Damn I'm sorry you lost the position to human trash, I'm sad for the kids of your state

Yeah I don't know why so many comments are just being doomerist about this. Montréal is explicitly doing this to improve urbanism (literally what they say in the article) not just to make a condo.

You do that already, and it's even worse actually because everyone has an even more individual and sometimes difficult to remember thing about them you have to balance in a social situation. It's called a name. You have to be told it, you can easily forget it, and it's a social slight to call someone the wrong name. Right now gender expression feels uncomfortable to have to tell people because of the politisation and stigma pressed on it, but it doesn't have to be anything different than asking for someone's name to better address them.

As an organizational psychologist (the people HR people pretend to be when they talk about anything besides paperwork) these stories hurt me to my core. I absolutely despise how much HR lives up to its name of treating people like they are staplers in a supply closet. The way most companies are run is so shitty and short sited it's unreal.

Yeah I'm doing work today so I can get you the exact figure. So this is kind of a composite of different research as we have two points here:

• heightened pay disparity leads to all the outcomes I described earlier (Wilkinson, R. & Pickett, K. 2020; Bloom, 1999; Bloom & Michel, 2002)
• research assessing what this level of disparity looks like in companies for CEO pay (n= 55,238, 45 countries sampled) shows that individuals roughly find justifiable pay should be between 5-10x the lowest paid employee. So if you have your lowest paid employee making 75k the CEO should only make a maximum of 750k to keep a level of perceived equity. (Kiatpongsan & Norton, 2014)

This is actually supported in the scientific literature as we know that once the pay disparity between leaders and employees goes over a certain threshold it starts to decrease basically everything for employees from wellbeing to basic productivity (I know the citation but not home and lazy to send it). Problem is most organizations don't actually really want to make good effective workplaces that are good for everyone as they only want to benefit the people on top in the short term.

I'm Jewish and I don't get it either, every Jew I see falling for this fascist rhetoric horrifies and disgusts me

Cognitive ability tests aren't that straightforward and no online random free one is going to actually be representative of a true one. Even traditional "IQ" tests are not just a number you get. Most people with ADHD have what we call "spikey" profiles on most tests of individual differences. This is partially because we just have different strengths and weaknesses from neurotypicals that comes out in testing and the other part is these tests usually aren't made for people with neurodivergances and results tend to come out strangely (if you take any personality test based on big 5 or hexaco you'll probably have way lower contentiousness scores for example). You aren't a genius, but you also aren't stupid, you're just you with all the strengths and flaws.

I think everyone is, especially the people who are thought of as less capable by the colour their skin

Typical for the conservatives here

This is a situational judgement test, not a personality test, they are not the same thing
