A young Aussie has unleashed after the boss of a local business asked an 'inappropriate' question during the hiring process and then doubled down when challenged. The woman, who posts on TikTok as Sash and Lady, was shocked when she was asked about her current relationship status in a written questionnaire after applying for a position with the company.
She was further stunned when the CEO defended the question by suggesting he was assessing an applicant's 'mental stability'. In a video posted online, the jobseeker revealed she couldn't believe she had the whole conversation 'in writing'. The video begins with the young woman explaining she was asked to fill out a survey as part of the application process, which she had no problem with.
'Then I came across the mother of all red flags,' she said. The question about her current relationship status which was written as multiple choice. It asked for 'your relationship status today' and gave six options to respond with: Married, single, in a long term relationship, married with children, in a new relationship and, astonishingly, 'I don't know what I am in, I am confused'.
The woman couldn't believe it when she came across this question. 'Obviously straight away I knew this was highly inappropriate and I am absolutely not answering that. It has nothing to do with the role or my ability to complete the role,' the woman said.
