Beyond Pay?

An anonymous reader asks: "I was wondering if Slashdot readers have encountered harassment in the workplace, and how they have dealt with it. In particular, when working for technology-based companies. Examples of this include the company forcing employees to put in extra (unpaid) hours, with the implicit/explicit threat of loosing the job if they don't, to actual personal harassment in the work place by management staff. My experience is that even in cases where the employee is completely right, it is impossible for her to win the case, given current employment law."

-1, Troll or -1, Flamebait, I can't decide

By concluding the post with ...given current employment law, the question immediately becomes a troll or flamebait. So its the evil employers, who have the System in their pocket, to 'exploit' the Working Class? Geesh. Rephrase, with less inflammatory language, please, and we'll discuss. Lets discuss some specifics.

Re:Interview questions.

And in 1961 they could turn you away for being black, and in 1971 they could turn you away for being a woman. What's your point? What used to be acceptable, like your example from 14 years ago, is not acceptable today.

Don't give me that shit. There is a world of difference between being black, or a woman and in being a homosexual. When a black person walks in the door for an interview, it's plainly obvious that he is black. Same thing for a woman. If you're a homosexual, people only know that about you when you let them.
