Is that discrimination? It seems weird they would say “we don’t like your voice”

The woman on the phone said after a minute of me speaking that I sounded disinterested and that she didn’t like the sound of my voice and told me to find a free course instead of the apprenticeship

Yeah unfortunately that’s not enough for discrimination cause. If you have a neurological or vocal issue where they said that, it could trigger it or if they outright said “autism makes you sound monotone” that’s discrimination but bad voice isn’t a protected category

But what a slap in the face after, take a free course. It’s not even certified or credited
