>So anon, you have quite the accomplished resume and really impressed us this interview. We would like to extend you a job offer.
>Oh! One last thing. We like to inspect the cars of potential employees to make sure they’re not living like a slob and respect their possessions as we think that’s a good indicator if they will respect their position here. Mind taking us out to your car anon?

A medical device company did this to my friend but luckily he passed. Admittedly I likely wouldn’t have, I keep way too many clothes and random shit in my car. Would you have passed the car test?

illegal to do this in Canada. It has been learned that a big part of this tactic is looking to see if the person has a child seat in their car - meaning they may be less committed to their work as a young parent.

>>21000521
fairly certain this is illegal in most states as well, why an employer would willingly set themselves up for a lawsuit like that is beyond me

you can literally just look at someone's business casual interview attire and judge them based on it. sherlock tier shit actually works with the way people dress

I would've told them to fuck off. A company that unironically wants to do surprise car inspects is also going to go full-on 1984 when it comes to everything else about your personal life. No thanks, massive red flag.

I don't even have a messy car, it's the principle of the thing. There's literally nothing in my car besides some cables for hooking up my phone.

I know it's illegal for employers to ask about your marital/parental status (at least in theory, they can still use subtle tactics to find out) but I'm honestly not sure what counts as "better" in their eyes.

Do they want employees who are single and childless because it means no other commitments besides the job?
Or do they actually want employees who are married/parents because it means having large monetary obligations that make them desperate for wages?

It depends on the type of job. The union jobs where I work take literally years for new employees to learn all the niche parts of it. So they hire older people who they know won't quit after 6 months. Then there are the corporate slave entry level jobs at other places that recruit fresh grads who they can burn out and toss aside every 2 years
