@grendel84 I skip questions like that.

Also questions asking when I graduated from college and martial status are nunya (busines).

I won't provide references until there's a background check so managers aren't used as sales leads.

I won't sign contracts with an arbitration clause or disparagement clause.

@mvilain The problem is, we are in a position of strength and able to do these things. The practices should be made illegal so no one who isn't in that position can be compelled to do them. @grendel84

We would be in a position of strength if we organized.

@grendel84 That's actually a lot better than what I considered when seeing that, and that would be to just make something up.

@grendel84 "I refuse to negotiate against myself" is my answer to this.

@grendel84 @vmstan Seems like the correct field for the “this is illegal to ask” answer. If it’s still legal in your state then the answer is “none of your fucking business”
