Do you ever wonder what companies actually do with the voluntary disclosure questions on job applications? I’m talking about the gender, race, disability, and veteran status questions. They always say the answers won’t affect the hiring decision, but I am curious what’s the actual purpose of collecting the info and does choosing “do not wish to disclose” change anything? Maybe I’m overthinking it, but it’s one of those sections that always makes me hesitate.

They’re used for government tax breaks based on those answers. Walmart makes a fortune off those questions because of their participation in government programs.

Wow—I never knew this. Very interesting…

I wonder the same thing. My company had been going out of their way to get people from a certain demographic. Although I’m not sure if they did that through actively recruiting or looking at those answers.

Yeah, that’s what makes it confusing. It’s hard to know whether it’s truly just reporting data or if it indirectly shapes recruiting priorities.

My sister and I have recently both come to the realization that our parents guilt us into spending time with them or visiting them and the guilt causes us both to shut down.

We’ve both noticed this shift in our relationship with our parents after graduating from college and starting our own adult lives. Continued
