lippy 918 #1 June 4, 2002 I'm looking for a new job, as I ain't liking my current one. I logged onto the Human Resources Development Canada website, to see the postings on there. I saw one in my field, great pay, and in the city I want...Then I see this:***THIS POSITION WILL BE STAFFED THROUGH THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION'S EMPLOYMENT EQUITY RECRUITMENT AD HOC PROGRAM THEREFORE, ONLY PERSONS BELONGING TO A VISIBLE MINORITY GROUP AND WOMEN CAN BE CONSIDERED.***I'm not sexist or racist myself, but how can they call this Employment Equity? Does this make sense to anybody else?Whuffo you sit on that couch all day?Lippy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
