I just saw a job posting for a luxury boutique that requires a full headshot with the application. Is this even legal anymore? It feels like a blatant way to filter people based on looks before they even see a resume. I refused to attach a photo out of principle. Am I shooting myself in the foot or is this a massive red flag for a toxic management culture?

That sounds unusual but I wouldn't think it's illegal. I mean, part of a job is that your employer will see you at some point, usually in an interview, so I can't imagine submitting a photograph violates any employment law. My guess is that if it's a luxury boutique they are judging people by their looks, and, well, lots of employers do that. They're just not always so obvious.

I think that’s a little weird and have never encountered that before

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities.

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!
