600 comments and about 90% are "I'm gonna try this for a promotion 😂👌" or "Just.. Wow... The world is fucked" redditors are truly as gullible as the facebook boomers

    What is this take? If the line between starving and not is "lie to the psychopaths who demand 40 hours of my week about X", I will absolutely be lying about X. The abusers here are the ones demanding you destroy your body and soul for shareholder value.

      I'm not sure where I stand on it. Would you say it's okay to falsify a protected characteristic? (potentially blocking an 'authentic' person from getting the role)

      Maybe I'm identity politics poisoned. Of course, if you're starving then sure, but for the most part people aren't at that point in the US/UK, otherwise there'd be more realistic hope of revolution.

        The role isnt as a gay man, we're obviously not promoting people don blackface or something.

        I'm not super thrilled with an employer recording sexuality for anyone, obviously its more complex than this, but the boundaries of what makes someone straight are so fuzzy and personal, I wish we werent all stuck discussing the importance.

        Anyway this story is fake, and you shouldnt really be discussing sex at work anyway, I'm cranky sorry

          Part of me wants to fake an application to one of the "traditional values" places hiring so I can describe, in detail, how much I love sucking dick at the interview
