It wasn’t. But the thing is, it’s only illegal if it’s the official reason for rejection. They can tell you in your face that they’re discriminating you, but you can’t do shit about it unless you get it in writing

  There is a thing that people invented some time ago, it’s called lying. It allows for example for you to say something and then later pretend you didn’t say it. Wild stuff.

    Are you suggesting people in the described scenario where they are directly and blatantly discriminated against shouldn’t act just because they can lie and said they didn’t? Because that’s awful advice.

    No, I’m trying to set some expectations. The right thing to do is to probably lawyer up and try to go after the company. But it almost certainly wouldn’t do anything, and it will be long, expensive, and ultimately pointless endeavor, best case scenario the company that hates you now will be forced to employ you.
