leave will also disrupt normal work, which is also a last resort". The netizen suggested improving the maternity leave subsidy system to reduce the burden on enterprises.
Industry experts said that enterprises are faced with the problem of considering the impact of childbirth on work, but the rigid setting of "married and childbearing" as the main consideration condition has been suspected of discriminatory against gender, and it is recommended that enterprises start from strengthening training and improving the leave system, rather than avoiding the problem with the help of discriminatory policies.
