[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That question would violate anti-discrimination laws, but as an employer of only a single employee, I don’t think you’re technically subject to those laws.  That said, I think it’s worth considering the purpose of the question and whether that question is a good way to achieve that purpose.  If you’re trying to reduce the risk of coronavirus exposure, you might be safer with someone who’s married to a partner who works from home right now than a [b]single person who feels isolated at home alone and therefore is hanging out with groups of friends on the weekend.[/b][/quote]

Don't be so quick to jump to assumptions. I'm a single person who lives alone, and I'm happy as a clam. I have no desire to hang out with friends. [/quote]

+1. I am a single nanny who lives alone and I am 100% isolated on weekends and evenings.  My employers even do my grocery shopping for me.  Yes, it gets lonely but the health of my charge and my pregnant (and wonderful) employer is at stake.  It’s a small sacrifice.  [/quote]

This is weird. You two must be introverts and not actively looking for a relationship.[/quote]
