Hey Guys,

I was trying to apply for a position at IBM. I was putting in my information and there came a page where they require a candidate to put the country of their academic degree. I scrolled down to select Nepal for my master's (or US equivalent bachelor) degree. However, there was no Nepal in the list. India, Pakistan and so many country were on the list. Why they excluded Nepal? Even worse, there is no place to write down the name of a different country than that are listed. I felt real bad.

Do they think Nepal is not a country or there is no university at all? or are they trying to exclude all Nepalis from applying to their openings? Looks like IBM is not an EOE. In either case, is it not a discrimination based on the national origin? Let's fight back against this discrimination.

Let's sue IBM and get a lot of punitive damages.

I was so stunned.
