Do you think you discriminate against cigarette smokers in hiring? ie. If you realize in an interview that someone smokes does it impact your opinion of them ?

No problems with smokers but I would never hire a vegan or someone who does crossfit

Agreed with sad1. Especially if it is so evident that they would need to be spoken to post hiring. It’s less about the loss of productivity for all the breaks, or the weakness it shows, but more about having a comfortable, pleasant smelling office mate

Not at all.

Finding vices in people while hiring can backfire on you instantly. It’s relative. Don’t go down that path.

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a contract TAS for 6 months in a medical device company. I started part time and as it became busier/my trainer quit, I became full-time. I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?
