Ok going back to the beginning then ..... why would failing an interview immediately put the thoughts of discrimination in people’s heads? Why can you understand it?
That kind of reaction in the first place says more about the candidates personality than anything else. Looking at the sheer paranoia and cynicism on display on here it actually makes me think that they have far more pressing things to worry about than discrimination!
I don’t know these people but it’s safe to say that if a sniff of these negative personality traits came across in an interview then sod discrimination! I’d say it’s more a manager trying to keep his/her team positive!
At a former toc we had a guy who came In every day whinging and moaning about how the world was against him and how the system was corrupt and conspired to hold him back! To the point other people would get up and leave!
If people can’t hold their hands up and admit they’re wrong, that they’ve fallen short, that they’ve made a mistake without it being a conspiracy or someone else’s fault then They won’t last long on the railway anyway.
Maybe there are driver managers that use discriminatory tactics but then again maybe their aren’t! I just don’t feel that failing an interview then spouting conspiracy with no actual evidence in a public forum is the way to do it!
Being trigger happy on social media like some have done on here has got no end of people in bother! I just don’t feel that people questioning the integrity of others already employed in an industry they’re desperate to get into will do them any favours!....as a manager I certainly wouldn’t infect me team with that character trait no matter how high a score they got in relation to the questions.
