[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is reasonable.  I recently received a rather generous offer (30% raise) to a number I never thought I would earn.

I turned it down because of these issues.  The problem for me is I have medical issues which require flexibility (I never know when I will be out for a few weeks or longer....disability coverage is a must, either they pay or I pay)[/quote]

I don't think it is a reasonable way to phrase a question.  So would it be ok for them to ask if you had any medical issues they should be aware of?  Because that sounds a bunch like "do you have kids" question.[/quote]

I think it's a reasonable question. I think it's a reasonable way for an employer to verify if you have [i]any[/i] reasons (any reason: a demanding extracurricular, a second job, coursework, a band that practices, whatever!) that would make weekends or evenings impossible. You don't want to find out this stuff after you invested time in taking leave to go interview; much better to know now for all concerned if this is a good position for you.

BTW: it doesn't sound like a good job for you. [b]Your response suggests that you would be a nightmare of an employee.[/b] Hence the screening survey.[/quote]  That's just mean. It doesn't mean that the PP doesn't have value or wouldn't contribute in a positive way. I'm sorry you see people this way.[/quote]
