Dumb application question

[VoidCat]

Taxes maybe?

You can ask for tax purposes but only after you hire the person and even then you wouldnt ask for the spouses opinions on things. To ask prior to hiring the person about martial status is illegal cuz it is considered an attempt to discriminate as some jobs dont want to hire folk who are married/aren't married.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I dont know. Like I said it's illegal to ask in the first place prior to being hired. And even if it wasn't why would their opinions on anything matter I am the one applying

To make an assumption based on how I was, it may be they don't want outside influences they don't approve of. But not only that, it's concern for their very fragile beliefs that can't begin to think about how anything outside of their "so narrow it's blinding" viewpoints can possibly work, with a general agreement that not only can it not work it's also an immoral position.
Still hella illegal though.

Taxes maybe?

That comes after hiring and specifically for that. There's actually many questions a company cannot legally ask to a potential hiree. Marital status is one of those things that is illegal to ask about.

They are trying to get around asking you about your religious beliefs, which is also an illegal question. Their question is illegal too, it is just not blatantly dishonest.

it's a christian organization so they are ok to ask about religion but not about martial status
Pre-Employment Inquiries and Religious Affiliation or Beliefs.

This exception relieves religious organizations only from the ban on employment discrimination based on religion. It does not exempt such organizations from employing individuals due to their race, gender, national origin, disability, color, and/or age.

So one the places I applied to was a private christian daycare.

My favorite question on the application they gave me was:

What does your spouse think of Christianity?


I was tempted to put tho did not(keep in mind the folk will likely assume im female cuz my legal name):

Im not married. Do I need to be to get this job? Am I extra hired if I get me multiple spouses just for this job? Are there gender requirements? Like if I marry all women would that work?Do these spouses need a certain look? Like can I have them all have alt fashion and scare all the grandmas picking kids up at your daycare? Also why you want their opinion? They ain't the ones you hiring.


I also feel this question may be illegal. I mean according to the eeco they ain't supposed to ask about martial status before hiring me. They can however ask after...:

Pre-Employment Inquiries and Marital Status or Number of Children.

You refer to it as a "private and christian", that is a huge red flag for anything and anyone not identifying under their guidelines. They can discriminate based on religious belief; especially christian religious belief.

Why would someone who identifies as a “satanic pagan witch” want to work at a Christian daycare, with children?

 

[Heyo]

I have Mrs Revolt's permission to rule the roost.

I gather you have a similar arrangement as some friends of mine. The man makes all the important decisions. The wife decides what is important.

Why would someone who identifies as a “satanic pagan witch” want to work at a Christian daycare, with children?

Because most the daycares are christian daycares round here. If I refused to work at christian ones that limits where I can work. Im ok with Christianity tho I dont follow it.

Not always. Some private christian daycares places are christian geared but ok hiring nonchristians and are more liberal with guidelines

It just depends which one you apply to and work at

 

[Aštra’el]

What exactly is Christian about the daycare?

What exactly is Christian about the daycare?

It's ran by a church and aims to give a christian education including a good understanding of the Bible.

 

[It Aint Necessarily So]

Im not open however to working somewhere where folk treat me like im less then and talk to me like im 5.

Most churches oppose a good understanding of the Bible. What they want to push is their personal interpretation of the Bible.

If that is so then wouldn’t parents expect Christian staff?

Parents wouldn't know I'm a nonchristian. I'd keep as i should my religious beliefs separate from my work
