Screw your race, screw your religion and disability. Felons, no matter race or religion are the largest discriminated group there is.
very true. however im not sure how long ago that was. because i know weve hired some people that were on parole and had no idea until termination simply because they lied on their applications about felonies and crimes. we dont do team member background checks. and mcdonalds has recently promoted several criminals to managers because they work cheaper.

It has been 18 years since all of that, no charges of any kind since, and to this day still have issue with in different aspects of life, employment and such. None of my crimes were violent in any way, or crimes against a person, but are treated as such.
I have seen applications ask, "Have you been convicted of a crime in the past five years?", and have answered truthfully, "No". Then thru the interview process they bring up my charges that are well over five years old and ask why I didn't list them. I point out what the application states, and they point out that the position has been filled and are no longer hiring.


*typing quick, I spelled "hiring" with highering, sheesh

On a side note, I just tied a tether ball with a short line to my daughters ankle and told her to kick it. She did, it was hilarious. Got to love two year olds, lol
