Gender discrimination?!?

Question

if i go and inquire for a job and the manager (who is female) tells me that they are looking for people but are only looking to hire girls because they have enough guy help ! Is this gender discrimination and could it be a law suit?

Answer 1

doubt it really look at it this way I am hiring at hooters i already have male bus boys and male dishwashers and male cooks what i really need is a woman to work for me because that is why it is called hooters

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

It depends on the job.  If they are looking to hire say, 20 women and 20 men, and have the men all hired, then there's no discrimination there.

Answer 4

It's only discrimination if there is no justifiable reason to limit the hiring to women.

For instance, if they need women for a clothing store in the women's lingerie section, it's perfectly reasonable to refuse to hire guys.  Or a gym might need female trainers but not male right now.  Etc etc.

Answer 5

I think the EEOC will only consider it discrimination if it is an across the board policy not to hire ANY males.
