Are you fucking kidding me? This is some pedantic shit. No, they can't ask for a specific form of ID. I'm familiar with the list of documents and the ones that the vast majority of people starting a job are going to have is their driver's license and SS card.
I'm sorry you feel the need to make such a big deal over nothing to the point of making multiple obtuse comments, maybe next time you can just keep your mouth shut.
I'm going to trust the person that does this for a living over your wild claims that asking for a SS card (something literally every job that I've had -and I've had a lot- required) is illegal.
You didn't see an article, you saw a screenshot of a tweet. As far as I can tell that was a lie. We should not be spreading lies when there are enough true horrible things they have done we could be talking about.
Unless I'm wrong and you're the one person on Lemmy that actually saw an article supporting that claim. I'd like to be wrong, if I am could you please link the article?
If we in the US ever get out of this mess I'd love to see that happen to all Fox News execs and on-air personalities.
