QA5: My Boss is Blatantly Discriminating!

We got some great feedback and some great questions this week! Check them out below. Have a question of your own? You ask the questions. We find the answers. Email us: [email protected]

1. My boss is attempting to engage in a clear case of employment discrimination by hiring an unqualified man over multiple women that are significantly more qualified. A team of us conducted the interviews and everyone, except my boss, ranked the man last.  He has been very vocal about his motive: Our team is overwhelmingly female and he wants to hire a man. I am not OK w/ this. I plan to leave this job soon, but I still don’t want to burn any bridges. I have spoken to him about this privately, letting him know that it is both morally/ethically wrong as well as illegal.  But it seems that he is still going to go through with it. What would Rich & WIM do? What should I do if I decide that this is something that I cannot sit idly by and let happen?
