An assumption at best. Those of us that have the leverage to choose our employers can be judged by that choice.

That's ridiculous self-serving high-horse grade-a bullshit. You've chosen a single feature among countless other's and decided to give it disproportional weight and treat it as a perfect predictor.

Not true. It's not a predictor of anything and I never claimed it was. I said that is a feature that is a disqualifier, especially in the current market of employer/employee choice. There are many other features like this too, including the attitude presented by your comment.
