See here, it is the, norm, to hire someone for a job, NOT, on the best skills, for the job.
Because the ultra-Liberals, created, ‘Diversity’.
So, a qualified, white male, has less points than a non qualified, Black Female, who is Gay, and Muslim.
Diversity. And hiring someone, with more, ‘points’, gets more, ‘perks’.
Again something the Democrats highly Love !
The goal, have people, who are ‘different’, yet skilled for the Job.
Yet the Fairy Dust Sprinkling, Kum-By-You singing Snowflakes.
Make Law, cause the, ’Stand In The Street, Criers’, want it NOW !
That is the problem with ALL the, Socialists, Progressives, Ultra-Liberals here. They just Don’t think anything through.
Another question, If I came to Norway, immigrated, was accepted, got a job.
Would I be asked to learn, Norwegian ?
Or would I be provided with the choice of 34 different languages to communicate in, like in the USA, when I ask a question of the government, or many private companies ?
Houston, we have a problem. Or several. One of them is you, because you have made up your mind about things you appear to not know enough about. The other is me for A) not having a full enough grasp of the English language - I go by what I learned at school cirka 1980 - and for not being specific enough. You see, I should have added that
for a leading position, you may have to prove you chose the most skilled one. But hiring a typical office worker etc. anybody can hire whomever they desire.
If you come here and get a job, you do not have to learn any language unless the company or office you will work for has that as a klausul for giving you a job in the first place.
Quite a few English-speaking persons that decide to work here long-term or permanently fail to learn our language since everybody here speak English, meaning they can get by without speaking Norwegian. Personally, I find that a bit disrespectful, regardless of your native tongue. Not only English-speaking people learn little or no Norwegian, though, also Polish etc. are happy not being understood or able to understand. If I moved to China or whatever for an extended period, I would feel obligated to learn the language.
You can find public documentation in several languages - don't know the number, but I doubt it is anywhere near 34 - and you can also get an interpreter to help you navigate through the official system if you lack sufficient understanding of the language.
Not sure if you think having 34 languages at disposal in USA is a good or bad thing, because it sure cost money.
