Default Re: Hiring ex-cons, should employers share the information?

It would depend a little on the exact jobs we're talking about, but it appears that both Mr. Davis and Mr. Mexico are senior executives of some sort (I'd feel differently if the job was managing a call center and Mr. Mexico was a telemarketer or something). Based on the assumption that Mr. Davis and Mr. Mexico would be working very closely together, if I was Mr. Davis this would definitely give me pause. I would address it with the company and possibly with Mr. Mexico himself (not sure about the legality of that but I'd find out). So yes, it would factor into my decision, but without more information there's no way to say whether it'd be a deal breaker.

If I found out about this after the fact, and I knew the company knew and didn't tell me, I think I'd be pissed off. Again, I'm assuming that I'm an important executive who's basically running the place, and the failure to disclose this to me would be a big red flag aside from the offense itself.
