So at an event like Glastonbury you are so reliant on one person that if they needed to go and pray for 20 minutes or so the whole event would stop? What do you do with your existing staff when they want lunch or need to got to the toilet? Or do you just run your business so close to the bone that you exploit people?

mojomonkey Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Woody2, what about your question about an applicant's sexuality. Why would you want or need to know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, you didn't make that clear in your post. You did however say that they seemed fair questions to you. So why would you want to know an applicant's sexuality? I couldn't care less about someone's sexuality, that's their own business and I can't see how it would affect them doing their job. Or is it so you can find potential new partners?

I know you don't like answering questions but here's a chance to alter that. I can kind of see why someone would want to ask most of those questions (the legality of doing so is a different matter), but still don't get what you would want to know someone's sexuality. How would knowing that help you decide on an applicant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would knowing that help you decide on an applicant? In the dark and distant past, that question was thrown in to see if there was a likelihood of getting unwanted leverage against the applicant.

Please quit the usual evasion tactics and answer the question. Why would you want to know an applicant's sexuality? What job would that be relevant to?
