Business Plan Critical Risks
Why can’t I ask a female at interview whether she plans to have kids in the next couple of years?
Life is not fair, and running a business is not “a bit of fun” or a hobby, it is a sink or swim daily struggle. If two people turn up to interview, one a 28 year old man and the other a 28 year old woman, both without children and both with exactly the same resumés, why can I not ask the woman if she plans to have kids soon? A small business can go under with maternity leave, job sharres and the expense it takes to train someone only for them to leave a few months later. Obviously for a big organisation this is not a problem, but for a small company it is critical to every employees survivial. Why shouldn’t I be allowed to ask the question. Unfortunately we live in a world where it is the WOMAN who solely have the children and usually need time off to look after them, disappear at short notice when they are ill, etc. So why should I ever risk it and employ her if both male and female CV’s are equal?
In such a scenario as you describe obviously the male would get the job. It may not seem right to our ever so correct ‘PC’ elements but as you say quite well a small business does not have the facilities to allow for training etc and then long absences. It is not just the business which counts but the other employees. A small business cannot carry the extortionate amount of maternity leave and time off when children are sick etc. Putting the livelihood of other employees at risk because of these ‘rights’ given to women (or other groups) is wrong.
It would be lovely to live in a Utopian world where everyone could have ‘rights’ and have things just how they would like them but we live in the real world and common sense is sadly lacking in the rules and dictates enforced upon us.
