I think they should do background checks on people working from McDonald's all the way up the chain to other Corporate careers. I don't have children but, I'd be pretty upset if my teenage daughter was flipping burgers after school, right next to a sex offender. No thanks!
I think it's this sort of thought thats keeping people with prior convictions down. Just because someone committed a crime in the past doesn't mean he hasn't reformed or is going to rape all his co-workers and steal from his employer. AND THEY HAVE TO WORK SOMEWHERE!

Or we could put them on public assistance if that works for everyone.

Someone who was in a sketchy possible date rape situation might be ok with me 15 years later. (As in, to work next to...I could probably be convinced that they won't repeat.) Someone who violently raped a woman in an alley, different story...call me judgmental, fine. Or someone who sexually abused a child. IMO they shouldn't come out.

I don't think you're being judgmental at all because it's a legitimate concern. MAintaining a safe environment for your employees should be a top priority for employers.
