Discrimination charges.

I played around over there for a bit, and it appears the only page that doesn't work is the one you linked to.

Yes I was Able to access other portions of the site however when clicking on the link to a form to actually file a complaint I encountered the message that top_water has confirmed. It’s very peculiar.

This is merely an observation, and is not directed at the OP......am I the only one who’s sick to death of so many playing the “discrimination card”? It’s become the in thing to sue on the basis of gender, race, age......anything that doesn’t go an individual’s way. Don’t get me wrong....discrimination is wrong....but some of the claims are off the charts. JMO.

About 20 yrs ago I worked in a small sub shop in MA. The man who hired me
sold the business back to the original owner, a Greek gentleman, and he
dIid renovations so I was unemployed for a short time. He hired me back and after about a year I asked another woman working there (she was Brazilian),
why no other Americans worked for him and she said he doesn't hire Americans because they don't want to work and are always out sick or looking for time off.
I asked the owner about it and he said he hired me because I was married w/
kids. I wasn't offended but I learned how to speak Spanish w/o Babbel.com
Discrimination's out there. Good luck filing a complaint.

Unfortunately discrimination still exists today. Looking at it objectively it's incredibly difficult to change as there are so many stereotypes and variations that come with it there is no set way to address it never mind identify its source. Many businesses today are forcing the issue by installing quotas where it is not about hiring based on qualification, experience and expertise but rather simply on appearance. Then again I've personally seen well qualified candidates passed on with no good explanation but I can very easily come to the conclusion that working in an industry that is heavily male dominated, women in particular don't get a fair look when it comes to being hired or breaking into a management\leadership position.

Hard to say what the right answer is here, ideally it would be awesome if none of this existed.

This is not off the charts. This is discrimination of the most insidious kind.

I was merely making an observation, which should be perfectly clear to anyone who can read. I do not approve of discrimination of any kind. Clear enough?

Maybe, but you're not the OP. I hope he'll let us know more.

Discrimination can be a funny thing. In some fields, such as tech and life sciences, it can be REALLY difficult to find senior scientific women. So for some companies, if they want any significant female representation in senior ranks, they have to work extra hard to find women for less technical positions, such as CFO, VP of HR, Marketing, etc. Restaurant kitchens, baygo's field, are also dominated by men. These male dominated businesses are very hard on many women at the lower ranks and make women's career progress tougher (ask your daughters, nieces, etc). In these situations--where the playing field is not level for women from the start--sometimes "discrimination" is more fair for the people and better for the company.
