Lola Nena’s Qualifications for Applicants Earns Praises From Netizens
The popular food company Lola Nena’s qualifications for applicants goes viral online after Potato Corner received bad publicity after posting qualification.
A few days ago, the food business Potato Corner received a massive amount of criticism after one of its branches posted a set of qualifications for potential applicants that many netizens compared to the standards of a beauty pageant.
The post immediately spread like a wildfire online and garnered negative reactions from the internet users. A lot of netizens lambasted the company exclaiming that the requirements were too much for a service crew.
The famous snack brand has issued an official statement regarding the incident and expressed regret over the job posting.
“We are addressing this recent incident involving a well-meaning but insensitive job posting. The PotatoCorner branch in Ventura Mall is not yet operational but will open soon.
At PotatoCorner, we firmly believe in the value of diversity and inclusion, true to what the brand provides to our cherished guests and valued business partners. We do not support or condone discriminatory hiring practices.
We deeply regret the oversight in the job posting. We, together with our business partners, are working to ensure that such incidents will not happen in the future.” Potato corner said in a statement.
Amidst the controversy, another food company “Lola Nena’s” took the opportunity by making a contrasting post to Potato Corner’s qualification. The firm aims to boost its image.
Through a Facebook post, Lola Nena’s presented a creative and inviting hiring poster designed to attract potential applicants from all walks of life. The poster has inclusive and non-discriminatory criteria.
The company refrains from imposing age limits, education requirements, gender specifications, or appearance expectations. Instead, the company places a premium on values such as love, care, respect, warmth, and professionalism.
“We believe in the joy of comfort and the power of connection. And most importantly, we believe in YOU! If you share our love for great food and meaningful connections, come and be a part of our team,” the poster reads.
The social media users expressed their reactions to the firm’s qualifications:
