This reminds me of all those memes I saw years ago of conservatives posting how liberals love to celebrate diversity but they are hypocrites since they don't allow straight pride parades. This straight banker has the same idiotic logic.

[Quote]he was told that every single one of the bank’s managers “in both his office and headquarters were either gay or bisexual” and that was “why young employees with little qualifications were promoted.”

What bank is this? Everyone at the bank headquarters is gay? I wish, it doesn't pass the smell test.

[quote]He also says that since his job required him to speak to as many as 70 customers a day, he suffered vocal cord injuries and that the bank wouldn’t provide him adequate workplace accommodations, forcing him to go on short-term disability.

FRIVOLOUS SHAKEDOWN ALERT!

People who work at banks tend to think they should have all the money that the account holders have.

It's probably a true story. His identity didn't offer the en vogue gimmick. Though one would think with a name like his, he hit other buttons.

That must be a really catty and superficial work environment.

This is pure bullshit.

Bank is usually a conservative work enviroment, it's more common bankers hiding being gay than getting favoured on promotions

Why would Queerty, of all places, publish this?

by Anonymousreply 14December 11, 2019 7:35 PM

Wait. Was his “disability” that he was straight?

by Anonymousreply 15December 11, 2019 7:38 PM

Queerty is obsessed with straight men, R14, and always has been.

Straight white gentile men are always whining that they're being discriminated against, when another other than a straight white gentile man gets a promotion.

Because some of them really do feel that all promotions OUGHT to go to straight white gentile men, and that if anyone else gets ahead, it's due to affirmative action or political correctness or discrimination.

omg, unlike you eldergays, I just googled the company to post pics of the supposed gay/bi execs. I actually briefly met the CEO when he came to my office a year or two ago.

They all look straight to me.

There's two guys named Bruce. Clearly gay!

The guy who filed the complaint is named Aaren Jagadeesh.

You know what that means.

by Anonymousreply 21December 11, 2019 8:13 PM

If this is true, the unfortunate straight man found the only bank like this in the entire world.

It sucks to be him.

Move to another bank. This will NOT happen twice.

R22 he's done. No one will hire him knowing that when he doesn't get his way he'll file a complaint.

by Anonymousreply 23December 11, 2019 8:26 PM

He probably refused to present hole.

by Anonymousreply 24December 11, 2019 8:28 PM

From what I understand this guy only worked there for three months and was hired to cold call people.

He decided he wanted to move up in the company, was denied that so decided he had a disability and couldn't do the job he was hired to do.

Another person gaming the system to take advantage of laws in place to protect people with real disabilities.

by Anonymousreply 25December 11, 2019 8:30 PM

He should have presented hairy hole.

by Anonymousreply 26December 11, 2019 8:32 PM

Well, I don’t think it’s BECAUSE he’s straight. But I can easily believe that a “diversity” promotion was given to someone else.

He knew that in Canada brown trumps everything.

it is possible.

by Anonymousreply 29December 11, 2019 9:33 PM

As much as I think that this guy's case is mostly BS (I'm sure he had other issues) there is some truth to it. I work in a bank and in my division there are a lot of gays in management. Gay applicants are always given preferential treatment regardless of qualifications especially if they are even semi attractive. I can't tell you how many times it's backfired and the gay hire turned out to be woefully unqualified and had to be let go and the same process starts all over again. I've walked out of joint candidate interviews with some of the managers (cause god forbid they can do it alone) only to be asked "you think he's family" ? My response is always what difference does it make? It's kind of nauseating. When I hire people I couldn't care less about their sexual orientation. I just want someone that can the job.

The federal court in Canada has ordered the Canadian Human Rights Commission to take a proper look at the case, after they improperly dismissed it.

The exciting world of cocking gay bankers sounds exhilarating! Clearly, I went into the wrong field..

by Anonymousreply 36December 11, 2019 11:22 PM

R30 here. I'm not saying that the mgt of the bank at a corp level is gay. I'm saying the middle managers in my division are alot of gays. A woman runs the whole division and she likes her gays. It's a very liberal place. We had domestic partner benefits before any other bank.
