Not really

Every company I ahve ever worked for had NO problem hiring the most
qualified for the job irregradless or race, sex, or religion. Seems
they just wanted to see the company aspire to be the best and promoted
the best. I have never seen racial discrimination, I have seen sexual
discrimination where a terrible woman was promoted to a project leader
and then to dirextor because she was boning the boss. She didn't last
long when the wife found out then the company was bought out.

I've seen companies try to night fire a black employee because they were
afraid of the repercussions - this was after he was found in a bathroom
stall with another man. The other man was a customer.

Golf is really a bad analogy. Life is better - get off your lazy ass -
go to school - get an education - learn a skill - get a job - work hard
and show up for work on a regular basis. People really don't have
family emergencies every day and night do they? How many times fo their
grandmothers or Aunts die?
