Question:
You are the operations manager at an electric-car company, and you need to hire many more employees to meet increasing sales demand. The CEO of the company proposes that the company relax the current hiring policies that are too restrictive. She recommends that the company change the policy to hire more healthy, dynamic, energetic, single (i.e., not married) men, and pay the new employees less. With the new policy, the company will have lower labor expenses, more productive, and have to provide less sick/family time. Write a recommendation to the CEO, and explain the potential issues, if any.
