A woman has revealed how she faced discrimination during an interview for a plumbing job, as the receptionist told her that she was “expecting” the applicant “to be a man”. In a recent post shared to the Subreddit “Antiwork,” u/bisqueef_munchies posted a screenshots of a plumbing job she applied to via Indeed and the emails she sent to job’s company the Independent reported. According to the first screenshot of the post, the woman was contacted by someone through Indeed, who asked her if she was interested in a job as a Plumbing Mechanic, which required at least two years of more of plumbing experience. The woman noted how the job had a salary of $24 to $34 an hour, according to the Indeed posting. In another screenshot, the Reddit user shared a follow-up email that she sent to the plumbing company. She said that after submitting her application, she attended the interview, where the receptionist made some inappropriate comments. “I arrive on time for my interview and introduced myslef to the receptionist, [name redacted],” the email read. “She said to me, ‘Oh, I was expecting a man.’” The original poster (OP for short) recalled how the receptionist then “handed [her]” the application and let her know with whom she would be interviewing. After escorting the job applicant to the conference room, the receptionist looked at her application and claimed that there was “no way that [the Reddit poster] would be paid” the wage she requested. “She read on the application that I had written $24 as a wage I would accept,” the message continued. “She told me there is no way that I would be paid $24, as I did not have enough experience as a plumber.”
