Thoughts on marital status bias?
Do you think you have experienced it either to your detriment or benefit? Have you observed it in your work place?
Do you remove, or have you ever removed, your e-ring and /or wedding ring for an interview or job based on perceived marital status bias?
For context, here's a U.K. article, a U.S. article and a study which serves as the basis of the U.S. article.
