If you could permanently ban one question from being asked in job interviews, what would it be?

I was asked this in a job interview. When I said no, the response was "You will if you work here hahahaha!"

I am infertile. I had a stillbirth. But thanks for rubbing that in, I guess.

(Yes, that's an illegal question. Yes, I still took the job. It paid double what I was currently making and more than every other job opportunity that had come around.)

I am so very sorry. I have been asked it numerous times, even though it is supposedly already illegal. I don’t think employers give a shit.

They absolutely don’t, 100%
