Quick update: I received an e-mail from Diane from the Consumer Affairs Department mentioned previously. She states:

Hello Jordan,

I am writing to follow up on our previous e-mails (which I have pasted below). I wanted to let you know the careers section of our web site has been updated.

… and wow, did they!

Here’s the OLD version of their site:

See’s Candies is dedicated to providing a positive work environment where each individual is challenged to achieve their best. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we welcome applications from qualified candidates without regard to race, gender, ethnicity, disability, or religious preference.

Here’s the NEW version of their site (highlighted words are new):

See’s Candies is dedicated to providing a positive work environment where each individual is challenged to achieve their best. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we welcome applications from qualified candidates without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, childbirth, national origin, ancestry, age, medical condition, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender, identity, military service or any other classification protected by state, federal and local laws and ordinances.

Yeah, I think they pretty much hit everything. But now the question is whether these words are enough? As our community has learned with Obama, talk is cheap. It’s still unclear as to whether they’re providing full benefits to their corporate office employees and we’re also left scratching our heads over why they’d deny the San Francisco Human Rights Commission access to information that might clear them of any wrong-doing?

I’ll follow up with the SF HRC and see what we can do about getting a re-review. More information as it becomes available…

UPDATE: I might pass this on to See’s Consumer Affairs Department! “5 Steps for Successful Social Media Damage Control“
