For all you minorities out there...

Does it sway your opinion of the company you're applying for to have the disclaimer "[so-and-so company] is an equal opportunity employer"? Aren't all companies equal opportunity employers now?

yeah, its some crazy shit. you should see some of the walls in my office, they are covered with shit that the government or ECOA (equal credit opportunity act; hence the mtg. industry) requires us to put up for public display. if we dont we get fined this crazy sick amount of money. there are just so many ppl out there that sue for whatever they can, sad that the government and corporations have to cover their asses like this.

it just gets worse fro here.

I suppose that's true, that they're not necessarily doing it to make sure potential employees know they'll get hired regardless of race/gender/whatever, they're probably doing it so that the stupid people who don't get hired don't decide it was because they were "different" and sue.
