Vent: friend admitted he doesn't hire women if he thinks they're gonna have kids

ugh sadly it’s more common than ppl admit. they don’t say it out loud often, but it def happens behind the scenes. I’ve been asked “do you plan to settle down soon?” more times than I can count
Yeah that’s textbook discrimination. And no, asking sneaky personal questions doesn’t make it better. It’s still gross and unethical AF
I recently got laid off and mentioned it to a (male) friend who does hiring for tech roles. he goes, “yeah I usually don’t hire women who seem like they’re gonna start a family”
EXCUSE ME??? like… what??
he even said he asks “casual” questions like how long they’ve been married to guess if they’ll have kids soon
I’m still in shock. how is this just something ppl say out loud?? is this actually common?? 😩
