My commentary on this...

If Jews are discriminated against merely due to their name at rates of 25%, and we've already seen hiring managers say they won't hire Jews.

This kind of discrimination is illegal, and should be enforced.

And when people say that Jews hire other Jews, they may want to consider that this isn't "in hiring" but due to the fact that Jews are less likely to be discriminatory in this way.

My former boss keeps trying to call me, seemingly desperate it seems to squelch any further implications on her part. I am really glad my voicemail doesn't work. I can only imagine the ableist dialogue sloshing out of her mouth. Must be a shame to be publicly called out for being an asshole. I am legally protected in PA because I am questioning whether certain decisions or conduct of the employer are unlawful.
