A recent viral social media post has shed light on blatant racism in the hiring practices of a company known as Vitality Health. The post, shared by a woman named Janelle Adams, showcases an email from the employer that explicitly states they disregard applicants with what they term “ghetto names.”
Adams, who applied for a customer service role, expressed her disbelief at being disqualified solely based on her name, despite her qualifications. The email from Vitality Health confirmed this discriminatory stance, sparking outrage online.
After Adams’s post gained traction, another woman, Tasha Mitchell, came forward with a similar experience. She revealed that she received the same dismissive email, stating, “They didn’t care about my accomplishments; my name alone was enough to disqualify me.” The use of the term “ghetto” to refer to their names is not just offensive; it highlights systemic issues of racism in hiring practices.
In an attempt to distance themselves from the scandal, Vitality Health’s CEO, Mark Thompson, acknowledged the emails but suggested that they might have been sent by a “disgruntled employee” who compromised their job posting account. “This does not reflect our company values,” he stated. However, an investigation by Indeed.com found no evidence of any hacking, emphasizing the need for accountability within the company.
