Re: Should people get a job on ability or because they tick a PC box?

Of course there are people who play the system....and it because the system is flawed.
It is in the attempt to make everyone equal...it will never work.
There has never ever been equality, there never will be equality....and trying to manufacture equality is not the way to do it, because it is counter productive.
There are always going to be those who are cleverer, or who earn more money or who have better privileges.

It creates a simmering resentment in those who are not considered.
A bit like the giving of 25 yr olds £10,000 at the expense of taxing the elderly more to pay for it.

I think it is immoral to select a person for a position because they tick a box that will satisfy a government target unless of course their skills, experience or qualifications make them the best person for the job.
