Not in the U.S., they're not!! I'd report 'em to the nearest EEOC office.

About fifteen years or so ago, I was interviewing for a job, and the
interviewer asked me whether I had kids or planned on having them. I wasn't sure how to answer that and I just stared for a minute, and he said "yes, I know I'm not supposed to ask that, but it's important to us, and it would be my word against yours anyway." I said "Thanks for your time" and I got up and left. End of interview. Bad enough that he asked the question KNOWING he wasn't supposed to, but it was the last line that made sure I didn't want to work for him. "spampot" wrote in message ...
