Well it appears as though I have been discriminating in my hiring process, at least according to Facebook.  I miss the days of when people were not always looking for something to act like they were offended by. If you are easily offended stop here, if not:. The discriminatory job posting is shown below.

It must be the "no criminal record" requirement.?ÿ That would eliminate a third of the people on this board. 😳 😳 😳 😳 ?ÿ

Seriously, some people truly enjoy being disagreeable.?ÿ Ignore them and live your life.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is the company name that set them off. Say it out loud.

It's not "rodman", it's the company name. I assume either this was flagged by an algorithm with no human input, or the person who reviewed this wasn't a native English speaker. Did you ask for a review?

And off topic, but what kind of work requires an assistant for a rodman 😐 ??ÿ

Survey field assistant-rodman

I'm thinking the fourth word is a clarification of the first three.

As to the company name.?ÿ A very fine engineer that I knew many years ago had that same last name.?ÿ His first name was Dick, not Richard, etc.?ÿ Putting those two names together might give some pause.

@aliquot

Nope, we had posted several jobs in the past; SIT, EIT, PE, general labor.?ÿ I did ask for a review and requested to be informed of which part violated the terms and made the post discrimatory however the only reply I received was "We have reviewed your post and found that it violates our terms and will not be posted".?ÿ I deleted it and reposted it changing rodman to survey crew member and it went right through.?ÿ

We are looking for a field crew assistant (rodman).?ÿ It won't be full time rodman, sometimes strictly brush cutting, sometimes just being a mule carrying & pounding hubs & stakes after the rodman has identified the location.

Nope, John had it right.  Turns out rodMAN is discriminatory, guess you are just as chauvinistic as me 😉

Don't take my dreams away, I want to retire and get an assistant rodman job.

job duties:

-bring the rodman water

-help the rodman put the point into the dimple or center on top of the bar

-tell the rodman what a great rodman she is

UPDATE:?ÿ Just in case you haven't seen from above, the job title of rodMAN was the discriminatory part of the job posting.?ÿ You also can not post a job for a:

waiter wanted, it must be waiter/waitress wanted

maid wanted, it must be cleaning professional wanted (what if I don't want a professional, just someone to pick up my junk?)

salesman wanted, it must be salesPERSON wanted?ÿ

and on and on....

The California Department of Industrial Relations refers to my "helper" as Rodman/Chainman and if you don't type that into the Certified Payroll Report it won't accept it.

Gotta get a rodperson to pop personhole covers so the I-person can get a shot.

In all seriousness, I thought it was the 50 lb requirement.

That would be analogous to advertising for a rodboy. Which I doubt would be well received.?ÿ
