[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a classic EEO violation.  It's used as a hypothetical when training managers.  There are too many ways that this could be perceived as discrimination.  Age, gender, religion, national origin, discrimination for past protected activity.  I can't imagine any savvy manager doing this.

Talk to HR.  There is no excuse for this type of misconduct.[/quote]

It is only an EEO violation if the person is in a protected class (that differs from the others).

With that said, it is bad form to exclude people.  [/quote]

Everyone is in a protected class.[/quote]

That is not how EEO law works.  They can fire someone for being white.[/quote]

Employment lawyer here.  No, they absolutely cannot.  Race is a protected class no matter what race you are.  Caucasians file EEO complaints all the time.  So do men.

If there are five people on a team going to lunch, they are not all going to be the same religion.  They are not all going to be the same national origin.  They are probably not going to be the same gender, or age category.  There is no way that this is not an EEO violation.[/quote]
