So you would want Amazon to pass him over because his wife has an existing medical condition? That would be a good article too.


Would it? "Your circumstances have us believe you're not the best fit for the company" is a scandal? Should Amazon be required to hire anyone who walks in the door?


Of course refusing to hire someone because their SO has cancer would lead to a scandal, LMAO. I assume you're joking


I hope so. Its reasonable for that response if its the case where the person does not have the technical ability via their prior experience. But that line of reasoning for a candidate to not be hired because of their spouse's ailment is just morale bankruptcy.
