NEW YORK—After reviewing the job candidate’s impressive educational background, research experience, and work history, hiring managers at Geneventis Pharmaceuticals reportedly flat-out asked female applicant Caitlyn Heard today about how much mileage they can get out of her before she has a baby. “You are clearly qualified for the position, so we just want to know straight up: How many years can we squeeze out of you before you get pregnant?” said corporate recruiter Jason D’Amato, candidly asking the 29-year-old medical school graduate to spit out exactly how long they can expect her to work 60- to 80-hour weeks prior to leaving to have a child and wasting the company’s investment in her. “Let’s get down to brass tacks here, all right? Do you imagine this being the kind of thing where you’re biding your time until you save up enough money to be a stay-at-home mom, or are you planning to go hard until you’re 35 and then have a baby and scale back to part-time? Be straight with us: How much time you got left on your clock?” Sources confirmed that after Heard left the room, the recruiters privately joked that the minute they promote her to head of clinical research she’ll probably announce her pregnancy.

nah, they just asked her what her salary history was and current expectations so that they can continue to justifiable under pay her.

'Now it would be very irresponsible of us not to check the expuuratin date on that' said the interviewer

Guess it depends on whether birth control is covered by their insurance 🤣

Aaaand that's why my wife and I both know she may as well forget applying for a job for 4-6 more months since she's 6 months pregnant.

Can't do that because she is in a privileged class.

Frfr and they’re asking cause they gonna be hitting it on the side too....

Ouch, this one stings. And I'm not even female.

BRUH

They’re concerned how she will do with their polls.

This is literally a question asked of female candidates for jobs in Japan.

Watch this space...

Yup.

This one is real life though.

It would be funny except that's exactly what happened when my wife was looking for a position in a law firm in Austin, mid 90's. She took a job at a smaller firm, we have two beautiful children now. One just started working on his masters in education.

Can y’all make an app?

Lame

'Depends. This is a catholic hospital &, apparently, you can deny my birth control.'

The amount of people that don't see the problem with this is concerning 😐

When did you guys stop doing satire?

Love bluntness

I smell a lawsuit. 😯

Legit question.

This sort of situation actually happened to my mom when she applied for a job & they bluntly asked her how old her children were & if she had stopped having children. This was in the mid-80s & questions like this were not considered illegal to ask.

Big companies, this should never be an issue—cost of doing business and they exploit employees so much it’s barely a blip when they get screwed a little. Small business? I’d never hire a woman who wasn’t clearly postmenopausal—unless she was a friend and I could afford it

no wait, if the workers have children they can work too

cancelled lol

'How many licks does it take to get to the sexual harassment suit?'

Fair question.

transparency I like it

here's 5k for every egg you decide to freeze 4Head

It’s a real financial issue for companies, I don’t see the comedy

HR yawns.

Martha McSally run the interview?

Holy asscrack, rude!
